For those of you whom are still trying to decide whether or not to use an outside vendor for your video services, please read the response below.
I booked Stan (STVS) services some time ago, but after reading a thread from a very disappointed Disney bride regarding her Disney Wedding Video I decided to email Stan with a question regarding the 2 cameras & angles that come with his packages...... see below
I said:
"Switching gears, I would like to confirm that you actually do try to capture the 'main moments' and 'special moments' alike? From your demo videos, it seem as you don't miss a wink, however, I've been in recent conversations with some very disappointed Disney brides, as their ceremony included some very special moments that weren't captured by their vendor/Disney.
So, I would like to ask you:
1. Does your 2 camera ceremony coverage, actual mean that you will get different angles of different spots (including us and our guests)?
2. Or does it mean that we will get 2 camera coverages on the same spot (just us)?
Thanks in advance for the clarification."

Hi Michele,
The problem with Disney video is that they are using one minimum wage technical person to operate 3 robotic cameras and a video switcher. One person cant do all of that very well.
That being said, weather it is Sunset Pointe or the Wedding Pavilion, I get shots of the two of you, your guests, parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen. Camera two, in the back is meant to get close-ups of the both of you, wide shots of everyone walking down the aisle, plus medium shots, etc from the back.
The reason I dont use a tripod for my camera is that Im always looking for something emotional happening with the guests, i.e. parents crying etc. To get those shots I may have to move a foot to the left and quickly zoom in and focus in a matter of a few seconds. I cant do that with a tripod.
What it comes down to is that I worked for FOX Television in Sacramento California for 25 years as an editor and cameraman, and Ive had the wedding video business for 20 years. I only do 80 weddings a year, not 2000. I hope it shows.
Do you think it would be helpful for brides to see a full length ceremony on my website. I think that would definitely help answer all of their concerns.
Talk to you soon!
Stan
