Fusion Films for Weddings
There’s been a certain “buzz” in the world of wedding imagery with what has been called “Fusion”. First, let me introduce Fusion to you. Fusion is the blending of the still image (a photograph) with the moving image (video clips), to make a short film. While this is not a revolutionary idea, the tools and the new artistry of shooting combine to make this a very compelling option, especially for wedding couples.
Although some photographers are not interested in Fusion, many are embracing it, as a fresh way to bring the video component into their craft. And some of the tools to create the moving image are being incorporated into the cameras they are already using. But the post-production of an edited film has been a challenge for some photographers who are working with video for the first time.
We feel that Fusion is a natural progression, not only for the industry, but for our own creativity. As mentioned, the industry is pushing the boundaries of what tool is used to capture the still and moving image. Today’s professional digital cameras can create stunning imagery, with both still photography and video from the same camera. Our company, Vital Memories, has already been providing separate services for photography and videography. Since we already have the skills and talent for both mediums, it was very natural for us to provide Fusion.
Earlier this year we decided to offer our Fusion Film, and have been very pleased with the response from our clients. Our Fusion Films are not simply a montage of photos mixed with video. Like a good short story, we focus not only on the imagery but the audio as well. We feel that the story of a wedding is enhanced tremendously by the conversations and sounds of the day. When we blend our still images with key video clips we can produce a tightly edited film and a very compelling story.
We are very excited to offer our Fusion Films, and hope you are as well! Please visit our website to see a sample of our Fusion Film.
