Video idea...

FI may have come up with an idea to solve our video heartache. I've been really really bummed that we won't be having video, but the simple fact is that NY video vendors either suck or are too expensive. The vendor we have here is AMAZING, but I throw up every time I think about the costs. That's Layla's room and then sum....

So, FI is an overstock.com whore. I'm not even kidding. He is a sucker for a good deal. Lol. He found these video cameras: http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/SVP-HDDV2200-5MP-Blue-Digital-Camcorder-with-16GB-SDHC-Memory-Card/5170273/product.html


His idea is to leave them out with a little note saying something along the lines of, "Use me to capture our day from your point of view"

He figures after we can go over the video and cut footage we want/don't want. Plus I'd assume that drunk people at a wedding + a video camera = tons of funny sh*t.

THoughts?

    I think it's a great idea, and a great way to save some $$$.

    this was my orginial idea and it got blasted on other boards - there are some mean b*tches out there. (not on the south fl board, though - you girls are so sweet)

    anyway i say go for it! editing it yourself might be hard, so maybe taking the footage to a pro to edit would be good. not sure what they would charge though. can't wait to see how it comes out - its going to be great!
    best.day.ever.

    Thats an awesome idea...
    Hope no drunken person tries to take it lol
    but go for it!!

    Maybe you can ask a friend to video tape the ceremony for you too? I did that for my friend and did some editing and gave her a dvd.
    Editing is not that hard...

    That's a great idea.. you will have a very unique and fun video. I say do it!

    JT - if pepole blast you that's their problem. Sorry that happend to you :\
    We can afford video ... but do I see the sense in spending $2500 for a video that will most likely sit on a shelf when I have a baby coming? Eh, not really. Will I miss it? Heck yeah ... But not enough to spend $2500......instead ill leave some cameras & have our big Italians families get drunk and leave us some hilarious footage. lol

    That was our idea too. I'm gonna get a couple Flip Cams and have people use them throughout the ceremony and reception. And since I know video editing, I can just do it all myself when I have some free time.

    Great find with that video camera!

    This is a great idea.  How many are you planning on buying and will you be selling them after?  I may be interested in case you couldn't tell haha.

    love this idea! i might consider this too...
    Do you think people would end up stealing them though? and how many do you think would be a good amount to have?
