You will be glad you tuned in today! I’m going to let you in on the latest thing in wedding videos! There’s this new technology that’s out, you will find it used in only the most exclusive wedding videos. Kevin Costner made sure they used it when they made his video! Well, what’s the secret? Instead of using the old fashion videotape, they are using something called “film,” motion picture film to be exact. This film is special; it’s 8mm wide and has perforations on the side so it can feed through the camera. The cameras to use this film are very rare. Wow, I’m glad I live in the 21st century!
What? What do you mean? This has been around since the ‘60s! That’s right, like most of you over the age of 35 know (including me). The film I’m talking about is Super 8. The shaky, fuzzy, film we remember as kids. The same film we were glad to see go in the ‘80s when VHS and Beta-vision videotapes came out. But they are making a comeback! Nostalgia is in! You’ve probably seen some people shoot wedding photography in black & white to get that romantic feel. Now, that’s been taken one step further, many of the top wedding video companies are incorporating Super 8 into their production.
For some amazing examples of the use of Super 8 in wedding videos and to see a clip from Kevin Costner’s wedding, check out Docuvitae’s website, Docuvitae is a photographer and video company located in Los Angeles. They use a combination of vintage and modern cameras to get the amazing affect.
