                   Providing wedding videos, throughout Australia, since 1984, . and still loving it!

 

*Coverage    Usually up to 12 hours on the day and heaps of time afterwards – your choice- Middle Package

Bride’s Preparation - we usually start approximately 2 hours before the ceremony time.

Groom’s Preparation - while the Bride is getting dressed we usually go to the Groom’s Preparation.

Then, go back to the Bride’s preparation – the wedding dress on and the emotions are running high.

If there is insufficient time for the above we usually swap the starting scene to the Groom’s Preparation, then we go to the Bride’s Preparation till just before the Bride leaves home.

Another alternative is to go to the Bride’s Preparation and then catch the Groom at the Ceremony.

Ceremony happy & excited Guests arriving, anxious Groom – did they forget the rings?

Bride’s arrival in style and elegance, a relieved Groom, entrance of the Bride, the ceremony itself showing the formality of the occasion– the readers using directional microphones, vows using radio microphones where possible, the signing, musicians , etc., followed by guest congratulations.

Photo shoot  - creative, beautiful & romantic shots put together with background music. The tension has been released and Bridal Party is extremely happy & relaxed – a mixture of detailed beauty and fun.

Receptionshots of the venue before the entrance of the guests and the Guests mingling before the B & G’s entrance (if possible),  entrance of the Bridal Party, shots guests mingling – happy faces - guests really enjoying themselves, with background music ( to cut out the room noise of chatter), the speeches using radio microphones and the Bridal Waltz using radio microphones (if possible), the dancing & romancing that follows with all of your guests – your loving feeling spills out to others – it seems like everyone is in love, the garter throwing, the bouquet, the circle and finally your leaving for your honeymoon night.

 

 

*Demos        View our Web Site for short demos (NB: they take a while to download) OR view actual weddings in the comfort of our air-conditioned studio  24/7. Please phone for an appointment. Chances are we’ll be able to show you a wedding that took place at your venues, with your celebrant, singer/disco, etc.

 

 

*DVDs         Designed to last 100 years but can be ruined by a simple scratch. We urge you to “back-up” your disks.

DVD machines are only required to play “Replicated” disks, such as “Hollywood” Movies available from commercial DVD hire stores. To order this type of disk creation you need a minimum order of around 1000 copies of each disk. This can be done, but is costly and must be specially ordered.  Morrow Video, like all other Wedding DVD manufacturers, provides “Duplicated” or so called “Burnt” disks such as  DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL (DVD-R unless specifically requested). Burnt disks are created/burnt using Computers or DVD recorders. This is the more affordable option. Similar to burnt CDs, burnt DVDs  play on some DVD players only and may not play properly all the time (No refunds – check your DVD handbook or our samples). Some machines will only play properly certain brands of disks or  low quality recorded disks. Also, if your laser is on the way out, some machines may “freeze up” or “skip”.

 

*Editing       Our packages vary depending on the amount of time covered on your wedding day & editing afterwards. 

Wedding Day Coverage is designed to keeps prices low. Coverage time up to 8 hours, the video is shot using an “unobtrusive” style which requires minimal editing.

Our Middle Package is designed so that the camera operator can capture almost “everything” and the editor has choices to make after the event – eg. Which shot is better, rather than the standard shot must be used. (usually 36+ hours editing). The camera operator doesn’t have to be cautious, always on a tripod – he can be mobile, move easily to get the best shots and best sound and avoid blocking other’s view. The operator can experiment, be creative, exceptional shots are encouraged – the editor will make a master piece out of it, later.

Extensive Editing allows other styles such as “Personality” and “Artistic” Styles. Your DVD  will be end up more than an excellent record, but as a work of art and very personal.  You’ll be able to truly re-live the excitement, beauty,  romance, formality, the feelings that your guests held just for you as well as your feelings on your special day, your wedding day.

                        The Middle Package may include your wedding invitation, growing-up or recent photos of the Bride & Groom, a thankyou list, special effects, your choice of CD music ( usually around 10 tracks), or we can choose for you, highlights (optional Extra), photo gallery (optional Extra) and of course creation of DVDs & CDs.

NB: Photos, titles & music must be provided before the wedding so that your DVD can be available ASAP after your wedding, usually one week.

                        The goal of editing is to “Spruce up” the video. Editing also can make the video “shorter” and “sharper” thus improving your DVD quality. You may delete non-essential shots, add effects & otherwise modify video information. It improves the audio by switching between sources, microphones & CD music, adding audio effects, EQ effects, blending, etc. Editing helps the movie to flow (music helps a lot too), it keeps the audience with you, entertained, crying or happy.

If you would like to be present when we edit your Wedding, you’re welcome, but conditions apply - we must be notified at least 2 weeks prior wedding date, when an editing appointment will be arranged.

 

 

*Equipment   The equipment we use is constantly being updated. Television cameras give gutsier pictures (better signal to noise ratio), sharper pictures (eg. more detail in the wedding gown), truer colours ( skin tones are more accurate) and far superior low light performance (if you can see it, we can record it. Although, obviously the more light you have the better the picture quality).  Directional and radio microphones give clearer sound. Dedicated editing computers give Morrow Video our excellent results.

 

 

*Experience Morrow Video clients have included BHP, One Steel, Reedrill, Boral, Delnorth Internation, McDonalds, Freight Rail, Sydney Airport, Trenchmaster, Ezy Drive, Engineers Australia, Channel Ten, Channel Nine and many more.

Recording weddings since 1984, Morrow Video Productions has recorder over 1500 weddings, including many of the Knight’s former footballers such as “Footy Show” host Paul & Pamela Harrigan. We have a “Thankyou album” if you would like to check some out – or come to our studio and pick any DVD at random.

Because of Morrow Video’s experience (equipment and personnel) we usually obtain the best possible pictures and sound under the circumstances – eg. If you have the lights out or dimmed in the venue we will video using available light only (unless you request otherwise – NB: we  can advise on the best site for speeches, etc. so we make the most of available light & utilise the best sound sources where available) - it’s your day and you’re No:1. Remember you can check out other weddings we’ve shot in the same venues.

 

 

*Ethics          We care, enjoy what we do and take pride in our achievements. We value customer satisfaction and we hope you’ll recommend us to your friends.

 

 

*Fun             We want you to remember your wedding day as one of the best, if not the best day of your life. You & all your guests have a great time… a fun and enjoyable time. If  Morrow Video can help, in any way, we will. You’ll remember the fun and unique times. They say a picture tells a thousand words, well then , your Wedding DVD  will become one of your most treasured possessions.

 

 

*Guarantee Our Quality is guaranteed

 

 

*Guidance   The videographer is usually the professional who spends the most time with the Bride & Groom  on the day and with over 1500 weddings, our experience can guide you with the many questions you may have regarding weddings.

 

 

*Highlights 5-30 minutes –your choice of duration. We spend another day on your wedding reducing the Highlights size down to your requested length. Our aim to get as much as possible into a small space. Some friends may not want to watch the full version. Highlights usually involves a “Movie” Style – all put to music with special effects. However it can involve just reducing the length of your video - for example we may reduce the speakers down to one or two sentences - just to get the crux of their speech – it’s up to you.

 

*Hint             Treating the camera operator as one of your guests and seating the camera operator with your guests helps enormously. If you are seen to highly value the presence of the camera operator, then your guests feel encouraged to do likewise and this is reflected on your Wedding DVD.

 

 

*Photo Gallery       Video still frames are held usually for 4 seconds each. Each still is dissolved to the next. Your choice of background music can be added. This becomes a photo gallery similar to a photo album but put onto DVD with stills off the video.  The quality is not as good as photographs and the stills will not be the same as your photographer’s photos. The stills are edited on computer, to improve their quality, before being placed in the “photo gallery”. Duration of the stills can be changed.

 

 

*Photos off DVD   The Photo Gallery can be put onto CD as an optional extra.

 

 

*Product      Our product will be completed ASAP, usually within one week. You will receive 4 sets of personally labelled DVD-R disks encased in a plastic DVD case holder, fitted with a personalised cover page with stills off your video. NB Unedited package only include Mini DV masters. 

 

 

*Staff             All our staff are very experienced. As at this date of publication all our staff  have videotaped hundreds of weddings. The camera operator counts most – if you don’t get the shots in the first place then the editor has nothing to work with later. Our staff are also reliable, however, we do have back-up staff and back-up equipment available should the unthinkable happen.

 

 

*Styles           We realise everyone is different and you may like a different style, technique or what ever. If we don’t already provide this, let us know or show us and we will do our utmost to provide this.
Check out our “Unobtrusive”, “Snappy”and “Personality” styles.
