FOR CLARIFICATION
āfound your footage/sourced your footageā doesnāt mean I lost it and then have found it, it means I have searched for the next set of RAWs in the abundance of externals and SDs of weddings I have to go through and then located all of the bits needed ie drone footage, any audio and raw video files.
Clients whom have got a lot of emotion tied up in their wedding video due to dying family members, ill family, deceased family have been scared and upset, messaging me as theyāve been told Iāve lost chunks of RAWs. Now donāt get me wrong, this unfortunately can happen as technology can always be somewhat unreliable, but to scaremonger people in to saying Iāve lost months of footage without any evidence to back this up is absolutely absurd. Please, āFiona Nightingaleā stop reading so much in to the wording of a post!
Sarah D-ās wedding ceremony was unfortunately unable to be located and Iāve spent a good couple of months relentlessly trying everything I could think of. This too now has been recovered so please, stop with the unnecessary ārumoursā.
Screenshots of snippets of a client conversation attached so people can see this is not the case.
Staying out of drama and negativity gets you a long way.
There was some content creation that did get deleted in a situation which I will not go in to detail about as the people involved know the details, but to lie and say Iāve lost months of footage for full films is uncalled for.
ALSO
RAW files are exactly that, in their RAWEST form. It will be overexposed, unexposed, lots of pointing at the floor, fumbly shots, blurry bits etc
An editor takes the RAWs and makes something watchable and wonderful from that. Itās what you do with the RAWs that makes your wedding video what it is. Sometimes youāll only get a 2second clip out of a minute long video, but itās HOW you edit that into the end project that matters. I think people are expecting this watchable incredible footage which will not be the case until is is edited in to a final film.
