A Vintage Wedding Experience – Super 8mm Film

Life Stage Films – Super 8mm Demo from Matt Davis on Vimeo.

You would think in today’s age of HD this and HD that, people would have forgotten old film along time ago. But you see, its more popular than ever. Super 8mm and 16mm are special. Just something about it draws you in. And that translates into a very emotional experience when a wedding is filmed in vintage Super 8mm film. LifeStage is excited and proud to offer the addition of Super 8mm film for your wedding. It’s such a unique experience that we are the only wedding video studio in the region to offer it (3 that we know of in NC).

But we hear you asking, “Guys, what’s so great about it. Its so shaky, there’s no sound and its not a very high quality image. Why would I want this”?

The only response we really have is to ask yourself the feeling you get when you watch old home movies. When you watch old film. Its nostalgic. Super 8 film feels like a faded memory. And its feminine. Its not as harsh as some HD videos tend to be (not ours of course). But when you add film to an HD wedding video it adds so much character to it, it adds another dimension. Super 8mm film is perfect not only for the bride that wants something spectacular and unique, but for the bride who may not want video to begin with. Its kind of the “anti-video”. It doesn’t have the realness of video. It’s…surreal. Its hard not to feel nostalgic when watching Super 8mm films, but please don’t take our word for it. Watch our new sampler demo and let us know what you think. We would be happy to make it available to you for your wedding.

Amy & Angelo met in New York and quickly fell in love. So much so that she moved out to Los Angeles where he was and also expanded her Signature Denim Fashion Line to both coasts. Dr. Angelo Tsirbas is of Greek heritage but lived in Australia. Amy knew that she wanted a perfect “Southern” Wedding here in Wilmington where she grew up, so Orton Plantation was the perfect setting. It was a pleasure filming this wedding! So many international guests made the Greek dancing even more entertaining. The wedding was featured in a January issue of Wrightsville Beach Magazine

Amy chose a great team of professionals to create her charming wedding, and as always we enjoyed working with Lisa Brown of Bella Rose, & A Carolina Wedding. Flowers were by A Beautiful Event.

We have posted here highlights video of the wedding below. She chose to use a classic and romantic song in Diana Krall’s “Let’s Fall in Love” and it came out great! However, I wanted to use this opportunity to show everyone the different styles of filming and editing we do. The second highlights video, is of the same footage yet cut to a different song, “A Night Like This” by Tomi Swick. We need your help! Watch both versions and comment on them to let us know what you like about each different version. Some people prefer a soft romantic feel, and some prefer a more upbeat undertone. Either way, Life Stage can create a wedding video that matches your style. Again, please let us know what you think, not only for us, but to give others ideas on how to create their perfect wedding video.
