Primeau Productions, based in Greenville, SC recently heard a video production story that was both funny and sad. The family of a couple who were married for an astounding 65-years decided to hold a big party near Athens, Georgia.
There were to be well over 125 relatives including children, grand-children and great grand-children. No expense was spared (except for one): instead of hiring an experienced, professional video production company, a friend of one of the relatives insisted he was a “video expert,” and would give them a super cut-rate price.
Look before leaping
The celebration went off without a hitch, and the honored couple, 96 and 94 years of age, got up and danced along with everyone else. It was, we were told, absolutely beautiful. In fact, when they renewed their wedding vows there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. However, there was a problem: the video was so poorly shot and so muffled, that the couple might as well have been re-married in London, in a thick cloud bank at 2:00 a.m. surrounded by tooting tugboats.
In addition to the poor quality of the video itself, it was abominably edited. The precious moments, the fun moments, the family jokes and a few of the silly speeches were “lost.” Part of the story, the saddest part, maybe, was a call from the couple’s daughter to a professional videographer asking: “If a portion of a tape is edited over, can it be recovered?”
The really serious question Primeau Productions would like to ask anyone reading this post is this: “Is the amount of money saved by using an amateur, worth losing some of a family’s most precious memories?” We think the answer is obvious.
Nothing is saved
While Primeau Productions would hope the couple makes it to their 75-year anniversary, we all understand the likelihood. In the end, the cost of hiring a professional firm such as Primeau Productions is minimal compared to the lost opportunity and losing the dearest moments.
