Any of the following options can be combined to create your customized service package.
Crystal Reel Highlight
All packaged services include full-version DVDs, which run 90-120 minutes. The Crystal Reel Highlight is an additional, shorter version – usually 15 minutes or less – that focuses on your day’s most important images. What makes this so special is that it’s defined by cutting-edge editing, featuring the creative energy of our talented editors. This option has won several national awards for its use of slow motion, black and white shots, music overlay and selected natural audio (speeches, etc). Our clients love to show our Crystal Reel Highlight to friends and extended family.
Cinematic Reel
We artistically edit a romantic film of the entire day, including pre-wedding footage that guests never see. They relive the event from the very beginning to the end in only four to six minutes. The bridal couple includes this DVD with their personalized thank you cards. The response thus far has been amazing. Guests of past weddings were overwhelmed with the unexpected ability to share these wonderful memories for a lifetime.
Wedding Trailer
This wedding film is the most dramatic, high impact option that we offer, often edited to Hollywood movie scores that will leave your guests breathless. This 2-3 minute film is the perfect option to email or post on your website.
Webcasting Your Films
The Crystal Reel Highlight, Cinematic Reel and the Wedding Trailer are ideal options for webcasting. Your wedding will stream directly from our website for one year. This link can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used as a thank you email to send to all your guests, as well as upload to your social media sites. This fast and simple email link is the best way to instantly share the excitement of your event.
2nd Camera for Ceremony
This option allows the Video Editor more creative freedom through different angles and shots not possible in a single camera shoot. You can also upgrade the 2nd camera option to cover the entire wedding day.
Upgrade to our Deluxe DVD
Includes 4-color library box cover, fully produced graphic menu page and movie-style chapters. Additional Deluxe DVD copies in leather album are $40 each.
High Definition, True HD on Blu-ray discs
High Definition is the wave of the future. In recent years high-definition (HD) has become very popular with consumers and media alike. This upgrade option will allow you to view your wedding day in true HD fashion. The 1920 by 1080 resolution will allow you to view a crystal clear image that will preserve your memories for lifetimes to come. This option includes one Blu-ray DVD in addition to your standard definition DVDs.
Photo Montage
The perfect compliment for those who want to tell a little history using photographs from the past and present. For a wedding, this option includes up to 30 photos of Growing Up and/or Dating and up to 20 Honeymoon photos. It can also be added to the long version DVD and can be included in the optional Crystal Reel Highlight DVD.
Feature-Length Photo Montage
This option includes up to 100 photos and is normally played during dinners or parties. The montage usually runs from 6 to 8 minutes and is ideal when projected on a large theatre screen.
Large Screen Projection
Our large screen projection system lets you display your photo montage or concept video at your party. This option includes a technician (up to 4 hours) and all needed equipment.
Rehearsal Dinner Coverage
While frequently overlooked, the dramatic emotions of the couple, their friends, and their family are often first displayed at the rehearsal dinner. Our coverage documents all the speeches, toasts, and emotions of the bridal party. This is an ideal occasion to add a photo montage or love story presented on a large theatre screen, creating a huge impact for your guests’ entertainment.
Love Story
Couples often come to us to create a film about how they met and fell in love. We capture their relationship, showing how it has evolved right up to their special day. Some Love Stories, for example, are produced as music videos, shot on location and often including an interview session. Short and fun to watch, your Love Story makes a natural addition to your reception entertainment. There is no limit to the creativity. These films are often projected on a large theatre screen to introduce the bridal couple at the reception.
Zap Shots Photo Entertainment
This cutting-edge entertainment experience is a must have at this year’s most exciting parties. We capture candid digital photos of all the fun and excitement during the party and project them on our large screen. Party guests are so impressed they request copies of these photos. Your event photographer will receive the high quality photos on CD and can print all the copies your guests may want. Many clients combine Zap shots, photo montage, Love Story, live camera feed, and graphics to provide great party entertainment.
Same Day Edit
This feature will bring the wow factor to any celebration. This is a fantastic choice for multi-day weddings, weddings in which the bridal couple is filmed while getting ready, or split day shots where not all guests are present at once. These films consistently elicit standing ovations. We edit the footage in stages throughout the event and then show the finished film to introduce the couple into the party or to send them off at the end. Call us at 301.315.6300 or 1.800.383.2117 for more details.
