It's true. The next time you walk out of your bride's home, hand in hand, broad smile on you face, have some friends standing by with confetti crackers. In a home environment, very little else can add last minute glamour to your wedding video than bits of glitter streaming down you and your other half as you walk out the house or walk down the red carpet in a hotel setting.
Our experience as video production specialists we've seen various wedding videos getting the confetti treatment and we are now advising our clients to invest in at least two confetti crackers. It's one of those little detail that add dazzle to the presentation which you tend to overlook during your busy schedule. Imagine the industry size confetti cannons that are used during a concert's finale and you'll know what I mean. They give the performance that bling factor. The home version is inexpensive and easy to set up.
The advantages:
1) Value for money- looks great on video. Confetti crackers costs very little.
2) Easy to set up- all you need are two friends handling one cracker each. Just one twist on the cracker and it'll send bits of shiny foil all over the place.
The disadvantages:
1) Very messy- if you have no one on hand to clean up, be prepared to live with bits and pieces on the ground/wedding car, your hair etc. Some hotels may take offence to this. Be sure to check.
2) Shock & awe- whoever plans to use this technique, please inform the bride and groom early. We've seen too many startled expressions on the bride and groom's face as they weren't told in advance hence they were shocked by the crackers' bang. This affects the video in a negative way.
There you have it. So go out and purchase a pair for your wedding. Oh, one more thing. Do be kind enough to let your videographer/photographer know about this setup in advance. We've seen many videographers jump during recording, from the shock of the blast, which spoils the shot.
Have fun :)
