The good ole days?? Video


A funny thing happend to me today. As I was burning out editing videos I decided to sneak into my itunes and watch a strongbad podcast. (long story different article) Anyhow, they did a skit on romantic videos.

sooooo

I started to think about the good old days of video. When I used to shoot engagement videos with 3 batteries, a SVHS 1 chip camera and a tripod.

We had this VERY corny skit. It started with the groom walking down a hill. At the bottom the bride would walk towards him. As he past her he could take his eyes off her. The bride would ignore him. No as he was watching her and walking we would usually trip. She always looked back at the last moment.

We then went to a bridge where he would stand on one side and her on the other. Slowly they would look at each other, then move a little closer, then a little more closer , then closer until he made his move and kissed her. yea reall fast movers.

Now the part I remember this afternoon. I would hold hands with the bride and we would twirl in a circle as I video taped. Of course I had to explain to the guys that they had to stay behind me for this to work, then convince them to hold my hand and twirl as I record him. It would finish off with them running towards the camera hand in had.


yikes.
