SUPER 8MM!
I got quoted for $3k+ for some super 8mm coverage of the wedding. Dude, I don't even want to spend $1,000 on a wedding videography. SO you know what? I'm going to buy the cameras and film myself, then I'll pass them onto whatever guests/relatives I find available. The best part is that there is no sound coverage, its just moving vintage-esque textured pictures. Its meant to be sloppy and choppy and cut over and over and the only thing people can do while they're being filmed is to constantly wave at the camera and make funny faces. I LOVE IT. I don't care if my wedding video is 30 minutes long, its all about highlights and showing someone what our day looked like (not necessarily what it sounded like). I don't plan on the finished video to be a silent film, but imagine how old-school cool that would be... with the beauty of technology we can dub some appropriate music over the moving pictures.Its gonna be "WONDER YEARS" status!
