Teaser Video
We had the chance to shoot a wedding this past weekend at a plantation home in Mississippi and it was gorgeous. I was so eager to play with the footage that I made a little teaser video for the couple to email to friends and family. It's not really a trailer, so I think the term "teaser" works better. Maybe I can put a little marketing spin on it and say it's a Silver Media style trailer.

Beautiful. I loved the shots and the editing, especially the editing. Plus you made it just the right length. Long enough to be interesting but short enough to serve perfectly as a teaser. Usually I see people make the teasers too long.

"Coming spring 2008"! Holy backlog, Batman!
Beautiful video. I'm sure they'll love it. |

Funny.
I put spring 2008 cause "coming sometime late 2007 early 2008" just didn't have the same ring to it. I could have gone with the super honest "coming sometime before the end of the year depending on how many days I waste emailing, reading DVINFO, sleeping in, or staring blankly at the wall thinking about all the work I'm not getting done while staring at this wall... or maybe even early 2008 now that I think about it"

Only if that disease is being super cool, ultra sexy wedding videographers.... yeah.
I wish my name was half as cool as Vito DeFilippo. I'm jealous.

I'm thinking about writing into my contract that we only shoot at plantation houses on perfect fall afternoons with attractive couples from wealthy families. Oh, and I'm raising my prices to $30,000 per event. Think it'll fly?

Me: "Hi, my name's Vito" Some Guy: "Nice to meet you, Peter." Me: "No, it's Vito." Some Guy: "That's what I said..." I also work as an actor (you can see on IMDB, if you're bored enough), so it's a bit of a tough name to work with. I considered making up a stage name, but felt too silly. |

Vito....ah yes, i remember seeing you as the Public Works Guy in the Secret Window :)
seriously, well done...working as an actor hasn't put you off this industry of filming/directing/editing! |

That's fine with me. The topic of "hey, look at my pretty video and tell me how great I am" already ran it's course. I got the love and acceptance I've been searching for, now my therapist can take a break for a while. This is much more interesting anyway. [/dry humor]

Hello Ethan,
The clip is great! I know you probably already sent the clip to the Plantation Home and the photographer. Which plantation is it, I don't recognize it?

Plantations are a beautiful thing!
You might also want to send Dunleith a dvd with the clip on it. They just might pull it out and show it to one of their brides. At least it will keep your name in front of them.
