Are you considering hiring a Content Creator for your wedding?
We get it, you maybe want a proper wedding film but wonder about all the bits that don't make it into the final edit. The chat during the morning preps, the funny bits, maybe even the embarrassing bits... There's shots that just don't make it into a final edit for a variety of reasons.
Because of that you want to hire a content creator to capture the things that your wedding film might not contain.
Totally understandable, but you have another option!
1. Are you also wanting a full wedding film?
If you aren't interested in a wedding film then of course a Content Creator might be a great idea for you, but if you want both a wedding film and extra content, well... we can help!
Instead of having another person there on the day filming you with their phone, why not just make best use of what you already have? US! You might even save some money!
After all, we're there with you all day anyway, from preparations right through to the dancing. Plus we always have the best spots for the ceremony itself, and film with multiple pro cameras.
2. Make use of what you already have.
We have an option to any of our packages called the "Raw Footage Docu Edit" and it will fulfil all your needs for the extra content you want to see, without the need for an extra person there on the day.
You see, we film many many (many) hours of footage on the wedding day, and a fair bit of this footage just doesn't make it into your full wedding film (it'd make them very long, which just isn't our thing!).
As we appreciate that some couples would like to see everything we film (including the wobbly bits), then this is where the Raw Footage Docu Edit becomes your very best friend! It really is the ULTIMATE Content Creator option!
This is a single long-form film cut chronologically from all the useable footage on the wedding day from the Bride & Groom preparations, pre-ceremony, reception and dancing parts of the day.
The footage comes in its original form, no music etc, just the original camera sound so you get to hear all the chat (good, and bad!).
There is a slight disclaimer... It’s intended only for your own enjoyment and personal use. If you catch us swearing at ourselves (or each other) by accident.... we’re sorry!
3. So how do I get the 'content' bits?
Without being too film & camera snobby here (we'll try). If we're filming your wedding anyway, then why not have things filmed on a proper camera rather than a phone? There's a reason why the stuff you watch on TV and Netflix isn't shot on a phone*.
Also as filmmakers we see the world like you see it through your eyes, in horizontal landscape. You know, like you watch on your TV.
Sure vertical video is fine for a couple of reels on Insta, but do you want to watch all the great footage from your wedding day on your phone in vertical orientation, or would you prefer to watch it on your TV in 4K in glorious widescreen? Plus you can always turn your phone on it's side to watch our footage in landscape, however it's a bit more difficult to turn your TV on it's side to watch all that phone content 😉
If, like us, you prefer to watch it just as your eyes see it, then this is the right option!
4. See the FULL picture!
* there are a few movies shot on the iPhone. However when you delve into the gear specs, they all use external lenses, tons of light, bespoke rigs and mounts, and record to external capture devices in ProRes format. None of this is part of a usual content creator's arsenal! 😉
To sum up.
We're there anyway, in all the prime spots, with the high-end cameras, lenses, sound equipment, stabilisers etc.
You trust us with our creative eye and impeccable attention to detail.
We don't use a phone.
You don't have another camera pointed at you.
You get to see all the bits we didn't use.
You still get all your usual films, trailer, reels etc.
All in one optional extra that will probably cost less than a content creator anyway.
PLUS You can still get an Instagram reel edited the very next day* to satisfy that urgent wedding craving!
5. No dupes. All sense.
* - an included option in all but one of our packages.
