If upres does not look good, I think you should go HD, 16x9 and use HD Digital Juice wedding
backgrounds to fill the screen. Use soft edges on the 4x3 footage.
OR
You could fill the 16x9 with the 4x3 footage in the middle and maye bring in the other two cam
angles on either side (maybe in smaller screens) so they are looking at three cameras at one time.
Good luck. I used to shoot weddings and am happy to say that I never got a complaint. There were
some real close calls where there could have been disasters but never enough for anyone to notice.
I can honestly say that, as many as I did, each wedding made me feel more nervous than the groom. I
was always waiting for my camera to die unexpectedly in the middle of some unreplacable moment.
