Marryoke - Wedding Video Aberdeen

As promised, here is my first ever go at a Marryoke. Clare had contacted me prior to the wedding to see if it would be possible to replace my usual post ceremony highlights with a marryoke piece. I'll admit I was a little hesitant as it was new to me but agreed in any case as I like these little challenges and trying something new.

Matthew wasn't entirely convinced by the idea but certainly got into the spirit of it on the day.

My helper was to be Clare's good friend, Alison. Alison was fantastic on the day and I doubt I could have pulled it off without her as she was amazing at rounding up all the necessary guests. She was also cueing up the line for everyone on the CD player.

Would I do anything differently......well yes, I have to admit. The CD player that was used wasn't the best as it had no counter reading to gauge minutes and seconds on the track so we spent a lot of time fast forwarding and rewinding. It also became apparent that the CD player quite enjoyed skipping back to the start of the track if a button was even vaguely pressed with the wrong force. It would have been far better to split every line into a separate track with the previous line as a count in.

The main problem with the track (the charity version of Perfect Day) is that every line is sung by a different artist and every artist has their own vocal style which makes every line quite unique. So, a guest would listen to their cue line and of course the next line is quite unexpected in tone....but we got there.

I've seen a few recently that have used Don't Stop Me Know by Queen. This would be a much easier track to do I think as everyone is familiar with Freddies style even if he isn't their cup of tea.

But, imperfections aside, I think it's a success. I think it portrays the great deal of fun everyone had on Clare and Matt's big day and it was a genuine pleasure to be involved and have such a great laugh with everyone during the marryoke filming. See what you think.....
