Hey bill,
I watched the video you posted last night and this is what I thought:
I felt that the editing was very good, well cut and fantastic use of audio. As always, you do a good job telling the story of the family and couple. Where I think it fell short was in the length. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but it was hard to watch the full hour. Not because the editing was bad or the shot selection was poor, but it felt like it took forever to get going. If I remember correctly, it was about 30 minutes in when you finally got to the ceremony. I feel like you should really cut that down to about 10 or 15 minutes in. Of course this presents problems with telling the story but I really think you could shorten the entire edit by at least 15 minutes. While there is no doubt in my mind that the family totally loved that video, as an outsider it was difficult to stay focused. This is actually something I have been struggling with. As an artist I want to make the best videos possible. However, there are a lot of shots and audio that I leave in the edit that are not very artistic but instead mean something to the client and the client alone. I think it's a fine balance we have to walk. Providing a very well edited and cutting edge video but at the same time leaving in things that he client will truly cherish even if they may not make sense or be watchable to others.
BTW, that bride looks like a totally different person during her interview than on her wedding day. I want to say its the hair style. Very interesting.
