Elizabeth + Seamus // Over the moon proud

This trailer took me ages!  I think the main reason for this was Elizabeth’s music choice.  Such an emotional piece requires a special kind of edit.  I tried to match the emotional climax of the piece with the pace of the cutting and the imagery.  Elizabeth and Seamus’ ceremony was such a beautiful one that this had to be the main feature.  Such a powerful atmosphere was conjured on the day that only this piece of music re-kindle it.  I synced my favourite shot of the day (a greeting between friends captured over the shoulders of others) with the songs peak, boosted the volume of the music at this point and built the rest of the story around that.

    It might have taken ages but you certainly did a nice job! The edit is really good and flows well with the music choice. Its great!

    This is one of the most amazing wedding videos I have ever seen. I can’t believe it’s like an actual movie! Really well done – it made me cry more than I did on the day!

    Very nice trailer! I know what it’s like to spend ages on a trailer having made quite a few in my time. I really enjoyed watching a preview of Elizabeth’s big day and I felt the quality of video along with the editing was on par with film and TV. The music also fitted perfectly in the background (as you say it’s very emotional) and I also enjoyed the subtle transitions and effects, especially at the beginning.
