Nice piece of work. I like the angles of the shots and perfect use of the Smartsound music. These look like photo moments. You might consider using this somewhere inside the wedding video and if you have some, use some other pre-ceremony shots as the opening, i.e., exterior shots of the chapel, guests arriving, beautiful boquets, bride and groom, seperately with the bridesmaid, best man, etc. If you want to get more sophisticated, put some dating and together-with-friends pictures of the couple as the opener then lead into the big day. Mostly save the bride, in full gown, for the big moment, then show lots of her afterwards.

It's all a matter of taste, but there appear to be still shots at the start where you have done some pan/crop work. You might consider adjusting your keyframes or moving the events so the subtle movement from picture to picture appears to keep flowing. You have some page peels and stuff that might make that harder but it should be doable. Again, its' a matter of taste. For me, when I see subtle movement on a still and then it freezes, I hear a mental thud that messes up the flow.

As for showing the groom, take him out if you intend to use this at the beginning of the video. Leave him in if this clip will be inserted after the ceremony. Wedding videos are beautiful drama. Those watching should experience a bit of what seperately waiting to meet at the altar was like for your couple. Overall, this is a good looking clip.

Not to be a party-pooper but you may also want to ask Jonathan Cain for permission to use his copyrighted work. I believe that tune is, "A Day To Remember" from his album "For A Lifetime."

The music is from FreePlay Music

Tis not the first time I've crammed my foot in my mouth. "A Brighter Day" courtesy of FreePlay music. My humble apologies. If you'll excuse me, I'll just slink back under the rock from where I came. I knew it sounded familiar but some random neuron misfired and gave me the wrong data. Again, my humble apologies. Crow anyone?

That is Freeplay music. I was wrong, too. I thought it sounded like a peice from the Smartsound package from Sonic Desktop.

The setting looks beautiful. I also really like the "tape on the corners" look. how did you achieve that?

Overall..nice job....
The page peels are a bit cheezy (80ish)....although it doesn't look to bad in this case. A bit excessive headroom on the subjects...try to keep the eyes in the upper third of the frame. As mentioned earlier, add a little more motion with the stills

For web viewing...you might want to reduce the size down to 320 X 240...drop the audio back to 48kbps/mono (give more bandwidth to the video)....

The "tape on the corners" is a mask from Paint Shop Pro 9, I had been using PSP 7 then the day of the wedding I get the upgrade e-mail from Jasc. I think the world is out to rob me of all my money - ah the things we do for friends.
Seriously, PSP 9 is a great alt to Photo Shop CS. Corel just bought Jasc so I think PSP 9 will get even better.

As for changes that I might make,
Randy I tried the colorpass but thought it has been over done. But I still may because even though I've seen it a million times, the bride and groom may have not.
2Road, this would the first play on the DVD so I agree on removing the groom. As for the freeze you spoke of, the only stills are the "scapebook" at the begining and they have pan/crop and transition.

Thanks for the input, I'll get to working on these things now they are back from the honeymoon. :-)

One other thought: The last shot in your clip is especially nice. You might want to crop out the stray arm and use the shot to end the whole video. Hope all turns out well.

..and bring the tape back in for that final "still."

I thought it was a nice job. Kudos.
