Perfectly Imperfect
The flaws, color and grainy format of Super 8 film now seem charming in light of the hyper-real qualities of HD. If you have your videographer shoot portions of your event on Super 8 film and then transfer it to a digital video, he or she can combine the aesthetic of simpler times with modern video technology. "Film produces a soft image that’s more forgiving in comparison to the crisp look of digital video," says Melissa McDowell of Vignette Films, 508-460-0888, vignettefilms.com in Boston. "Working with both Super 8 and digital video gives me the flexibility to combine vintage and modern looks to make a unique and stylish wedding film." Cost: Wedding packages including Super 8 coverage start at $2,400.
