Re: Another Dave B Video.. Can't Post

Dave,
I love it!!! Man, very unique and very fun to watch. I'm sure your clients are so happy to have this kind of video. I wish I could have clients like that - just anything goes. I've seen all your videos everytime you post it here.... and it's a different kind of video that is always fun to watch - not the usual mushy stuff. This is truly one good style of editing that we should try...
Great job... very good work.

thx.. [In reply to] Can't Post

thanks Kiwi and Judy
btw, I like the CGI work. I decided to never get into it and stay a fan. My head can only take so much learning and that's where I drew the line. I don't try to figure it out, I just admire good CGI work :)
Also, my work isn't for everyone and like Jack a s s, don't try this at home :). Only certain couples want the style of video that I do.
For me and my business, It's the old field of dreams. Build it and they will come. I offer a different style of video and 'they come'. I know I attract a number of people who never considered video before seeing what I offer.
In fact, the bride from this video told me that she would of gone without flowers to have me. That was pretty cool..anyhow
I just wanted to say, be true to your style and passionate about your work and the laws of nature will do the rest. Me, I am a bohemian :) and will probably always be over worked and underpaid :))

Great work Dave. Really enjoyed it! I smiled when the bride was getting all those hugs when the song was singing "like you" over and over.
I liked your use of soft focus/blur.

I`m sorry I don`t reply to all your demo posts, but I`m not sorry that I check them all out.
One bride offering to go without flowers, another changing her date to suit you.
Keep it up Dave, your truly an inspiration

Re: thx..to Dave [In reply to] Can't Post

Wow Dave, I always smile when I watch your videos.
You have spoken some powerful words, "my work isn't for
everyone".....
Thank you for saying that.
Some videographers would see your work and say,
"oh my brides would never go for that".
Again more words of wisdom (from you) "build it and they
will come."
For beginners or those in a rut.
Don't chase them, have them chase you.
ANd they will and they'll pay.
But you have to offer something DIFFERENT, CREATIVE,
FUN, like Dave does.
And don't you notice how Dave's way of shooting and editing,
allows you to actually "feel" the personality of his clients?
I do.
I do understand that in some shots he "sets them up",
but it's not your typical boring, "look this way, now look at each other, now kiss, now hold it shots."
This "voyeuristic" way of shooting allows for their true
personality to shine through.
Thank you again Dave for sharing with us,
your work shows your own passionate personality.
And that by itself is not for everyone lol, but
you give some folks courage to "step outside the box".
Keep sharing,
It's much appreciated,
Terry T.

Re: Another Dave B Video.. [In reply to] Can't Post

DAMN!
...I humbly bow in the presence of a truly cutting edge editor.
Dave, as usual, I am thoroughly impressed.....!
Just curious -- who picked the tune??
Also>> The ending sequcne and the last shot looks like a PERFECT was to introduce a DVD menu! Have the video you showed us play as the first play, and then the last shot comes up with the main DVD menu for "the rest".VERY COOL!

Ditto. I don't know what you're getting paid, Dave, but it's not enough. But hey, you're having fun, eh ;) And I'm sure your clients will be blown away by this. Great stuff.

I thought the same thing but what happens is it leads into the photo montage of the couple growing up. The first picture replaces the one in the frame. One day, I will encode a menu to show, or better yet send you a full DVD to check out:)

Re: Thanks Dave Z [In reply to] Can't Post

The lead in to the phot montage is equally great idea.....
Yes, cool tune! Has the B&G seen the finished product yet?? I wonder if they realize that they may be getting their video done by a future famous producer!! <grin>

I spotted some old film look, was quick but effective. But what I really liked is how you had put in the click of the camera to go along with the pic at the end. Nice :) Of course there was a ton of neat stuff but really liked that ending.
I thought I was hearing Rolling Stones, I guess they get flattered when other famous groups copy their style.

Thank, The song came in post. In fact, it wasn't even what I planned to do in post. Sometimes, I get bored and take a song I like and start editing for fun. Its a form of therapy for me :)Some people go for a ride...shoot guns, smoke crack, I edit freestyle to release stress...and This edit has been very stressful. I needed "therapy" so I grabbed the song, laid it down, and really got into it. After it was done, I was like,, s#%t..this isn't bad, I like it :) ...BUT.. this is not like any of the music the couple asked for :(. They had a bunch of country music that they provided. So, I was a little worried about what the couple would say and wasn't sure what to do.. Keep in mind, I never meant to get so 'into it'.I was only fooling around for a bit, but I got more and more into it and the da mn thing developed a life of its own...I was half worried that they may not like it..only half because they have loved everything I have ever shown them. They had trust in me, which I find a lot of my clients do. Even so, this wasn't planned. Cool eh..
oh..here was the brides response.. I sent her an email expressing my concerns that she may not like the song but how fitting I thought it was
her reply "The wedding clip is wonderful...I quite enjoy the music! " so cool, weird eh. Probably not the response you expected, was it :)

Thanks Bill, but that click at the end wasn't something I added, it just how the song goes :)

Re: Another Dave B Video.. [In reply to] Can't Post

I finally got to see this. I always enjoy your work. Someday I'd love to come, peek over your shoulder and ask questions while you have a little therapy session - until you tell me to shut up. I have too many to ask here - they all start with "how'd you do that"
Thanks for sharing.
