"Available for Rent: What a Great Idea! Setting Up a Fixed-Point Camera at the Venue Sounds Fun!"

Amazing Idea ♡ What do you think about setting up a fixed-point camera?
Weddings are a series of irreplaceably happy moments in every second and every instant*
It would be wonderful to capture the lively atmosphere created by special performances, conversations, and the joyful interactions with guests, as well as the moments when we are away, like during breaks.
So here’s a recommended idea♡
What about setting up a fixed-point camera at the reception venue and recording continuously from start to finish? This would be an exciting idea!♡
When I first learned about this,
I thought,
“This is amazing! Such a nice idea!”
“I want to try this at my reception!”
That was my immediate reaction♩
What do you all think?
Collecting messages is also a delightful bonus*
By setting up a fixed-point camera, you can capture the exciting atmosphere before the reception starts, the nervous moments before entering, and the relaxed vibe during breaks.
The most appealing aspect is being able to later watch the scenes of guests that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.
And...
If you attach a card to the camera saying, “Please leave a message♡”, it’s a wonderful bonus that allows you to collect video messages from your guests♩
If you place it at the entrance of the venue, guests will undoubtedly be curious and think, “What is this...?”
If they leave even a short message, it will be something to look forward to when reviewing it later*
Some guests might even joke around or share memories...?
The genuine interactions and energy from that day will create a precious video that never fades away♡
It’s also nice that you can gather the footage and watch it at home right after the ceremony.
Points to note when preparing a fixed-point camera*
If you want to set up a fixed-point camera at the venue, first consult with your planner to see if it’s feasible and determine installation locations*
On the day of the event, prepare a video camera and tripod, and make sure it is placed in a location that won’t be intrusive.
One important thing to keep in mind is charging!
Since the reception lasts 2 to 3 hours, if the battery runs out during that time, it’s game over! Just thinking about the camera cutting out while the bride is reading her letter is too sad.
Therefore, it’s reassuring to check in advance how long your video camera lasts on a single charge and whether it can be recharged♩
By the way...
Using a video camera like a GoPro, which has an ultra-wide angle, is recommended so that the entire venue can be captured from corner to corner*
It can be expensive to buy, costing around 30,000 to 50,000 yen just for the body, but renting one for the wedding might be a good option. You can usually rent a basic GoPro set for around 5,000 yen.
