Rosalie & Philip’s Wedding Highlights from Visionary Productions on Vimeo.

“Edit that?” That is what the bridesmaids kept asking me to do and I did! What a challenging highlights and so worth it. The whole bridal party was a blast to film and this is why I love my career. Thanks Rosalie & Philip for allowing me to be creative.

Favorite parts?
*Editing to the beat during the bridal procession.
*Second, the different color & skin tones (blue) I came up with during color correction process but I’m still experimenting and learning. I like what I see but I will perfect it on the next one.

Sophia & Eseckia’s Pre-Wedding (Version 2 Part 1) from Visionarypro LLC (Archives) on Vimeo.

Flashback of one of my favorite edits and wedding. (2008)

For me, Sophia & Keseckias was one of the first interviews I did in 2008. I felt like Barbara Walters or Oprah doing the interview. This project was a big learning experience. Again as a visual artist I’m not a big fan of just cinematically fliming a wedding. If that was my only purpose then call me a videographer who edits with great music. Really one of my main purpose is capture pockets of stories that happen throughout the day. Weather funny or sad the stories create a bigger story and colorful feel of whom I’m filming. If was unable to do that, just call it a pretty wedding video. :o)

Assistant Editor: Sonya Paclob

Note: In postproduction I didn’t focus my time on color matching the cameras but more on the stories and pacing which comes first.

Where did this video idea come from? Arlene and Raymond didn’t have any idea what they wanted to create. Usually my clients don’t and we end up just shooting random artistic shots on the beach, park, city, etc… So to take this video into a different direction I asked them four simple questions. How did you meet? What are your pet peeves about each other? What do you like to do during a date and what are your hobbies? The answers were, they first met at Starbucks and love to go to the movies. Raymond pet peeve about Arlene is that her feet gets cold easy and likes to put on socks during a movie. Arlene pet peeve about Raymond is that she is amazed how fast he eats which is probably a habit from being in the military. Raymond also loves to play basketball and Arlene loves to dress up. With these few answers I knew what to create for them, a cute video with a beginning middle and end that tells a semi story about who they are.

One of my favorites! I really enjoyed filming Julie and Marc and most all editing their wedding.

My most favorite scene? Julie’s mom ironing. It’s not the most artistic shot, it is what she said. Reminds me of my mom.

Now I can’t wait to shoot the next wedding with my new DSLRs.

Camera used - FX-1000

Technical note for other videographers: Reception had blue gel lights in the ceilings. Not sure how to color balance for that.

*Mei & Ryan was such a great couple to work with!

*Still need to adjust color grade to match.

*I think dialog is more important than visuals. When shooting weddings, creative cinematic shots are very important. But whats being said is more important. For me, paying attention to phrases and thoughts comes first before visuals. You won’t see me without my headsets on a shoot when listening to a wedding.
