I copied this from cinematography.com.

Talk about wanting quality coverage [Eek!]

Forget Uncle Ernie and his camcorder....
Heck, forget someone with a Red One.....

Note the line about having a 35mm print for "their home theatre."

35mm DP for Wedding (Beverly Hills)
Date: 2010-11-18, 10:43PM PST

We want our wedding shot in 35mm. (color and B+W) Looking for someone who has a 35mm camera (needs to be quiet) dont want to disturb guests. would like to have about 30/45min of final footage. Final product needs to be edited with music and titles (dialogue not necessary) and 35mm print for our home theater, as well as dvd's Need someone who can do it all, good minimalist, small package/ lites/equip etc. We have a descent budget, but need it to be done by one person, no crews. Wedding is in mid December 2010.

Please contact.........
Compensation: 20/25K (more avail if needed)

...I hope they found someone good, and that they are enjoying the nuptials in blazing 35mm on their screen [Smile]

Out of the ordinary, but nice to see someone doing it.

Claus.

Today, it would be infinitely, more simple to shoot HD video and make a transfer to 35mm print , afterwards. If it was good enough for the last Star Wars movie, it should suffice for their wedding. Although, with some women, this may not be the case.
A single individual could not handle the amount of film , equipment or double system sound equipment necessary, to shoot 35mm.

Yiiiiii!

The shame of it is a great wedding and a great marriage have nothing to do with each other.

Steve,

So true [Big Grin]

I can just see one of the 'aggrieved parties' trying to burn the 35 print years later....

Thomas,

The one camera I can see being compact enough for this would have been the new Aaton Penelope. 2-perf 35mm w. 400-ft mags. I get the impression from how it was written that they didn't need live sound, so maybe....

I finally plucked up courage last night to watch one of my late fathers 9.5mm Kodachrome 1 Weddings as he used to produce filmic records of them for locals living in Kent (UK) from the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s. Sadly we lost Dad last year so quite an emotional screening to wind off a film evening, but interesting to see the colour is still so firm from his efforts. Dad filmed many weddings for people on 9.5mm black and white and colour film for those who could afford it, and he used to take his projectors out to show the final product as well.

Here is a little snippet of one we viewed last night…

Lee,

Lovely, lovely stuff...the color alone is something else. It's the first time I have seen the combo of Kodachrome I and 9.5mm.

This is why I feel "other people's films" should be preserved, even if not by the original owners.

Your dad had a good eye for shooting.

Claus.
