Traditional Indian Wedding in 15 Minutes (stop-motion)

The following is a 'stop-motion/motion-picture' video made from still-images and HD footage which shows an entire, full-scale Indian wedding in all its glory in under 15 minutes.

This is from our friends Rubina and Hitesh's wedding held at the Hilton in Hua Hin, Thailand. Both of whom were kind enough to be such magnificent hosts and more than that a truly beautiful, romantic and picture-friendly couple!

Still-pictures are from multiple 5d mark-IIs, video footage is from the Sony-EX1 and EX3 on Glidecam Pro. Music is called "Yesterday & Today", by unknown artist (please do inform me if you happen to know whom). Edited on Edius 5.11.

The concept for this video is inspired by another video from vimeo, here vimeo.com/2721992 by Eric Testroete. Although I felt the pictures flicked a bit too fast (for my eyes) and felt dizzy after some time, hence I tried my best to maintain the slowest pace possible, and used different still-picture camera angles to tell and support the story.

Comments and suggestions welcome!
