Camera's Eye

I'm in the middle of editing the wedding video and it feels like I'm attending the wedding for the first time. When I was shooting on December 1, it didn't feel like I was there at the wedding. I was merely working on auto-pilot as I framed each scene with the camera. This happens all the time when I'm filming. I concentrate so much on getting the shot that I'm not actually absorbing the moment (the event) itself. When I actually take everything in while editing, I'm getting a somewhat superhuman experience because I'm seeing the event through the camera's eye. I get more details than the majority of guests sitting in the church because of the zoomed scenes. I get to hear the dialog without the distraction of ambient sound in the room.
