Photography as seen through a videographer's eye.

This past year has been really exciting for videographers willing to embrace change and ride it hard.  With the advent of HD SLR cameras (still cameras pro photographers use) videographers finally have access to the same lenses and high-end photography gear prevalent in the motion picture industry.  Not to mention all this can be achieved at a fraction of what it would have cost several years ago.  This is important, because it means we won't have to charge you an arm and a leg for our services.  Of course prices may increase, but the quality of our work will also.  You'll start to see this change when you compare the old "video" look to what we now call the "christmas look"

What does all this mean for brides?  The answer is easy: motion-picture quality productions of their day that can stand up to anything produced on television or in the theater.  Now wait a minute!  That statement is a bit over the top, right?  Not really.  For those of us willing to learn and work hard, that very same production quality can be achieved on a weekly basis.

Digital Memories has embraced this new technique, using pro HD SLR cameras, combined with pro HD video gear and lenses, to capture weddings and other events in a way that mimic the look of 35mm motion picture film.  This is a big deal to videographers such as myself.  And even though we've only just begun, I feel it's already changed our style for the better.

Keep this in mind when booking a video studio.  Are they still stuck in the old ways of lazy, tripod shooting?  Have they even tried to work with Steadycam gear and hybrid, photo/video cameras?  Are they shooting HD or using old standard cameras? All of these details can really make a difference in your end product.  Ask questions and look at more than one studio.  There are huge difference in quality depending on who you visit.

And, yes, quality does matter when it comes to video.   At least that's what I believe.

Keep an eye out for more of our work in the coming weeks.   And remember one thing... a videographer is only as good as his attitude and willingness to learn.
