In order to push my production quality up to the next level, I enlisted the help of the most famous and arguably the best wedding cinematographers in the world, Still Motion.
They are revered as the masters and the whole of this industry strives to match their level of excellence. Personally I admire their work and believe some of their pieces to be ground breaking and utterly amazing. But there are other wedding cinematographers out there who can convey equally powerful work through different production styles. I take inspiration from quite a number of different artists.
That said, I was very interested to hear Still Motions take on my work so I took advantage of their ‘clip review’ service and sent them this clip:-
While they spoke quite highly of the composition, saying it was ‘very solid’ and that I had ‘a very good visual sense and all round high production value’ they had a lot of constructive criticism which I am very pleased to receive. Mostly my friends and clients have only nice things to say (thank God) but to have my work slated by a very accomplished professional is just what I needed.
I feel I have learned a lot about screen direction and colour grading and need to get into the habit of using slide shots and colour effects in a more creative and cohesive way instead of just making stuff look cool.
I found there clip review service to be very worth while and worth the money but while I will definitely take all of their advice on board and it will certainly improve my work, everyone has his own particular style and to follow their advice to the letter would turn me into a ’still motion’ wanna be instead of just myself.
