    Posted on by azure in Recent News | No Comments

    If a new bride could tell someone who is currently planning their wedding just one thing or give them one piece of advice while they decide what professional wedding services are in their wedding budget, what do you think it would be? “Make sure you reserve your venue well in advance”? “Make sure you actually attend a cake tasting so you know what you are going to get”? “Don’t go through it at all”? No! According to a 2005 survey commissioned by the Wedding & Event Videographers Association, 98 per cent of newlyweds would tell those first-time brides to hire a professional wedding videographer.

    (image from: http://lesstroud.ca/survivorman/episodes.php) If you’ve ever watched Survivorman and thought “I could do that”, then why not make your own Survivorman-style videos this summer on your annual camping trip? Survivorman is a show created by Les Stroud, who goes into the wilderness and demonstrates how to survive in any part of the world.

    (image credits: http://www.motu.com/video-products) The RED camera is a high performance digital camera that offers the same quality as 35mm film. It allows the shooting of professional-looking films without the budget one would normally require, allowing anyone with a spare $25,000 to become a movie maker. The camera is produced by the Red Digital Cinema Camera Company and allows for the same depth of field and angle of view as 35 mm because of the size of its CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor, which is called The Mysterium. The first Red camera introduced in 2006 was called the Red One and it weighs only 10 pounds. The Red camera’s Mysterium offers 4520 x 2540 pixels and an over 66db signal to noise ratio, while the camera has a high quality 4k capture. Films and Reception In the UK, one very low-budget film called Skyline, a massive alien invasion epic, was filmed …
