Fusion! Fusion? What the heck is Fusion? Sounds like a science experiment...
Well, it IS and it ISN'T. Actually, it's quite simple: Fusion is the name given to a new genre of presentation of photography (as in a slide-show), audio and video, mixed together. The two work together beautifully, and incorporate music (think 'first dance') and audio (think 'vows' and 'toasts').
Audio can deliver your father's voice, perhaps that of your bridesmaids and your vows, long after the event. Voices can be as powerful as images, and the words they bring to your wedding have impact that would otherwise be long forgotten. However, if you build a one-hour video, you might have the anecdote to insomnia. And slideshows - everyone loves a slideshow - for about two minutes. However, put the two together and you've a wonderful remberance of you wedding day that might run about ten minutes or so.
Fusion uses a bit of video to show the what's going on 'behind the scenes' and to segue between moments or parts of the day, but the photographs carry the day the way an album keeps your day. The pictures are not still, because they're panned across, zoomed into, or otherwise moved across the screen, even though they are 'still images'. The audio is played over these to make a very high impact, moving recording of your day, that can be played on your computer, your TV and the web.
The reason that Fusion is new and popular is due to several things: the ability to view short pieces on the web; the ability to deliver on DVD; and the ability of modern, high-end still cameras used by professional photographers to capture video at almost the same moment that a still-frame is captured. That last part is probably the most telling, important part of this new trend.
While the camera might have the ability to capture video and stills, it's a rare photographer that can do both, and do it well. The two arts are different, though both aim at capturing the 'story' of the day, and it can't be emphasized enough that film-making is a completely different art than photography, but today, the same tool can be used for both. And most importantly, audio is not efficiently captured with an on-board mic, and this is yet another complex craft. Mixing them together (motion-picture editing) is yet another art which requires much experience to do well.
In addition to 'Fusion' it's also been dubbed 'Filmotography' and 'Cinematography', both being rather 'wordy' for my tastes, but for lack of anything better, we prefer your 'Wedding Highlights Story' or simply 'Fusion'.
