Ron & Amanda – a “Scottish” Super 8 Film

Wilmington, NC

From NC, to London, to Australia and back again. And so glad they invited us along for the last leg of the ride. :)
Amanda and Ron live in Perth, Australia but wanted to celebrate with friends and family near Amanda’s hometown and feel the Atlantic ocean spray on their face for their wedding day. Amanda mentioned to us that although our work isn’t typical and is very engaging, she didn’t want a normal wedding video. In fact, she enjoyed watching her parents Super 8 wedding video growing up so much, that she wanted to feel the same nostalgia for her own wedding film. As one of the few in NC who offer vintage Super 8mm, we obliged.
So much character for this wedding. If you ever run into Ron’s friends (the groomsmen) on the street, ask them to tell you about the bachelor party adventure(s). And if you run into Amanda on the street, you’ll have to let her fill you in on the rest of Ron’s toast to her (in the film). We cut it off after he says she inquired about “what was up” the kilt….one of the best toast bloopers ever. :)
Enjoy you kids! Thanks so much for being different and being in love so we could film this day for you!

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.
