Here are a few clips from my first wedding video attempts, from 2 different weddings.

They were both shot on basic sony avchd hanycams. Unfortunately I didn't do much with regards to sound on these. Both couples were friends of the family, and weren't actually planning on having a video. I just offerered to do them for very little money, in order to get some practice.

I'm doing another wedding next week, and have several more booked this year. I have acquired a Z1, a decent manfrotto tri-pod, and a couple of DVR's (so will be mic-ing up the groom and the minister)- with any luck this one will be of a much better quality than the clips below, both in image quality and sound quality.

But apart from these areas, I would love some advice on other areas that I could improve on...

Any advice would be much appreciated (feel free to be as critical as you like! I know that these aren't brilliant!)
