We, as in the vendors of Project Wed, constantly strive to make our websites better and more usable.  Most websites in the wedding industry are broken and/or poorly made.  But when it comes to our websites, we spare no expense.  We want to get you the information that you're looking for, and for you to never feel lost.  Sometimes when we try things out, we get emails from people saying yay or nay.  If you come across something that you either really like or dislike on our sites, let us know about it.  It is soooo helpful to get feedback, and we really do listen and take into consideration everyone's thoughts. So if you have any comments, just email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Now, on to something wedding related: Fish eye lenses.  Ah, you amazing little piece of glass.  I recently got a new fish eye lens and I was using it for everything.  Weddings, commercials, short films, you name it.  Then I realized that I was using it way to much.  As it turns out, weddings shot entirely with a fish eye lens get boring pretty fast.   When you film something with a fish eye, whether you're a videographer or photographer, it's really hard for your shots to not look cool.  But after weeks of barely taking the thing off my camera I realized that I was using it as a crutch to make all my shots looks good, instead of working that much harder to make my standard shots great.  I also realized that when you string an hour of fish eye shots together they're not cool anymore, they're boring. I'm over it though, and am back on track.  I've been using the lens to add something extra to my videos instead of cramming it down my videos throats. So the moral of this little blog is that you shouldn't get completely absorbed by a single technique, or it will consume your work and make it mediocre.   The fish eye lens is a powerful tool, but to get the full effect you should use it few and far between.

Here is a great example of a well done photo with a fish eye lens:

More is better.

When it comes to videography and photography, the more cameras the better.  Think about it.  What would a movie look like if it was filmed completely on the fly with only one camera.  It would look like those wedding videos that you don't like!  The more cameras a videographer has at your event, the more he's going to have to work with.  Be suspicious of videographers who offer one camera packages, their quality could be lower than what you expect. 

Steven Spielberg officially approves this message.
