Thread: HD wedding showreel

Nice shots very nicely put together.

Not much to critic here.
Nicely composed and chosen shots. Simple yet slick presentation with good music. Nice job.

I liked the desaturated look and the vignetting. The photos were great; you seem to have all the "standard wedding shots" down, plus a talent for portraiture. As for the slide show, it was clean and professional-looking. Nothing much to criticize. If this is going to be used for advertising your services, I think it will be effective.

Am I the only person who thought many of the shots looked overexposed? eg: 0:32 I can only assume given the obvious competence that this look is intentional.

I like what you have achieved as an overall piece however the photo album effect becomes a little repetitive which is a shame. I would urge you to include more video shots as the effect of a photo coming to life is great.

Now I am no photographer so what do I know, but the shot on the album cover, does that picture have sufficient looking room for the bride?

I think most of us realised the stylisation of the photos just like the ones that are washed out and indeed some that are underexposed. I don't think it distracts form been a great photo album. One that I would be pleased to have of my "special day".

I agree with Shrimpy that making the photos come to life looks cool. He said trying to sound like a teenager. lol

OK. It's just me then. I don't mind styalised but personally I wouldn't want anything that removes detail from the subject. I'm just too literal.

Really nice photo's and I think it's great.
But uhm maybe a strange question, are these 2 different couples? or is the woman first married to 1 guy and then to another?
seems a bit strange like, in the beginning she married to a guy with eyebrows and a chisseled chin, and then onwards she's marrying this guy with tweezed eyebrows and a different face.
could be that I'm just not seeing straight or something.
(btw no offence intended)

Thank you all for commenting and coming with critisism!

The look is actually intentional! I try to make every photography something special...whatever it takes

Well this video is my first....and you are spot on with your comment about it getting a little repetitive But I liked the song so much that I made the video fit it length. I did not make any real video at the two weddings I attented last year...but after working with the 5D mkii video on my new 27" iMac a whole new world has opened up for me...the old computer could not handle the HD video at all! So now I look forward to next summer

Many of the photos are vertical shots and are zoomed in on. The picture on the front of the book is actually quite big: http://iloapp.madsdreier.dk/data/_ga...27_resized.jpg but the viewer of the video cant see this....so I see what you mean

No....not a strange question! Yes it is two different couples...!
