A while back, it was mentioned to me that my mother-in-law would like for me to do the photo montage for one of her other daughter's wedding. (No engagement yet, let alone a set date. This is just a "whenever it happens" sort of thing.) Unless something else comes up before then, it would be the closest thing to a "gig" I've ever done, as everything I've done so has been just for fun. Ie, no pressure whatsoever.
So, I've been playing around with the (warning: cliche coming up) Ken Burns effect thing, and I suppose this would do wel enough, especially if care is taken to match up in / out points of each pic at the crossfade.
But then I saw the Found this in my travels thread, and thought maybe I should do something more interesting. Probably not like the 3D one in that thread*, 'cause I'm not sure it'd be right for a traditional wedding (which this will surely be), but at least something a little different than just "pan down, fade, zoom out, fade, repeat." (Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)
Certainly, I would run the possibilities past the bride, groom, and mother before I invest much time in the actual montage, but I think I've got plenty of time to experiment and put together a few demos.
So, anyone see / do anything inspirational in this area?
