The few wedding videos that survive even from our parents' eras are almost unrecognizable, once you've seen the quality of modern products! Almost exclusively silent, shot on grainy, jumpy 8mm or 16mm film, and usually in black and white, these wedding videos had a lot of charm ... but tended to feel a little less real than the wedding videos in Sydney available today. Today we take a quick tour of the past, the present and future of wedding videos in Sydney, to help you appreciate the quality of your own special day's DVD.
In the 80s...
As legwarmers, short ruffled rah-rah wedding dresses and crimped hairstyles for the bride became completely normal, the first consumer camcorders came onto the market, and wedding videos in Sydney started to become a little more common. The relative scarcity of good-quality video equipment (like that used by news crews) meant that professional wedding videos in Sydney were beyond the budget of most.
This meant that colour saturation was poor, the lighting required to get a decent picture was very bright (instant mood-killer!), and the microphones included with the camera were low quality.
In the 90s ...
The 1990s saw digital camcorders becoming available to the public...but by that time, truly high quality equipment for wedding videos in Sydney was available to people that were actually trained in shooting, editing and mastering video! The wedding video industry in Sydney was born.
In the noughties ...
Video is a matured technology, and as a whole the industry for wedding videos in Sydney has mirrored that change! This means that your wedding video in Sydney will have:
- Beautiful true-to-life colour
- Clear spoken audio
- Crisp sound overdubs
- High resolution
- Smooth movement
In the future ...
Perhaps we'll see Star Wars style holographic projections of the bride and groom making their vows at the altar in wedding 'videos' in Sydney! More likely, there will be further improvements in sound, colour and resolution, further ability to enhance and add effects to the videos after they have been shot, and improvements in the life-cycle of storage media.
One thing to keep in mind if you'll be having a wedding video in Sydney shot soon, is that storage media can become outdated without you even realizing. Make a note in your planner every year to have your wedding video transferred to an updated media. Imagine if your wedding video in Sydney now existed on a 3.5 inch floppy disk or a Beta cassette ... it would be trapped in the past forever! And given the beautiful quality of wedding videos in Sydney nowadays, which would be a real shame.
