The Godfather did it, so did
Superman , George Lucas is infamous for doing it with
Star Wars and recently quite a few videography clients have caught on to the trend too. What am I talking about? Re-edits.
A lot of what is seen and heard in a wedding or civil partnership DVD is 100% family friendly and suitable for everyone to see. There may be the odd occasion (and without pointing fingers, we're looking at you, Best Man) where during the speeches a more risque joke gets made. Most of the guests find it very witty and clever but maybe it's not something you want grandparents or elderly relatives to hear on their copy of the final movie. This is where the re-edit comes in.
We have found that recently a few clients have requested a slightly cut version of their wedding / civil partnership movie. This re-edited version of the film has all the same content but has a few tweaks during the speeches to remove the slightly more blue humour. Now, we're not talking about the worlds most offensive jokes here; it should be noted that the content that gets removed from "The Grandmother Edition" is mostly suitable for everyone - but perhaps sometimes it's things you'd rather the more senior members of your family don't hear!
Re-edits can be done on the film with relative ease, as long as the re-edit isn't more than one hours editing time we will charge no extra for this service. Most films will not need any such re-edits but we think it's always nice to provide reassurance that if things do get a little bit blue, we can always provide a special cut of the movie! Problem solved.
