Hey all,

We're just looking for some professional feedback on a new cut of a demo we have on our website. We were able to sit down with a couple we shot a wedding for and ask them some questions. We hope to add another couple in the next few weeks :D

Please feel free to give us your opinion on what works and what needs to be changed!

aaron, i thought that was totally brilliant. if i wasn't in this industry, and i lived near you, i'd book you after seeing that!

the VO really drives it, and makes it stand out. the footage is ace too, with only tiny minor things i 'could' pick up on, but won't. there's no need. it's just one brilliant little demo, and i loved it. held my interest totally.

Aaron... great job. I think your passed bride hit the nail on the head with her statement "it's a production". I love the cinamatic approach that the majority strives for in this industry. It's unexpected to many brides in my area (or at least the one's that my prices cater too).
Great job!

Thanks Stephen, and I totally agree. Most of our clients say they looked at 5 or more other videographers who don't take it beyond the first level of wedding videos.

We need more of these video around in our industry. They help all of us to keep opening doors with new clients in the wedding video business.
Good Job!

Hey Aaron,

Your wedding stuff looks great. The only thing I could say to change would be your interview background with the couple. (This is the news photographer in me coming out) I would say put them in a more visually compelling setting, nothing elaborate, just more than a wall behind their couch. You have very stunning video from the weddings, so carry that along through the interviews.

Hope that helps. Just my 2 cents.

Aaron...

I agree 100% with Mark... You did an awesome job on the structure of your video. If you get the opportunity again to interview a couple and take Marks words into advice.... Your demo would be over the top...
