Videography
Too many brides are spending money on boring wedding videos, and we're not taking it anymore!
Until now...only 2 types of wedding video was available.
First...
Video you could afford...
Unfortunately, it's very average, ordinary, commonplace, run-of-the-mill, mediocre, unexceptional, typical, and boring! We've heard it countless times over again, "My friends say they only watched their wedding video once or twice...why would I even bother spending the money?" WE DON'T BLAME YOU for feeling that way! Cheap videographers are still producing weddings the way it was done in the 80's. While it was narly in the 80's, let's face it...it‘s quite boring in comparison to what we‘re accustomed to watching on TV today.
The other type of wedding video that's available is...
Video you WISHED you could afford...
This type of video is exceptionally produced, emotionally charged, fun to watch, and is as good as any broadcast television you would see on TV today. Unfortunately, the price tag for this kind of quality in southeast Michigan ranges from $3000 - $7000. Thus, the common dilemma when deciding if you want wedding videography...
Video you can afford is too boring to pay for, so you ask a friend or family member to do it.
Video that you'd love to have is just too expensive.
Finally, you don't need to settle any longer! GFM Productions Videography Service produces the HIGHEST QUALITY, MOST EXCITING, EMOTIONALLY CHARGED and FUN TO WATCH video available; at a price that will fit in your budget. In fact, we'll give you a wedding video that you'll watch so many times, it'll make renting a movie seem expensive! A word of warning, though, it may seem strange that you want to watch yourself this much.

Technical Proficiency
Since the inception of our company, we have been providing our wedding videography services in TRUE widescreen. If you own a Widescreen TV then you will greatly benefit from choosing our Wedding Packages filmed in True Widescreen. Beware of others who just add black bars to the top or bottom of the screen or where the quality of the picture is sacrificed so that a widescreen look is achieved. Lighting is a very complex subject that can impact on the quality of your wedding video production We use the 3 stage lighting technique as used in the broadcast industry involving a Key light, back light and a fill light. These are unobtrusive lighting techniques that add style and professionalism to our wedding videos.
Our sound systems utilise Radio mics for the capture of important audio. This ensures that we don't pick up unwanted background sound and enables us to edit the sound, filter out unwanted noises and ensure emphasis is placed on the important audio content of the video (e.g. wedding speeches). Surround sound is used where possible. Weddings, Hindu Weddings, Sikh Weddings, Muslim Weddings and any other special occasion. Using the very latest professional video filming cameras we record your event digitally onto the highest grade quality DVD's . Then with our state of the art computer editing equipment the film is edited and treated with cinema quality effects, menus and titles, ensuring a state of the art video filming process. The sound is also mixed digitally with the background music of your choice and mastered to CD quality standards. The final result is output using a professional burner to the highest quality DVD in a customised gift presentation box.
Two or Three Camera Shoot
Choosing the option of hiring two camera men will enhance th or Three quality and visual depth of your wedding video and really add that wow factor, setting your wedding video apart from the rest . This is because any given scene is captured from a choice of angles and ranges which can be mixed together to create a stunning impact. This facilitates the production of "Movie like effects" whereby a view is switched from long shot to close up. Hiring two camera men is also logistically sound as it ensures that simultaneous events can both be covered (for example, ceremonies at the brides and groom's residence respectively). Our two camera shoot packages are highly competitively priced. Please ask us for a quote.
Video
Editing
This is the crowning glory of every video production which transforms the raw video footage into a work of art. A film which has been edited professionally will be visually stunning and will flow in a logical manner with one scene leading and blending into the next. Whilst our videos capture the key events in each wedding we cover, we avoid using long scenes to ensure that our creations are compelling, exciting and unique to watch Look at our demo and you will see exactly how good we are!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do you price your services?
Since we custom build your wedding video film we do not have standard prices but tailor them to the level of service which you select. Our pricing is largely contingent on three criteria. First, we determine the number of cameras necessary to shoot your wedding video. Secondly, we determine the amount of time we will spend with you on the day of your event. Lastly, we determine the effort required in post production editing that will be necessary to craft the finished wedding video.
Q: What type of equipment do you use?
Unlike most videographers, , we utilize WIDESCREEN video cameras and non-linear editing computers. Remember, as well as the equipment, it's also the person behind the equipment that matters - we guarantee wedding video filming in a league of it's own!
Q: What formats are available for duplications?
DVD is now the most popular format and your video will be supplied as such, as per your unique requirements.
Q: How are you dressed at our event?
We are usually dressed in dark (black) uniforms, bearing our corporate logo. We try to match the type of attire your guests will be wearing at your event. You can rest assured that our staff are always impeccably presented.
Q: Do you include all of the footage taken the day of my event?
You will receive an edited version of your wedding day which contains most of the original footage. As an option, you may receive the original unedited raw footage of your day for your archives.
Q: How many video cameras should I have present during my event?
That will depend on your budget. The more cameras you have operating during your event the more interesting your video will be to watch. It will also increase your production costs because of the additional equipment, labour, and post-production time. Please ask for further details and costs.
Q: How visible are you to my guests during my wedding day?
A good videographer walks a fine line between getting the shots that are required, yet remaining as discreet as possible. Some clients prefer a passive, photo-journalistic approach to the gathering of footage. Others prefer a more directed, staged-approach intended to deliver their desired outcome. Our experience has given us the ability to produce your story in whatever style you are most comfortable with. We conduct ourselves in an unobtrusive, professional manner while simultaneously getting the images most important in capturing the memories of your big day.
