Wedding Reception Time Lapse
Wedding Reception Time-Lapse video
Andy Starkey from Staffordshire indie rock wedding band ‘Punch The Air’ is crazy mad into videography. He loves to try out new ideas that no other live wedding entertainment band has thought of before. Sometimes he’ll be watching a TV show or film and think to himself “How did they achieve this effect?” and then attempt to recreate it when you hire an indie rock wedding band. The audio featured in this video is our wedding cover band studio recording (Its not live for a change) of ‘I Love Rock & Roll’ by Joan Jett. Don’t you think it looks completely different?
Andy is one of the hardest working wedding musicians in the industry. Most other bands just chill out before and in-between live wedding performances. Not Andy, he’s running around, setting up video cameras, more microphones and lighting. He has a massive array of cameras and lenses. Therefore his is able to capture the wedding reception band and guests in all it full glory. Rebecca & Matts Wedding Reception Time-Lapse video was recorded over two entire sets. It then took Andy a further 5 hours to edit the wedding video into what you see above. Make sure you watch it from start to finish to appreciate the hard effort in all its glory.
In non timelapse mode here is a full live video of what hiring a professional wedding band can do to your big day.
