Lighting plays an important role when it comes to creating high quality wedding videos. In fact, experienced Dallas wedding video companies will tell you it’s what makes or breaks a wedding video. Without the right kind of lighting equipment, the video will look grainy, dark and full of shadows.

On the other hand, an experienced wedding videographer realizes he can’t change existing lighting conditions, so he brings the right kind of lighting equipment to improve it. The result is a wedding video that is shot with crisp images and vibrant colors, making it enjoyable to watch over and over again.

Set the Mood of Your Wedding Videos

One of the reasons why lighting is important is that it helps set the mood of the entire wedding. With the right kind of lighting equipment, an experienced wedding videographer can make your wedding video look fun, solemn, or romantic, depending on your taste.

Radiant Looking Close Ups

The lighting inside most wedding venues can cause shadows to cast underneath your eyes, giving you those unwanted dark circles. Definitely not something you’d want during those close up shots. An experienced wedding videographer can bring in the right kind of lighting equipment and put them in strategic parts of the venue so that these dark circles don’t show up in your finished wedding video.

See Everyone in the Wedding Video

This is very important if you’re having an indoor wedding. The layout of the venue and its existing lighting fixtures can create shadows in some areas. It may not really be a problem during the wedding day. But, it’s a completely different story in the wedding video. Without the proper lighting equipment, these areas will be so dark that it’s impossible to see who was sitting there.

Getting an experienced videographer who understands the importance of lighting will make sure that none of your guests are sitting in the shadows. So you don’t have to worry about friends and relatives getting offended when they come and watch the wedding video with you.

Making Natural Lighting Friendly to the Eyes

If you’re having an outdoor wedding, you have the sun at your back, creating a silhouette. Wedding videographers that have done a lot of outdoor wedding videos already anticipate this. They know how to compensate in order to get the lighting on your face perfect.

If you want quality corporate videos to use for your business, then you need to find the right videographer in Dallas for the job.

Finding a videographer is not hard since there are so many of them out there. The tricky part is weeding out the good ones from the bad. After all, the last thing you’d want is to pay a company for their videography services and then end up with a video that’s way below your expectations.

Here are some things to consider to make sure that you find the right videographer to produce your Dallas corporate videos:

A qualified videographer has experience.

One of the first things to check when choosing a company offering videography services is their material. This will give you an idea of the kinds of clients they have served, and the quality of the videos that they will eventually provide you. The examples may be private so ask to see them.

A qualified videographer asks questions.

As a business owner, it’s expected that you may not be able to properly explain the kind of video your company needs. This is something that an experienced videographer understands very well. Before even committing to creating your Dallas corporate videos, a highly qualified videographer would ask a lot of questions to make sure that you’re on the same wavelength. Some of the things that an expert videographer may ask you are:

• Who is the target audience for the videos you plan to make?
• What is the main objective for creating the corporate video?
• What is the message that you would like your target audience to get?
• Where will these videos be shown?

A videographer in Dallas that has extensive experience in creating corporate videos is able to not only ask the right questions to make sure that the final video is exactly what your business needs. He or she would also tell you immediately whether the video you have in mind will be feasible based on the information that you give them. More important, an experienced videographer will be bold enough to offer suggestions to you, especially when it comes to meeting your deadline and budget.

A qualified videographer can see the bigger picture.

Only an experienced videographer will be able to see potential problems and hurdles that will come along the way when creating your videos as early as your first meeting. At the same time, he or she would be able to provide you with solutions on how to overcome these so that the video will come out just as you have expected.

Next weekend is the Dallas Bridal Show 2011. If this will be your first bridal show in Dallas, check out 5 bridal show tips from LeniCam Video Productions, a DFW wedding videographer.

1. Figure out your entire wedding budget before you go. Then list the wedding services, such as a DFW wedding videographer, that you both want to have. Assign a tentative budget for each service so when you visit vendors at the bridal show in Dallas you can easily pass over the services that cost more than your estimated budget.
2. Bring your own canvas bag or a backpack to the show.  Have your friend or family member carry one bag and you carry another one. Put materials from the companies you are actually interested in into your bag and put everything else in your friend’s bag. This will make sorting through materials much easier when you get home.
3. Consider making business cards or stickers that have your contact information and key details about the wedding such as time, date and venue. If a vendor is not available on your date, keep walking!
4. If you’ve already purchased your dress, skip the fashion show and instead spend time talking to vendors that will be available to answer your questions one on one. You may even be able to negotiate a special deal.
5. Follow up with vendors ASAP, since other brides will be booking their services, not just you.  It’s also easier to remember which companies you clicked with right after the bridal show in Dallas.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Dallas Bridal Show 2011. For more information about DFW wedding videographers please call us at 972-378-0446 or email info@lenicam.com

One criteria many couples use to search for their DFW wedding videographer is their number of awards.
Dallas wedding videos can range from very cheap to extravagent, depending on which DFW wedding videographer you choose. Comparison websites that display your options side by side seem helpful but they aren’t telling the whole story.

Awards Dallas Wedding Videographers Receive

First, many awards can be bought. That’s right, some companies are cheating by paying a price to enter their video
in a ‘competition’ they are probably guaranteed to win. It’s hard to tell which awards Dallas wedding videos are receiving honestly and which ones are simply being paid for by the companies themselves.

Also, find out how old the award is. If it’s not within the past 5 years, don’t factor it into your decision making
process. The company could have changed artistic direction a lot since the award and the original professional who shot
and edited the film may not even work there anymore.

Overall, don’t arbitrarily choose the company for your Dallas wedding video based on only one criteria such as number of
awards. Take the time to think through exactly what is important to you.

There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding, but don’t put picking the videographer on the back burner. Here is a wedding videographer checklist that can help you evaluate which videographer is right for you.

Wedding Videographer Checklist

Wedding Videographer Checklist

- How long have they been in business?

You don’t want somebody that just picked up their flip camera and is giving it a try. Experience is a must.
- Do they offer Blue Ray and HD DVDs?

Since the trend is going towards HD, a good videographer will have both HD cameras and the ability to create DVDs in HD and Blue Ray formats.

- Do they have multiple cameras/angles?

Depending on your budget you may want to opt for multiple cameras and therefore multiple angles, which will make the video more interesting.

- How is the sound on the videos?
Sometimes slow motion, sappy songs and fancy transitions can mask a fundamental problem: the videographer didn’t capture what was heard. A professional wedding videographer will have wireless microphones on at least the officiant and groom as well as a direct feed from any music sources.

- Do they have recommendations or testimonials?

Look on their website or email them directly to get testimonials from other couples. You want the videographer to be the expert and take care of all the technical details but also connect with you and understand what you want your wedding video to be.
Not every company is the same, and hopefully using this wedding videographer checklist you can decide which one will be the best fit for you. For information about awards Dallas videographers receive and how you should factor them into your decision making check out this blog post.

If you’re considering having your Dallas wedding video professionally recorded, but you’re afraid you can’t justify the expense, read on for all the advantages of professional videography. There are a lot of people who say they can’t see spending the money on a video of their wedding day when they’re sure they’ll only watch it once or twice before setting it aside, forgotten. According to many customers who have made the investment, they couldn’t be farther from the truth – their videos are priceless family heirlooms.

The people who can’t justify the expense say that they could have a friend or family member record the video for them. Hand held cameras are relatively inexpensive and record high quality video these days, and just about everyone has one. Why not save the money and let your friend record the video? This might work for an extremely small ceremony, but for most weddings you would need a professional for the high quality you want. There are a variety of reasons that hand held cameras and hobbyists aren’t capable of doing justice to the average wedding.

The first reason is audio quality. A hand held camera only has one audio source – the microphone on the camera itself. Professional equipment can pull from multiple audio sources – usually small, wireless, high quality microphones placed inconspicuously on the officiant, the groom and throughout the room near important audio that you will want captured. This allows the videographer to capture every word of the vows, every word the officiant says and the music of the ceremony clearly so that it translates beautifully to your video.

Another reason is lighting. Often, hobbyists don’t know much about lighting, and aren’t equipped to work with the lighting they have or provide light of their own. A professional, on the other hand will know how to work with the lighting conditions they’re given and be prepared, if needed, to provide their own lighting to ensure that the shots come out beautifully.

Probably the biggest reason to hire a professional, however, is production. An amateur will simply hand you the disc they used to record the proceedings. A professional will have the equipment to go to their studio and spend hours editing and forming the final video into something more than simply a document of the wedding. They can add special soundtracks, use special effects to highlight certain parts and stitch the video together in a coherent story. You’ll have more than a document of your wedding, you’ll have a one of a kind work of art made specifically to commemorate your wedding day that way it should be. Your Dallas wedding videos will become more than a documentary; they’ll be a priceless family heirloom to pass to generations coming.
