People have made comments in the media lately that professional videos of weddings are not only not needed but a waste of money.
They base these statements on the perception that with the price of small digital video-cameras dropping while increasing in image quality, plus software editing programs being bundled with the camera or with computers, anyone, a guest or amateur videographer can shoot and edit a quality video for free or for little cost to the bride and groom.
The opposing view is that unless a professional wedding videographer is used - someone who is experienced in capturing all the events of the wedding day by using a high quality camera with backups of batteries, tapes, a spare camera plus a video tripod; the bride and groom could be in for a nasty shock.
The professional videographer also has the editing done by a professional editor using professional editing software. The nasty shock mentioned caused by having an amateur video shooter could be a shaky, blurry, incorrect colour, low sound, jumpily-edited, missed shots all combining to make a low-budget disaster movie.
What do you think, go amateur and save money or go professional and pay? Does anyone have thoughts on this topic or tales of wedding video disasters and/or magnificent wedding video productions?
