No no no
They are fine. The wood and warmth of the church lighting compliment the black and white dress of the couple.

Yeah, the grabs look really nice.
I must say that is the best lit altar I've ever seen in a Church.

Re: Some Wedding Grabs
Nice work!
Mind sharing your secrets? What settings do you use, and what (if any) filters on the camera? 30P or 60i?
Beautiful job!

Re: Some Wedding Grabs
Very warm looking. I love that look the DVX gives. I found that any wood style such as oak, if well lit gives a VERY nice look and feel to it.
What did the happy couple think of the video you did for them ? And also if you do not mind me ask what did you charge them to film the wedding.
Nice work btw.

Re: Some Wedding Grabs
For this project I had the camera on the default F5, 24P. Outside I used the WB Preset and indoors I WB to a card...For outdoor stuff, you gotta love the preset.
Gamma: Cine-Like_V
Skin Tone: Off
Matrix: Cine-Like
V Detail: Thick
Obviously it was shot 4:3 and in Progressive
Oh yeah and the whole time at the wedding I didn't realize my Gain was on M and it actually gave it a very nice 16mm look durning the footage...This grainy feel of sorts...It actually looked cool (I think anyway) on all the outdoor and most of the indoor shots as well.
I am going to mess around with gain on some test short films coming up and see if I can accomplish that 16mm look durning outdoor bright shots...Well see..I don't know if you can see it in the pictures???

Re: Some Wedding Grabs
I actually gave these guys a deal..They are friends of my families cousins or something like that. LOL. It was my first wedding, although I have done many other special events..blah..blah..blah.. I didn't do much for them. I didn't wireless mic them, and only had one camera...I charged $500.00, I ususally charge (for special events) around $800-1200. ;D
Thanks for the encouragement, I was nervous about this wedding...I have mono and I usually sleep all the time and Saturday, I was dead. SO being sick didn't help.

Very nice! I have my first 24p wedding this Sat (used to shoot on DVC Pro). I'll post grabs as soon as I can.

Re: Some Wedding Grabs
Dude! Seriously, if the stills are anything like the rest of the video you NEED to charge 3 X what you do!! Seriously, most wedding videographers I know would sell their first born for footage that looks that good!

Yeah, but with one camera, that limits what you could charge. I always use three, but my problem is only one is a DVX100, so I can't do the film look thing.
By the way, very nice grabs. The lighting on the bride and groom is tremendous - almost looks like it was in a studio.

Re: Some Wedding Grabs
I think you can do the film look with one camera and do a video look for the others...A lot of TV shows and other reality shows are doing this now and I personally think it looks great. We did a project last year where we mixed 24p and 60i and it looked absolutely fantastic...gives your video a unique professional feel..i would try some tests.

Re: Some Wedding Grabs
I have been contemplating this very same thing... For weddings, I have been using an interesting combination (DVX100A, DVC200, and VX2000). I sold one of my Sony's before purchasing the DVX. Regardless, I have been shooting everything 60i to match.
I am begining to wonder if matching is really the best thing to do all the time. Some things I have considered: Shooting 60i for the ceremony, but changing to 24P for the Precerem/Reception footage. I believe those sections could be intercut with standard 60i and just create an interesting change in feel between shots. Since I find that I typically use 75-80% of my shots (I operate the DVX and DVC), I'd have a lot of consistency regardless.
Another consideration was to run the DVC and VX2000 footage through DVFilmaker to convert to 24P. I still have not had the time to give it a good test yet.
I must say though, your frame grabs have made me consider a progressive mix more seriously...even if I wimp out and go 30P.
