Home Movies by Motus | DIY Camcorder Rental Kits

Motus Weddings · Home Movies

A Camera, Your People,
and the Truest Film of Your Weekend.

We ship you a camcorder. Your friends and family film everything the schedule never makes room for. You send it back, we cut it into a home movie you'll actually rewatch.

A Different Door Into The Same House

Not A Smaller Version.
A Different Thing Entirely.

Our studio work runs into five figures, and there's a reason for it. Two artists on your day, real 35mm, Super 8, and 16mm film running through actual cameras, weeks in the edit. It's the best thing we make, and it isn't the right fit for every budget. That's always bothered us.

So we built this. Not the wedding film with the good parts removed. A home movie, made the way home movies are supposed to be made: by the people who actually love you.

Here's what we actually believe: the most honest footage of your wedding was never going to come from a tripod in the back of the room. It comes from your sister filming your mom the second she loses it. Your best friend narrating the reception like a nature documentary. Everything Motus makes lives under one idea we call Cinéma Sauvage, truthful cinema in wild places. A camera in your people's hands all weekend, catching what a hired crew is never standing close enough to see, is that idea in its rawest form. You film it. We make it feel like a film.

Comes With Every Kit

A Few Things We Throw In

No markup games, no add-on invoices later. These come standard.

Included

Every Raw Clip, Yours Forever

Not just the edit. Every second every camera caught, organized in your PicTime gallery, so you have the whole weekend, not just the parts we chose.

Included

A Real Opening Title

Your home movie opens with a proper title card in the Motus house style, your names and your date, so it starts like a film instead of a phone dump.

Ask Us

The Honeymoon Option

Keep your kit a little longer and take it on the honeymoon. Ask us about extending your rental so we can cut a second film from that footage too, subject to availability.

How It Works

Six Steps. That's It.

No confusing checkout, no gear to buy, nothing to charge overnight.

01

Reserve Your Kit

Tell us your date, your names, and VHS or Digital. No deposit. We hold your weekend.

02

It Lands On Your Doorstep

Your kit arrives 3–4 days before your first event, pre-charged, loaded, and tested. Nothing to set up.

03

Put It In Your People's Hands

This is the whole point. Hand it to whoever can't stop laughing. Let it move all weekend, rehearsal dinner through last dance.

04

Box It Back Up

When the weekend's over, everything goes back in the box it came in. Prepaid label included, both directions on us.

05

We Watch Every Second

Every clip, every camera, the shaky stuff included. We cut it into a real film, not a template.

06

Your Film Arrives

Within 3–5 weeks of us receiving your kit back, your finished film and every raw clip land in your PicTime gallery.

Our
Promise
to You
Our Commitment

We Show Up Ready.
Every Single Kit.

It arrives ready. Every kit ships charged, tested, and loaded. If something's wrong when it lands, tell us and we'll get a working kit to you before your event, not after.

We watch all of it. Every second, every camera, the dark and shaky clips included. If your people caught it, it gets considered for the film.

Shipping's on us. Both directions, no deposit, no invoice waiting for you at the end.

Limited Availability

We Only Own So Many Cameras.

Each kit can only be at one wedding on a given weekend, and we only own a handful. Colorado summers book up fast. If your date is close, or falls between May and October, reach out now so we can hold a kit before it's spoken for.

Good Questions

Before You Reserve

When should we book?

As soon as you know you want one. We only own a handful of kits, and each one can only be in one place a weekend, so earlier is safer, especially in peak season (May through October).

When will our kit arrive?

3–4 days before your first event, charged, loaded, and tested. Nothing to set up, nothing to charge overnight.

Is the camera hard to use?

Not at all. If your least tech-savvy guest can find their way to your registry, they can run this camera. Point, shoot, pass it on.

When do we get our film?

Within 3–5 weeks of us receiving your kit back. We watch everything before we cut a single frame, that takes a little time, and it's worth it.

Can we use this for something other than a wedding?

Yes. Rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, honeymoons, reunions, any weekend worth keeping. Tell us your date and we'll hold a kit.

What if something isn't working when it arrives?

Message us right away. We'll get a working kit to you before your event, not after.

We already booked Motus for our wedding, does this apply to us?

A Field Kit is already included free in your Full Day or Multi-Day collection. Reach out and we'll get it scheduled, or ask us about the two-camera upgrade.
