Super 8 Wedding Films; Something Old, Something New
I recently blogged at Dave Williams Films about the romantic allure of real film productions, specifically Super8 Wedding Films. Ever since I shot backyard films in the 70s, I've always had a special place in my heart for real film. The look, the cadence, and the organic feel of film is often imitated in the digital world but rarely matched.It is cost-prohibitive for many of our clients to produce an entire wedding film with Super 8 or 16mm film so several opt for our 'Film Vignettes', allowing us to pepper our HD video with real film segments.
In the case of Araks and Seth - recent clients of ours - we designed a film for them that included a highlight reel on their DVD made entirely of Super 8 film clips. As a successful designer in New York, Araks simply loved the look of film. Although most of her production was shot in HD as in this trailer, she wanted to be sure we captured the special moments in an artistic and romantic way with film.Labels: HD and Film productions, Wedding Highlights and Recaps

Finally a 8mm clip that I can watch. Great job Dave! Beautiful and complete storytelling. What I loved is it didn't look like a student art film, like others I have viewed lately. The camera work was steady not shaking. I, like you have shot 8mm films from age 8 to age 30 and never had that shaky look. Film is a a classic look and you got it right. Kudos, you impressed me!

Nice work. Great coverage with the super 8. It's refreshing to see someone creating wedding work that isn't conforming to the reality tv style, and stays true to a more cinematic feel.
Best,
Justin
