<Here's what happened.
Our agreement with the customer was that we would shoot the wedding in
High Def, archive the tapes, and deliver the final dvd in standard.
Our 2nd camera op, screwed up and shot their ceremony (and some b
roll) footage in sd 4:3, while the other two cameras shot in hdv
16:9.In addition, He also shot 10 minutes worth of interviews at the
cocktail reception in sd 4:3.( he had just come from a morning job
that had to be shot in sd 4:3, and forgot to switch his camera back to
hdv). And unfortunately, his ceremony footage was the most important,
as he was focused on the bride. In other words, we can't leave his
ceremony footage out and use the other two cameras only.
During a lull after the cocktail reception, we realized the mistake,
and he switched his camera back to hdv. The rest of the party was shot
in hdv.
So the obvious questions are:
1- How can we edit this wedding? How can we mix the sd 4:3 section
with the rest? ( If the sd stuff were at least in 16:9, it wouldn't be
so bad...we could have cut it all in sd and at least have the same
aspect ratio).
2- When and what should I say to the client?
3- So, to sum it up, we have:
A-Some rehearsal b roll in hdv.
B- 2nd and third ceremony cameras in hdv
C- Everything after the cocktail reception in hdv.
D- First camera ceremony, ceremony b roll, and 10 minutes worth of
cocktail interviews in sd 4:3. ( I could go back to the church and re
shoot his b roll in hdv, but that still leaves the ceremony and
interviews).
Any ideas?
