SDE = they shot this and compiled and edited it in the same day, often presenting it at the reception to the guest. It's INSANE and blows my mind how they can do this.
Seeing as how you are among the list of people that regularly blows my mind... that is really saying something. SM is amazing. I love their stuff. I'm only so-so about their still stuff, but the videos are bananas.
Actually... how do they do it? I'm thinking they have minimally 3 people working the video end of a wedding. 1 shooting the guys getting ready, 1 shooting the girls and 1 shooting the misc. pre-event hype stuff (i.e. prep. or the food, prep of the church, etc.) During the wedding, the 3rd guys takes the footage collected by all 3 pre-wedding and begins to edit. I have no experience with the 5DmkII but I do have some video experience and I'm guessing the 5DmkII digitally time stamps all of the videos and if they are all synced then the clips will come in, in a roughly chronological order, which is how you're going to tell the story anyway. I'm sure they have a pretty good idea of the story their going tot ell before they shoot it, so I'm guessing that in the hour or so during the wedding, the 3rd guy can get it in pretty good shape and then he's just waiting for the other two to come back with the ceremony footage.
I am by no means trying to take anything away from what they do... they are obviously tremendously talented, but if they have a good idea of the story they want to tell it isn't so hard... Obviously I have completely glossed over the whole creative aspect of it.. and how they actually come up with that story.
