For anyone pondering how many cameras to consider when planning your wedding or other live event video or film, the clip below may help you decide. It compares the same scene edited from one, two, and three camera angles.
Single camera coverage is less expensive and may be your only option if your decision is strictly budget driven. Perhaps you only need one camera to document an event, such as a wedding. But understanding the role of multiple cameras may help you determine how many you want! Three camera coverage provides the most intimate film. Using two cameras is the compromise between using one and three cameras.
Generally speaking, a single camera covering a live event, performance, wedding ceremony, etc., places the viewer of the film in a spectator role. Having three camera angles places the viewer in a participant role.
The set-up for the clip below:
The minister in the clip is the uncle of the groom (Robby). The first wedding the minister ever performed was for Robby’s parents 30 years ago. Unknown to Robby, the silver cross the minister is wearing was presented to him by Robby’s late grandfather after performing the ceremony for Robby’s parents.
When SunDolphin Productions shot this wedding, no one, including us, knew about the pending surprise revelation. Without the third camera in position, a key moment would have been essentially lost.

SunDolphin Productions is not only Birmingham’s premier wedding and event videography company, but now we’re your favorite radio station!!! OK, OK,…maybe the radio station part is a bit overstated. But, one of our goals in launching our new web site is to create a fun experience for our visitors. We’ve just added a “play music” tab to the top of our wedding and event page. Clicking this tab will open a small mp3 player on your desk top named “Tiny Dancer” (Alisa’s idea). The player has been initially loaded with some of the songs selected by our clients for inclusion in their wedding videos, or music performed and recorded by some of our music video clients. The list will grow with time. And the really cool part is you can request songs to be added to the play list! Simply leave a comment to this blog with the song title and artist. Request new songs, the “classics”, any genre, hidden tracks…anything you think someone might like or want to use for their own wedding or event.
You can use the player for searching out music for your wedding or event, or just turn it on while you’re sitting at your computer and listen while you work. Be sure to check back periodically for music updates. Hope you enjoy!
We had a great time spending Amy and Mike Chitwood’s wedding day with them. They were married at Samford University’s Reid Chapel, which was stunning in it’s fall glory, with reception at the Rotunda Club. Photography by Frank Carnaggio, makeup by Misty Smith, planning and coordination by Aletha Wilson of “With This Ring”, bridal gown and bridesmaid’s dresses by Carriage House, Inc., floral design by Flowerbuds, Inc., special music at the ceremony by Lisa Davis and Stan Putnam of Perfect Events Music, departure transportation by James Coats of Coats Classic Cars. Oh, and Amy also had a surprise carriage awaiting her as she and Mike exited the ceremony provided by Five Points Horse and Carriage. Flanikens string trio provided music at the reception. It’s great working with a great team! Amy and Mike, CONGRATS and enjoy your honeymoon in St. Lucia!
