In an increasingly visual age many companies are failing to use the power of the video.
What is the world second largest search engine? You Tube. Not sure how to train your dog? How do you put a PowerPoint Presentation together? How do put that shelf up? Is Elvis still alive? What ever the question there will no doubt have been a video made about it on You Tube.
You then have your video is made but how do you get people to watch?
Over the next few weeks I will be expanding my website to show how video can save your business money and help promote your brand.
Hope you like the new logo.

<br />
Alison
and David were married at Airth Castle Hotel. The ceremony was
conducted by the lovely Mary Wallace, a humanist who I have filmed on
several occasions. You will also the advantage of filming with 2 cameras
especially when working in tight spaces! Thank goodness for years of
experience filming weddings as sometimes you never know what is coming
next and you have to react with lightning speed. Not for the faint
hearted!<br />

This was a great event and is truly inspirational.
These awards are for businesses, individuals and school children who have
shown enterprise and enterprising behaviour in the schools in Falkirk.
Schools are awarded either a bronze, silver, gold and platinum awards. To
have a platinum award is very difficult as the school must maintain very high
standards for 3 years to achieve this. Individual champion awards are
given to certain businesses and individuals who have worked on the schools on different
projects or even to individuals who help on school projects. These
are a couple of photographs of individuals who won champion awards.<br />

Sharp Focus Visual Arts have been so professional and the service was so quick! We had an amazing wedding day but your video really was the best thing we spent our money on. You completely captured our special moments and it was wonderful to see the other parts of the wedding that we didn't get to see, for instance everyone arriving for me! - just fabulous! The quality of the video and editing was just superb. Our friends and family have absolutely loved it - and I think my mum has worn her copy out she has watch it so many times with her friends.
I think we might be watching it a fair few more times in the future! Actually I have a girls day arranged for us to watch the video with cocktails and nibbles. And we will definitely be watching it every anniversary.
Thanks so much again and we would have absolutely no reservation in recommending you to anyone."Sharp Focus Visual Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824472303212126211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497147105633604104.post-14167182725779070812012-05-09T09:52:00.000-07:002012-05-09T11:00:03.277-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is our featured wedding of the month. Nicola and Simon were married at the Vu, Bathgate bythe "Happy Reverend". He is very funny and make the couple very relaxed. The Vu is a good venue as you can be married and have your photographs taken at the same place. Nicola also went in for a bit of pole dancing which you can see if you view the video clip below. You can also see a link to their wedding album.

This is a clip of most recent wedding video we have filmed. This is the wedding of Alexa and Edward. They were married and they had their reception at Broomhall Castle near Menstrie, Stirling on 6 April 2012. Their ceremony was conducted by a humanist and was lovely as it was very personal. Two of the guests were pipers (father and son) and a lot family and friends contributed to the day by helping making the cake, favours,etc.<br />

I will be doing a feature on different wedding each month. The featured
wedding this month is the wedding of Carrieann and Ross. They were
married at Logie Kirk, Stirling and they had their reception at the
newly refurbished Alloa Town Hall. Most of the pictures were taken in
and around Logie Kirk. I especially liked the Master of Ceremonies – he
was a friend of a friend but he was a professional Toast Master. If
you want to see the finalised wedding album, click on the link below. You can aslo see a clip of their wedding video below as well. <br />

Winter weddings can be difficult to photograph but with a bit of imagination and use of many indoor locations can be used to remedy this. One of my favourites is using the wedding reception area as a backdrop. The bride and groom will have spent a lot of money on flowers, favours and the cake to decorate this room. It seems a shame that this location is not used very often as a back drop.Sharp Focus Visual Artshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824472303212126211noreply@blogger.com0
