What would U like on your wedding DVD?

Question

I'm breaking off from my business partner and starting my own wedding video business. I want to aim at a younger crowd. (20's and some modern early 30's).

What would make you say WOW! if you saw it on your video.

EXAMPLE: I scan the wedding invitation and have it scroll up the screen with a stylish animated background. The invitation is narrated by a woman with a sensitive, loving voice.

Here are some starter questions/ comments:

How long of a video will you sit through and watch more than a couple of times(remember it's your Wedding)?

I'm scrapping talking head guest interviews-is it a mistake?

I've gone to 16X9 screen size (movie shape). If you felt I was too expensive would you settle for a cheaper package at 4x3 size (old TV shape)?

Most video packages go for $1,200 to $3,000. What you consider too high of a package price?

Two cameras with more to see, or one camera with a stylish highlight type video?

Answer 1

I probably wont be too much help but some of the videographers in our area do highlight reels at the end of the reception that I think is neat. They also do music videos that I REALLY want. I also want the head guest interviews, so I wouldn't scrap that. I think it will be cool to look back on and hear what people say to us even if they all say the same "Congratulations" speech. I probably wouldn't pay $3000+ for the video.  

Answer 2

I dont have a lot to say except DONT do the sensitive loving ladies voice!!!! That sounds soooo much like stuff we make fun of the 80's for.You know, like poofy sleeves on wedding gowns and brides wearing hats. No offense to anyone who wore that, but you know what I'm saying.
