I am surprise, isn't that the normal? At least for the companies that I had enquired last time....
In general, this is normally what they do, they will be there for the whole day, but depending on the event happening, the final Raw footage might only be 2-3hrs worth. After editing, it will normally be about 2hrs worth. I find this is reasonable mah...
Just wondering how much footage you captured for a normal AD wedding event? After editing how long is the final footage? full 10 hrs like taken from CCTV? ;)

Hi hi,
Just sharing our production perspectives...
Most of our wedding projects are handled by 1 videographer and we usually end up with 5-6 hrs worth of footage for a normal wedding day. For weddings with church ceremony, we'll end up with much more as we always run 3-cams at the church by 2 videographers. E.g. the bridal march-in can be edited much better with shots from several different angles with full continuity, instead of just 1 single frontal shot tat makes even 3 sec of it seems like eternity. The max we ever got from a single-day wedding shoot was really 10 hrs worth of footage!

This unlimited shooting approach gives us tons of good footage which we can work with when we produce the highlights or the "raw footage". Hence better quality works. We also work towards capturing spontaneous conversations/dialogues that aids in telling the wedding-day story (in my opinion, this is the most challenging part).

Our express highlights of the morning proceedings are approx 3-5 min. Our full-day highlights range 8-10 mins. We limit the edited "raw footage" that is delivered to the couple to between 1- 2 hrs.

I see, so the final product that you give your customer is a 8-10 mins full day highlights + about 2 hrs edited footage? And the 5 to 10 hrs raw footage will be given also?
Cos the one I got, give me a 5-7 min express highlights, 1 song length wedding highlight, 1 DVD of edited full day footage about 2hr and finally a 3 DV tape of the non-edited raw version, which I don't even bother to convert it to DVDs, cos I don't feel they are missing anything important in the edited version.

Oh, we don't believe that the 5-10 hrs of raw footage will be of any value to anyone. Hence we do not give it out. Unless the couple wants to learn how to shoot wedding video our way, or if the couple are editors themselves, then we'll give them the avi or M2t files on their HDD. We don't use tapes any more.

But I'll say it is like having the 100+ hrs of footage from 1 episode of the Amazing Race instead of watching the fully edited 1 hr version. Haha...

Anyway, those service providers who are giving the "mother-of-all" raw footages (i.e. the shaky and nauseating footages which are transferred wholesale to DVDs) are the ones mis-educating the local consumers. In my opinion, a full-day capturing service with this kind of deliverable is not even worth $400. The main man hr costs of a good wedding video is always in the post-production, not the capturing.

I agreed on the above!
In fact, for me I don't even care how long they capture the raw footage, 3 hrs or 12hrs, as long as the final 2hrs DVD is in good quality then I am happy liao.
I am willing to pay for a good final post production, not for a long raw footage!

Lastly, can PM me your rates, I might have a friend I can intro to you for your service....!

Like my previous post, I just picked up wedding not long ago. Thus our main website is still 'corporative'.
Apart from that, I've set up a wedding blog for Nanostudios.

I certainly hope the senior wedding cinematographers do not give us newbie a cold shoulder. I've got lots to learn and still learning.. and i definitely didn't start of my company doing weddings. Coming to that, how did u guys start-of in the field of wedding cinematography business?
 

Hi Welcome :) From what I know, some on the list are corely focused on the wedding business. Some have diversed business.

I would guess that most of the wedding people start as freelancers.
 

Hi Ruey, is 36 Frames and Redhat the same? Somehow I got confused...
