Just cause I thanked the guy...I was a bit worried we were in for a verbal fest..summer style 2010.

I am not totally against pre-recorded intros....but I prefer live intros.


Now unless..and this is completely unless..the Bride and Groom have spent time rehaearsing for the pre recorded entrances..just in case something does happen.


I am hoping Hank, can share a small clip of at least what he is talking about.

(I'm not sure if that statement is pro CD or con.)

Convenient, yes....easy, no.
The PC doesn't give you talent, ability or vision.

Do you measure a DJ's greatness on their level of difficulty or the end result?

Honestly, how often has something gone wrong on the wedding party's end of the intros? You hear your name, you walk in. If that calls for someone to rehearse, their problem is not me.

Again, a screw up can happen whether it's live or not. It's still a screw up. There's only one way for it to work and that's the way it's written. Yesterday's recorded intros (which I did only because I had the stuff out) went off without a hitch. In fact, the only people that noticed that they were recorded were the the staff.

They were like.."Hank, I heard you, but your mouth wasn't moving!"
They actually thought it was cool.

Today's intros are the ones I actually intended to record. I will try to have a staff member video tape it, but I can't promise anything.

Anyway, I don't expect everyone to agree with what I am doing. I just like to think outside of the box. I always have been the "Rage Against The Machine".

(BTW, Jon has heard the intros)

:sqwink:
 
I do the individualized intros, with music and sound clips, fairly often. My largest so far was an 18 member wedding party. I've considered pre-recording, but my routine is pretty solid (RockIt helps a lot) so I've never spent the time to explore the pre-record method. Plus I have a tendency to make last minute edits to the scripts based on that days events or after meeting the wedding party.

I do have an event coming up where pre-recording the intros may help with a different issue, I'll let you know more when it happens.

Good luck with it Hank, looking forward to your feedback!
 
I do the same things as the need arises no more no less
 
I almost did the same thing once, but thank God I didn't...one of the groomsmen could make it at the last minute, so the B&G changed the lineup order.
 
Well, it worked and the world didn't come to an end.

The video sucks because I had no one to run it and left it on table.
However, here is the original track. All went well and we had a great time as you can see in the added clips.

Thanks for all the input and support gang. If anything, this only proves that there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Very true.... but talent, ability and vision don't need to be pre-recorded, agreed? I think if you've been in this business long enough to survive, you should be able to do a bridal party of 10 with different song cues for each couple live.. why the pre-recording?

Right....I have been in the business long enough to survive (18 years) and I CAN do a bridal party of 10 with different song cues for each couple live.

You see, the thing is, with the new technology.....I don't always have to.

Therefore, there's nothing more for me to prove or say on the matter. Thanks for your opinion (whoever you are :sqwink:).

So I have to ask.. what did you do while the announcements played? Stood there? Disappeared and worked cues backstage?

How is this any different than lip syncing?

I'm not attacking you, as you've been very professional in your response.. but your answers spark more questions!
