What effect exactly was it when you did the very low opacity red (a flag?) that flashed over it several times?

Ryan,
It is a stock footage laid on top of the clip with opacity lowered down to around 40-50%.

Very nice job. Really. Beautiful shots of San Francisco.
2 quick constructive criticisms. A) Closeups. There were virtually no close-ups. 99.9% of the footage was wide and medium shots. I saw no detail shots, especially no close-up of the engagement ring. After a while, the majestic landscape shots lose their value because every other shot is a wide shot. I was begging for a CU that never came. B) They're not actors. When the bride yelled "Yes", I cringed. The couple are not actors, and therefore unless they're able to successful do it, I don't like to hear them try to say a line or two. It takes away from the charm of the piece. Overall though, nice job. |

Also, I really liked the Glidetrack look. It's an impressive look and feel. Kudos on that.

Sigmund,
I really enjoyed the shot where he was twirling her around and the camera turned around them. As a newcomer, I have no idea how you did that but it was nice. How long did it take you to do? Art |

@Chris - thank you for the input. The no CUs were special request by the couple.
Yes, youre right, it is hard to do #2 especially if the couples are camera shy. My glidetrack is a shooter, so I think I needed a longer glidetrack for weddings. @art - the twirling shot took me about 4 takes. The overall video took me days since I work during the weekdays. It took me 100x or more to listen to the music background. I do this when Im driving. can you imagine guys that it was pouring the whole day. We had to use umbrella to protect my camera : )
