Marriages are made in heaven and celebrated on earth but are captured best in 3D. The 3D technology,confined so far to films and games,is being increasingly used to record weddings and other family functions in the city.
Affordable,these 3D family videos can be viewed using a TV and DVD player and no state-of-the-art electronic appliance is needed.
They can also be seen on computers and projected screens.
Yogesh Dhede,who pioneered the art of shooting 3D family videos in Pune,said shooting weddings and such events in 3D is new to Puneites,but is picking up.
I have made 3D videos of about 11 customers this years wedding season. All of them were initially excited to hear the concept of shooting their wedding ceremony in 3D. And,when they saw it,the joy of families was worth seeing, he told Newsline.
While the cost of a 3D video is almost double that of 2D video,customers receive a set of both while placing orders for 3D video. They also get a set of goggles needed for 3D viewing.
It is understood that every time it cannot be possible for families or guests to wear goggles and watch 3D videos of weddings or other function. Therefore,we also offer 2D videos with our package. Customers get value for money even if they think they are paying more, Yogesh said,who has spent around Rs 3 lakh on experimenting and devising the technique of 3D shoots for households.
Irfan Khan,an entrepreneur who tied the knot in October last year and had frozen the moment on 3D video,said it was an unbelievable experience to watch scenes of the marriage in 3D. It was an enthralling experience for all of us when we watching the video for the first time. I could impress my better half and in-laws at one go, he said.
Jyoti Pathak,who has decided to settle for nothing less than a 3D video for her elder sons wedding,said,It was great to hear weddings can be filmed using 3D technology.
