Wedding Dreams is Karen's second video production for her University of Florida Telecommunications degree.

This project is centers on a girl dreaming about her wedding, and then watching her wedding video. Our friends, Erin and John, starred, and I was the Rabbi. I also shot most of the footage that didn't have me in it and did all of the editing.

A few still shots:

Karen and I were crushed when I captured the footage though; there were finger prints all over the lens all day! Two obnoxious dark spots persist throughout the entire shoot -- one of them at the top right third focal point!.

It looked good in the LCD screen, and I'd physically harm anybody who touched a lens... so I'm not used to checking. My mistake. In Hollywood you check every time, and I check on my photo shoots even though I'm very strict with my lenses. *sigh*

We compensated by making the dream footage look like an old film cliche and color (un)correcting it like there was no tomorrow.

The final project is about 4 minutes in length.

These quick last-minute projects for Karen's class reminds me how much I miss shooting films and working on pieces over 30 seconds in length (don't get me wrong though, commercials are fun and quite challenging!). I really need a quality DV camera. This video was shot on a Canon GL1, the experience was vastly superior to having to use the Canon ZR20 camcorder that I bought in order to record events in life (not video projects).
