Stephen Nathans-Kelly | A discussion of the use of inanimate objects in art film to convey shades of meaning and character development in Paul Auster's new book sent me in search of examples of this same technique used powerfully in wedding video. Here's what I found, and why it works.
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | Pixelpops' fast & Fabulous Volume 1—a rapid-fire assortment of great graphics tips—is that it not only transcends the limitations of many of the tutorial DVDs we see, but as a download-only Flash-based title, it also sidesteps one of the primary shortcomings of DVD as an instructional medium.
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | The latest installments in Mark & Trisha Von Lanken's definitive series on motion techniques for wedding and event video shooters picks up right where MCT I left off and adds tips for handheld cameras, and provides fascinating behind-the-scenes looks at first-dance shooting and how the Von Lankens cover bride and groom prep. Essential stuff.
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | Re:Frame re:loads and announces its first 2009 event: Re:Frame Austin, set for April 27-29 in a hotbed of indie filmmaking innovation and featuring StillMotion's Patrick Moreau and world-famous British DOP, editor, and cinematographer Philip Bloom
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | Where does the skilled and diligent professional shooter and editor fit in the emergent "publish, then filter" world of the Web 2.0 era?
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | Now that HD DVD is gone, will Blu-ray succeed DVD as the video delivery king? Or will it be streaming? Syncable set-tops? Holographic storage? The answer...
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | What happens when nine leading wedding filmmakers who met online get together in New Orleans to discuss the future of wedding videography? In a word, Re:Frame. But what exactly is Re:Frame, who's behind it, and how do they plan to reframe the image of the wedding video industry, beginning with the self-image of wedding videographers themselves?
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | There are as many ways to see and cultivate the event video industry as there are ways to frame a shot, and more potential all-stars than you could possibly fit on a conference speaker roster or a 25-member all-star team. What does the 2007 EventDV 25 teach us about the current state of this industry?
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | Great seminars; awards, awards, and more awards; legends built and and stars born at the 4EVER Group's Video 08
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | Since we published our November 2007 cover story on the emerging "Trash the Dress" trend, the trashing-bashing missives have come fast and furious. The problem here is that symbols like wedding dresses mean different things to different people.
What products ruled the roost in event videography in 2007? And what were the biggest trends in the industry? The envelope, please...
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | One of the few constants in the video industry is the endless barrage of new products and technologies that—if you let them dictate your equipment choices—will put you out of business faster than yelling "Free Bird" all through the first dance.
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | In the three years we've been doing EventDV, relationships between event videographers and photographers have ranged all over the map. Open hostility is less prevalent than it used to be, cordiality makes good business, and cooperation makes for reliable references. But given the commonality of the two crafts, what about stepping beyond cooperation to collaboration?
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | Most videographers who are familiar with Joel Peregrine and his reputation for producing world-class cinematic wedding video from five-camera one-man-band wedding shoots have two questions: Is it true, and how does he do it? Here we find out, following Peregrine through a typical wedding, culminating in a wedding-day edit.
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | With its auspicious blue glow, the Bravo XR Disc Publisher ($3,295) is everything you'd expect from a stackable, rackmountable counterpart to Primera's popular Bravo II: it's a fast, efficient, rock-solid automated DVD/CD publishing system that delivers great print quality and a refreshing runs-right-out-of-the-box experience. But the real joy in testing this unit came in discovering the wonders of WaterShield water-resistant inkjet media, which add a glossy and eminently professional sheen to photo-quality inkjet-printed discs.
Stephen Nathans-Kelly | "Trash the Dress" has become one of the hottest trends in wedding photography today, and it's beginning to find its way into the wedding videography world as well. Here's a look behind the scenes at what may have been the first-ever videographer-driven Trash the Dress shoot, documenting the travails of a jilted bride on a bone-dry August day in the Nevada desert.
Stephen F. Nathans | Rebecca Mead's One Perfect Day takes on the modern wedding industry and the crass commercialism she claims has overrun it. Because this book has been widely publicized and will be widely read, regardless of its merits, we all need to know what's in it.
