Intro to the full wedding video, of the wedding of
Daniel & Natasha, held at the Five Bridge Inn.

Nick Kane was on 2nd camera.

It's (as usual) a three-camera shoot, which I edited,
as well as Blu-Ray disc authored and published.

Ben & Rachel's Wedding

Ben and Rachel - Wedding August 3rd, 2013 from Shawn Hare on Vimeo.

Third wedding shot with partner Ryan Sherwood.

It was our first Jewish wedding, and was a lot of fun.

What a sweet couple. And Hava Nagila for cryin' out loud. What's not to like?

Ryan's workload (he's in college now) was a bit heavy so I ended up doing the editing of both the highlights video and the long version, as well as the DVD authoring.

Olivia and Tahlé Wedding

This is my (and Ryan Sherwood's) second wedding trailer video. Once again Ryan edited it, but both of us operated cameras. This one is a bit different from the first in that we were invited guests, and were asked only to film the wedding ceremony. So we tried to comply as much as possible, all the while sneaking in some extra footage here and there, at our leisure, to make it a little more dynamic.

The whole experience was fabulous, from the location of the wedding ceremony (St Luke's Catholic Church, in Barrington, RI) to the reception (Venus deMilo restaurant). Lots of smiling faces and the wedded couple were a lovely match.

Thanks so much to Sarah for asking us to be the videographers for Olivia and Tahlé's wedding!

Cameras used were three CanonT3i, with 70-200mm, 35mm, 84mm, and a GoPro camera.
The music is Ben Rector, "Disarm", licensed through Music Bed.

Not shown, but included in this project, is the long version, which is basically the ceremony; the DVD authoring, and packaging, all of which was done by yours truly.

Teaser Trailer (FRAGMENTS)

This assignment was to be a short version of the previous tailer, either 90 or 60 seconds long, rearranged, etc.  I figured since my original was only slightly over two minutes, doing one at 90 wouldn't be a sufficient challenge, so I opted for the 60 second version. The only criticism I got from the instructor was that it might've been too wordy; that perhaps leaving some space between the voice over narration and the on-screen action would've been more effective, and less taxing on the viewer.

Most people tend to like this one better than the original, as it sort of tells the story a little more clearly.

DSLR Introduction Test

Assignment to acquaint us with the Canon T3i DSLR; shot with the standard 18-55 lens, only with available light; 7 shots. We shot it in 24fps. The original assignment was to have no sound, since sound wasn't a factor for learning how to use the camera. My partner was Dennis Cabral. Music is from freemusicarchive.org.  All scenes shot in the library at New England Institute of Technology. Special thanks to the head librarian for giving us permission to shoot the card catalogue.

My First Wedding Video

My first* wedding video. My partner in this venture is Ryan Sherwood of Sure Would Films and Blue Lobster Productions (along with his partner Max). We're looking forward to two more weddings we have lined up (so far).  I'm guessing we can only get better as time goes on.  Ryan did all of the editing of this trailer, and only consulted with me after an original rough draft which is nearly indistinguishable from the final result (that's how good his original was).  I do notice a little bit of a lull at a particular point, but other than that it came out rather nicely, especially for a first try. Most of the footage is admittedly Ryans, as my camera was used mainly for the constant during the ceremony.  Ryan and Max shot with Canon T3i's and I with a Canon XA10. It was edited with Adobe Premier Pro.

The bride and groom Grace and Anthony were fabulous! And the venue, Linden Place, Bristol, Rhode Island was very nice. The Lord provided a lovely day.

The music is "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane.

*Technically it's my second, as I recorded my stepdaughter's wedding, but I did so only with a Kodak Playsport mini-cam, and it was done before I had any formal training in video and editing.
