I thoroughly agree. The short is enough. My plan is to deliver a 5-7min short with unedited static, not quite cctv footage of the ceremony, the speeches and first dance. Label those as extras on the DVD menu.
I'm looking for a bit more freedom with the camera, rather than being stuck behind a big heavy tripod in the corner somewhere. I'd like to be able to walk around with a small camera and get footage of the things that really matter on the wedding day, and at my discretion. Much like a second shooter to a photographer. I believe my creativity will go through the roof. I have 250GB capacity to shoot in raw. I figure that'll give me about 75 minutes of footage to work with. Plenty in my view. The image produced is beautiful, there are still some issues in dealing with a slightly convoluted workflow, but I can live with that. I'm using mlrawviewer to premiere. It's the lost magenta frames and frame skipping in the footage and the camera lockups that have stopped me in my tracks.
