The traditional wedding scene has
changed little over the years. Besides the
bride and groom, it usually includes the
church or hall, guests, clergyman and
justice of the peace and the infamous
photographer clicking away during the
ceremony.
Today, however, many weddings include
a relative newcomer - a videographer.
That's a person who videotapes the
proceedings. And with portable home
video gear it’s easy enough for almost
anyone to do.
“Today's portable video decks and
cameras are lightweight, easy to use,
quiet and rquire no special lighting,” says
Richard B. Williams, marketing manager
for General Electric's Video Products
Division. ‘As aresult, it’s a perfect way to
capture the ‘live’ feel of a wedding without
being obtrusive.’
Previously, the only means of capturing
the ‘‘live” feel of a wedding was with a
home movie camera. But home movies
were never really practical for events like
weddings, Williams comments.
“Filming a home movie during a
wedding ceremony tends to be disruptive
because it requires additional lighting,
and the camera itself can be noisy,” he
says.
Aside from weddings, portable video
equipment is perfect for recording
everything from vacation highlights to the
kids’ little league games.
But what about cost? True, a video
camera and VCR are more expensive than
a movie camera and projector. But in the
long run, savings from video can be sub-
stantial compared to movie film.
A study’ by the GE Video Products
Division estimates that six hours of home
movie film, including processing, can run
between $1,200 and $1,400. And the user
must find room to store about 120 cans of
50-foot film. One six-hour videotape
cassette, on the other hand, costs an
average of only $15 to $18. And it can be
reused indefinitely, if desired.
Today’s video equipment also has
features never found on conventional
home movie equipment. Such features as
auto-focus, one-button record, push-button
zoom and a character generator (to put
titles right on the tape) help make home
videotapes look professional, even with an
amateur operating the camera.
A new GE video camera offers super-
sensitivity that produces bright, sharp
color images whether shooting in sunlight
outside the churchor in low lighting in the
reception hall. And, its small size and light
weight make the camera an easy tag-
along for the honeymoon trip.
“What's nice about videotaping your
wedding or any special event is that the
whole day can be brought to life months or
on your home TV screen,” Wiliams says.
And, as videotape continues to increase
in popularity, the videographer will
become more common at weddings and
other special ‘occasions, capturing
precious memories that will be relived for
a lifetime.
