Thanks. That is it. My other favorite wedding video that I saw recently was the photographer walking backwards getting shots of the recessional, and falling into the fountain. Well, I don't think "favorite" is the right word. Probably the one that makes me cringe the most. (see link below)

Anyone else out there have any similar videos to share? I'm sure we could all use a laugh this Monday morning...

Re: The Videographer vs. Photographer fight, I can't for the life of me remember who told me this, but someone who speaks the language told me that the fight was between the photographer and two private investigators that were hired to get footage of either the bride and groom for whatever reason. My apologies, because my memory is a bit foggy. It has to be months since I saw the clip and was told the context. I wish I could remember who told me so I could get in touch and get some clarification.

Obviously it's more than "Videographer vs. Photographer" because it soon becomes "Videographer vs. Videographer" and "Videographer vs. his own camera" which leads me to believe it was staged.

This one. Watch it right through to the end & you will see that it's not been staged for YouTube

What is there that leads you to believe it has not been staged? I think it's just a bit "too perfect". First, we see the drunk lady, then we see the bride's reaction, then we see more of the action and the bride's reaction, and so on. It tells a perfect story, which is not the way your typical home videographer shoots. Was it staged specifically for YouTube? Maybe not - it's too complex. I think it was probably part of a larger amateur production, but staged nonetheless.
