When capturing your very special day, wedding filmmakers have many tools in their proverbial shed! One of the increasingly popular formats right now is what’s known as a Super8 style. Here’s what Steve from Glass Eye Video had to say on his blog recently …
I’ve been so excited to make this post and announce that we have entered the world of Super 8 film! This has been a long time coming as I wanted to make sure I chose the right equipment and processing lab to handle my productions. After being inspired by the giants of the industry, I knew this was something I had to get into as well. The look, the feel, the raw emotion that is pulled from the film is something that simply cannot be imitated and is truly breathtaking. I filmed my first wedding a couple weeks ago and the bride was completely blown away by it.
More from Steve at Glass Eye Video … “Without a doubt, one of the greatest weddings I’ve had the honor of being a part of was Christy and Tom’s. St. Xavier Church was just the beginning that night. The reception at Music Hall was incredibly unique and insanely gorgeous, thanks to Brigid Horne-Nestor of i-do! Weddings and Events! Not one, but TWO live bands kept the guests entertained throughout the evening, including my favorite local band, The Rusty Griswolds. I’ve never seen a dance floor come alive like the one that night, it was AMAZING! I had the great pleasure of working along side Tine Hofmann, who was there snapping beautiful pictures one after the other! This was the first wedding I filmed in Super 8 and it was the perfect wedding to cover in this beautiful medium. It’s truly amazing how the film brings a whole new life to the images in a way that simply cannot be achieved with any other medium. I had the film processed in widescreen format to give it a modern twist and to help it flow with the HD footage that I shot that day as well. I hope you enjoy their teaser! The song is ‘Love and Some Verses’ by Iron & Wine.”
We, too hope you enjoyed the clip from Christy and Tom’s wedding. For more examples of Steve’s work, check out his website and blog.
A huge thanks to Little Black Book member, Tine Hofmann at TM Photography for providing the very lovely photos!
Kudos to SMP for featuring Glass Eye! Steve is an AMAZING videographer and I recommend him regularly. And I love the Iron & Wine song choice :)
I am officially having my wedding day taped! I've tossed & turned, but I hope I can capture it like it was here! Wonderful work.
Beautiful work by Steve and Tine, some of my favorite Cincinnati vendors! you guys rock!
I had an opportunity to see this before and Steve does great work and one of the nicest guys you will meet. He loves what he does and is very laid back, a combination, which will benefit his clients on their wedding day. Great work Steve.
Wow, what a huge combination of amazing talent on display today: Tine, Steven, and Brigid. All amazingly talented and all three also happen to have fantastic personalities. Lucky clients!
Oops, meant Steve :-) not Steve(n)...typing too fast...
Steve is innovative and a video genius. Never settling for the ordinary and always pushing the envelope in ways you'd never expect. It's always thrilling to see what he'll come up with next!
I was so lucky to have Steve shoot and edit my wedding when he was first starting Glass Eye. He came highly recommended and I surely know why. Steve seemed to capture every feeling, every little thing of the day, many of which I would have otherwise missed out on. He is a highly talented individual and most importantly, is AMAZING to work with. I continue to visit Glass Eye's website to see the new weddings that Steve shoots. I only wish that Glass Eye would have had the menu of services that they have now back in 2005. :) How amazing to have my trailer in Super8! Not to mention the same-day editing; would have loved to have highlights at my reception. Kudos to Steve and to Style Me Pretty for featuring his work!
I am so happy to see Glass Eye Video featured here!
I happen to be a huge fan of Steve and his work!
His exceptional talent and ability to come up with
unique and clever concepts are truly inspiring!
Those bride's that come to Steve, surely know what they're doing! Lucky ladies they are!

Steve is an amazing cinematic artist... and the best part is, he's incredibly down to earth and easy to work with. I've been a huge fan of Glass Eye Video for years. It's so exciting to see the company expanding into a national market!!
Steve is by far the most talented person in the industry that I have dealt with. His hard work, and perseverance has made Glass Eye Video the succesful, trusted, and well known name it is today. Keep up the good work Steve!!!!
I've had the opportunity to see quite a bit of Steve's work over the past year and I have to say, it's fantastic! His work with wedding videos is unique and truly captures all of the emotions of the big day. Great job, Steve!
That is fantastic work Steve! It's amazing how a wedding can be captured when it is by the right person. Very inspiring!
