Hahaha... No offence but this is like 0.0003% of what After Effects can do...

what 0.0003? this is 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of AE's capability. Even Ms word cant be learnt with pictures.

No pun intended, but i think if you really want to help its better u show them where to get the resources instead of giving someone a false sense of knowledge.

The fact is, wedding videography is exhausting—with long hours, heavy gear, high stress—
but it is also incredibly rewarding. As a wedding videographer, you will be regularly
surrounded by people joyfully celebrating. Besides, wedding videographers thrive in a
somewhat stressful environment and know that at least a small portion of the job is to
advise, calm, and help the couple through the day’s events. After all, the videographer has
probably been “backstage” at more weddings than the bride and groom. Wedding
videographers get the satisfaction of knowing that their tools, gear, and creative vision will
create a tribute to the couple and their important event. A wedding videographer’s artistry
will shape how the bride and groom perceive and remember the day itself.
There is an immense amount of colorful material to work with in building a wedding video:
leading characters in love, a supporting cast of friends and family, and a few settings almost
guaranteed to be beautiful (albeit often poorly lit and with bad audio). There are also some
dramatic moments already built into the script: the vows, the first kiss, the first dance, the
cake cutting. Even the most jaded wedding vendor can get teary during these moments.
Our culture is somewhat defined by lifecycle events such as weddings. A wedding videographer gets to see all the humanity and emotion that goes into these milestone occasions.
A good videographer treats this privilege respectfully and gratefully, as witness to the very
intimate, raw, and emotional moments of their clients’ lives. In the story’s re-telling, the
videographer re-lives this honor, and can both edit and enhance those moments to tell the
exact story the clients want

Why Is Wedding Videography Unique?

Wedding videography differs from other types of filmmaking and involves a distinct set of
challenges and rewards. Challenges include the following:
Typically, the wedding videographer plays every role in the production and
post-production cycle: shooter, sound engineer, grip, editor, audio mixer,
colorist, and motion graphic artist. Each one of these jobs is a specialty that
can require years of experience on its own before any level of expertise is
reached. Indeed, in a Hollywood setting, sound engineers and graphic artists
are rarely if ever in the same room together because their skills are so refined
and specialized. Nevertheless, the wedding videographer must possess the
full range of skills.

The wedding videographer must coordinate the expectations of the couple
with the realities of the shooting day. Having put excessive hours and Naira/Dollars
into planning their event, it is only natural that the couple wants everything
to be perfect. That translates to wanting a gorgeously produced video that
looks like a staged film with choreographed shots, mood lighting, and a
storyline. The fact is, although couples may want a feature film, the video
must be shot documentary style: single-take shooting in loud settings, under
uncontrollable light, with rapid scene changes—and no chance to redo shots.
(The couple will not recite their vows twice or have a second first kiss!) With
only one chance to capture most of the day’s events, the videographer must
constantly anticipate the next piece of action while calculating optimal light
and angles for the current shots. He or she must constantly pay attention to
sound quality and background noise, and must have the ideas and capacity to
quickly stage shots in unfamiliar locations on the fly. Finally, to give a
professional and feature-film look to poor-quality shots, a videographer must
be well versed in editing and effects techniques.

There are very few changes to the storyline in a wedding video: Boy meets
girl, they fall in love, they commit to each other for life, they throw a party. A
big creative exercise in wedding videography is cooking up new recipes with
similar ingredients. As you’ll find in subsequent posts, there are ways to approach
your work that will help you think about each couple—and their event—with
a fresh perspective and fresh eyes. It is important to get to know your clients,
which helps you give each couple the creativity they deserve for the event
they are building.

The Business Of weddings

Nearly by definition, a wedding videographer takes some joy from the excitement, beauty,
and tradition surrounding the lifecycle event in which he or she is participating. For some
vendors, the job satisfaction in wedding videography lies in the celebration itself; for others,
it comes from finding the perfect way to capture dramatic and emotional moments on
camera or creatively rendering these moments through artistic editing and effects. In my
decade of wedding videography, however, I have yet to meet the wedding vendor who got
started through a love of accounting. But as with any service business, operational logistics
such as budgeting, accounting, marketing and bidding jobs are integral to success.
Your arrival in the industry might change how you regard your business and your goals. For
example, suppose you had a great time shooting your cousin’s wedding for free and realized
that becoming a weekend wedding videographer would be an excellent way to make some
additional income. In that case, you’ll need to learn quite a bit about both the production
and post-production processes in order to remain competitive in the field. Or perhaps,
having graduated from film school, you’ve decided to start a collective with some colleagues
with the intent of supporting several videographers full-time. While your education will
undoubtedly serve you in the product you are creating, managing a wedding timeline—not to mention wedding clientele—may be quite different from managing the projects with which you are familiar. Most likely, you are testing the waters somewhere in between, with
some experience, small immediate goals, and larger long term ones.
Regardless of how you fell into this line of work and which aspects of it you hope to focus on, it’s important, as with any business, to consider and plan the ways in which you want your business to grow. As you get further along in your business development, you must revisit your goals, revising them and extending them to match the realities you face and the vision you are striving for.

There is no one-price-fit-all-package price . It all depends on your vision/ style and your budget. They could be as big as multi-camera shoots with projectors, live streaming, Canvas, photobooks, bridal photo n video shoots...the list is as endless as how big or small u want to build a mansion.

Maya, Max, C4d does preety much the same job. Mastering one gives u an edge in working with the others...whats needed is knowing how to manuever around the program.

Thanks alot...Eyeon Fusion is a node-based composition software. Unlike AE which is layer-based. It has 100s of blockbusters to its credit. I got to learn abt it when i purchased a copy of "Visual Effects for Hollywood Directors" a powerful set of DVDs from Hollywoodcameraworks.us.html

Lynda.com is a good place to start

Awesome tips...thanks alot. I think i have to up my Animation time ...I'm leaning into Vfx. have an intermediate knowledge of AE, basic photoshop already...moving to Maya, zbrush, n fusion. That should be enough to do all i can imagine in VFX.

Engagement video:

An engagement video depicts the “story behind the
story.” It may contain footage of the bride and groom explaining how they
met and show scenes of them together, which may be shot for the occasion or
pulled from existing footage. It can make a very funny piece to interview the
couple separately about their courtship and relationship, and craftily edit
their stories together, potentially pulling in other footage from family and
friends. Like a montage, an engagement video is a warm and welcoming
piece of entertainment for guests at the rehearsal dinner or reception, as well
as something to enjoy forever.

What Does a Wedding Videographer Do?

It is 2 p.m. You have been at work since eight o’clock this morning, and you have eight hours to
go. Your feet hurt from standing in dress shoes, your shoulder hurts from carrying a tripod, and
your head hurts because the bride is crying to her mother about last-minute changes to the
seating arrangement. You aren’t sure if you should record these stressful moments or retreat to
another room. You secretly wish the bride was wearing a microphone, but you’re pretty sure it
would be inappropriate to ask her to put one on at this moment. Complicating things for you is
the fact that the bride specified that she wanted lots of footage of the groom getting ready, but
that appears to consist of him watching TV in his hotel room. Should you tell him to get
dressed? Also, the ceremony starts in an hour, and you have yet to be allowed into the chapel to
assess lighting; you only have one chance to get the vows, and you have to make sure you’ll be
standing in the right place when they happen. And of course, the florist forgot the boutonnieres,
and is driving 60 miles round trip to her shop to pick them up—hopefully by show time. Stress
levels are higher than anything you’ve ever experienced…since last Saturday’s wedding, that is.
You are, in short, having a typical day on the job as a wedding videographer.

Good piece of Intel, Now i know where to hack. #Robinhoodmode activated.

Nigerian army could be making good progress over the missing girls and women as it claims to have rescued 293 girls and women. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/nigerian-army-says-rescued-300-792095?facebook_20150428

Based on my study, research and experience, its really not about the CGI or visual effects, Actors take martial arts training to prepare for such roles, Stunt coordinators are also on ground. sometimes the directors are certified film stunt coordinators. Visual effects, special effects(prosthetic, explosions, smoke/fog machine) is just the icing of the cake.Van Damne's fight in films like Hard target are based on the stunt coordination, camera work, directing and most importantly,the actors martial abilities, actors Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Nikita (real name Maggie Q who was trained by Jakie chan) Jaden Smith, Shane west, Nee liasmson Do all of their stunts themselves. Hopefully i"m almost done with a script based on action/romance with lots of real a**s kicking & weaponry, like u see in Hollywood. Hope to submit entries for next years film festivals in Africa and US. I need your support Nairalanders. One Love my people.
