The Important Aspects of Making Movies are Quality and [Time]♡

Using a large screen to show opening movies, profile movies, and end rolls has become a popular performance during wedding receptions♡ By dimming the venue lights, you can focus the guests' attention in one place, bringing laughter and emotion, creating a sense of unity in the venue＊

What is important in movie screenings is, of course, the content and quality of the video, and then [time]! No matter how good the content is, if the movie screening is too long, the audience will get bored, and if it's too short, it might feel abrupt...
