What other technical factors should we be a ware of when choosing a wedding video service?
First, a professional video company will use “industrial” (also called “commercial”) equipment, as opposed to consumer-level equipment. This includes camera, recorders, tripods, and editing/duplicating systems. The ceremony should always be recorded using a fluid head tripod, which allows the camera to move smoothly and eliminates the distracting jitters and jumps seen on amateur tapes. The videographer should have a camera-mounted video light for use at the reception. (This can make a significant difference in video quality.) We use a 30 watt light; a brighter light will irritate guests.
