As an experienced wedding videographer and editor (since 2000) I found this video to be somewhat basic. There are some very good lessons for newbies, but if you know to cut between certain focal lengths and edit to music, you may find 3-4 things you didn't already know about hidden away in this DVD, but not much more. I took away maybe two solid techniques I *may* begin to incorporate. NOTE* This DVD teaches how to do "stylized" edits as opposed to "journalistic". I prefer and find most of my clients prefer journalistic, but that is very much up to the videographers/editors style and the clients preference.
I've been a wedding videographer for over 7 years now and found this DVD to be helpful in getting a few new ideas. Although Picture This' style is much different than mine, it has definitely made me think of the possibilities. I suggest this DVD for videographers who employ the "cinematic" shooting style VS the "journalistic" or want to learn more about cinematic style shooting, which is very different from journalistic shooting styles...
I've shot wedding video since 2000 and found this DVD particularly rewarding. I learned a lot! The couple really goes out of their way to show you how they stage certain shots and how/what they use to get those incredible movie like crane shoots for example...it's amazing how good a handheld shot can look once slowed down, which is their real trick. All handheld work turns to butter when put to slow motion. In this DVD you can expect some exercises to help you do handheld work as well as learn how they use their tools to produce the results they show. Very useful DVD IMHO.
This video is nothing more than a 7 minute commercial for the training in Tulsa, OK - and not a very good commercial either. It comes with a few printed pages of pretty useful information for a beginner, but to the experienced folks out there don't bother!
