Eric and Michelle Same Day Edit Wedding Video

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 11:31:23 +0000

The couple’s personalities are opposite – it was evident during the production meeting and even during the previous Facebook and Yahoo! Messenger chats. Michelle is full of life while Eric is silent. As Michelle gives her energetic instructions for the same day edit wedding video, Eric simply smiles and listens.

But on the day wedding preparations, to some extent Michelle was not bubbly. I’ve seen a lot of brides and they tend to act differently during the wedding due to mixed emotions and excitement. Now the challenge was how to make the same day edit wedding video look fun that best describe the bride. This was a requirement actually by her.

On the other hand, Eric was still quiet but his entourage changed the atmosphere. Cheerful messages were given during the interviews that have eventually made the same day edit wedding video interesting.

The wedding was held last February 15, 2010 at the Santuario de San Antonio. And the on-the-day wedding preparation and reception was at Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

Internet Superstars Aileen Apolo and Jay de Jesus Wedding

admin — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 05:19:25 +0000

A day after Christmas, internet superstars Aileen Apolo and Jay de Jesus tied the knot at the Mary The Queen Parish Church in Greenhills. The who’s who in the Philippine blogsphere attended the wedding. Janette Toral was among the principal sponsors, who introduced the two during one of the Digital Filipino events. Aileen is the Philippines’ country consultant for Google, while Jay is the owner of TitikPilipino.com.

We prepared two videos for the wedding. First was the prenup love story wedding video and the same day edit wedding video featuring the highlights of the on-the day wedding preps and the ceremony highlights.

Prenup wedding video:

The prenup video was inspired from the movie “500 Days of Summer”. Aileen and Jay’s love story wedding video was entitled “800 Clicks” – well, the couple, as we all know spend most of thier time online. The first click was the first meeting and the 800th click was the wedding day.

Same Day Edit wedding video:

As early ay 4:30am we were already at the Crowne Plaza Hotel for the wedding preps. Only then we decided what music to be used for the same day edit wedding video. Jay’s first choice was the Araw Gabi by Robert Sena but we didn’t have the copy, so we decided to look for an alternative from his CDs. There we saw Richard Poon’s revival of “You and I”. I personally love this song. In fact, it was one of the songs sung during our own wedding, and I was surprised it has a version by Richard Poon.

Jay suggested to use 2 versions, the one with the lyrics and the minus one. It was a great idea. I used the minus one version during the interview portions to avoid distractions and viewers can concentrate on the message more than the lyrics. Though it requred more effort during the editing process, it was effective and worth the effort. For so many wedding videos I produced and so many brides I interviewed, only Aileen surprised me when she mentioned that she had this dream of walking down the aisle for so many times for a decade but she never saw who was the groom waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Until one day she dreamt that it was Jay, then after that dream, the relationship started to blossom.

Khalil and Inah Same Day Edit Wedding Video

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 03:36:14 +0000

Last month, I got a call from Inah. It was surprising because soon-to-wed couples normally book their wedding videographer at least 6 months before the wedding. Soon-to wed couples today have changed their behavior not just towards wedding videography, but also in booking other wedding suppliers. Why? The wedding industry is rapidly growing and more and more wedding suppliers come around.

Before Inah called, she’s done her research already; she knows what she wanted for her wedding video. She watched my wedding videos including Former PNP Chief Art Lomibao and Jacky Tui’s wedding. You know what? Inah’s dad is the current PNP Chief of Caloocan City.

Khalil and Inah were among our few young couples with very minimal specifications for their wedding video, yet, very happy with the result. Watch the same day edit wedding video.

Malaysian Couple 9.9.9, 9am Wedding in Manila

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:10:24 +0000

Alex and Beatrice 9.9.9 at 9am Wedding in Manila.

Why in the Philippines? Alex and Beatrice, both Malaysians, have decided to be wed at San Agustin Church last September 9, 2009 at 9am. The reason? It’s simple: Alex and Beatrice are Christian Catholics. They were greatly attracted to the churches in Manila, specially San Agustin Church.

Beatrice first contacted me as early as March of this year, from then on, we became constant Yahoo! Messenger and Facebook buddies. Two weeks before the wedding, I met Alex and Beatrice in Manila to help them find a photographer, gown designer, florist, bridal car and restaurant reservations. Would you believe that I even decided the menu for the reception at Barbara’s in Intramuros? It was really cool.

Anyways, 9.9.9 came and I instantly became a wedding coordinator. It’s quite hard doing wedding videography while coordinating. Whew…But since Alex and Beatrice and party was just a small group, it’s not hard to handle the wedding prep and wedding ceremony.

The reception was so simple because a grand reception will be happening on January in Malaysia, which I’m going to document also. The reception at Barbara’s was more on a simple lunch treat of the couple for their guests, but surprisingly, it was fun. I’m so amazed on how they celebrate such occasions. It’s entirely different from the way we celebrate. Well, I don’t understand most of the conversations, but I was surprised that so many Filipino words are used by them also.

The best part were the events after the wedding. Me and my family were also at the hotel to accompany them for the shopping around the Metro, dinner at Kamayan-Saisaki, and of course, the tattoo sessions. Thanks to Led Tuyay of Kamikazee for the tattoo artist who agreed to come over at the hotel.

So many more stories to tell but I guess I have to end it here. To Alex and Beatrice, when I go to Malaysia, I hope I will not get lost in your malls, too, LOL.

A wedding video highlight will be edited to be shown at the Malaysian wedding reception.

And wedding video teaser soon…

Rommel and Marivic Same Day Edit Wedding Video

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 03:53:50 +0000

A good wedding video always starts with a good concept. The real challenge for a wedding videographer is to execute the said concept given the limited editing time for the Same Day Edit wedding video.

Kiko and Eileen Same Day Edit is a perfect example of a perfect concept. Rommel was present during that wedding event and he told us that he was impressed. That was 3 years ago, but Rommel and Marivic booked us to be their wedding videographer as well.

Rommel and Marivic Same Day Edit wedding video has its own challenges. How the two met is an important part in the video. Marivic is a friend of Kiko, while Rommel is a cousin of Eileen. Therefore, it was Kiko and Eileen who introduced the two to each other.

It was a long distance relationship. Rommel is based in L.A. while Marivic is in Manila. Their day-to-day typical life apart is by going online everyday. The couple wanted a chatting session to be included too in the same day wedding video.

It took me a hard time documenting the chatting session from two different hotel rooms. Imagine directing two scenes in two different locations but you can only be in one location. Well, I can say it was all worth it. These kinds of requests set apart our wedding videography style from the rest of Philippine wedding videographers.

Wedding Video is not just for the bride…Carroll and Gladys Wedding

admin — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:03:23 +0000

Yes, it’s always the bride and the groom and the families and friends. But most wedding video coverages focus on the bride specially during the on-the-day wedding preps.

That’s why the Reality Wedding Video coverage team made it sure that Carroll, the groom will have exposure more than the usual coverage for the groom, and so we covered him while he was at the gym and spa.

This same day edit wedding video is more than the usual. Why? We used 4 songs for the entire presentation. Not only that, we had crane set-up too, inside the church.

Watch the same day edit wedding video.

Life apart…Carroll and Gladys Love Story Wedding Video.

The objective is to show the life of the couple while Carroll, the groom is in the United States and Gladys, the bride is in the Philippines. This was done by taking home videos and cell phone footages by the couple themselves.

The wedding preps was also on the highlights and it was well documented.

What I did on the other hand were the interviews and prenup footages. But the real challenge was developing the story and putting all these things together from 10 hours raw footages into a 7-10 minutes presentation.

It took me several days to come out with the final edit.

Watch the love story wedding video.

A Japanese – Filipino Christian Wedding: Nobuyuki and Elena Kiyozuka Wedding Videos

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:52:43 +0000

One of a kind Hello Kitty themed wedding of Nobuyuki and Elena Kiyozuka, a Japanese – Filipino Christian wedding held at Patio Isabel y Jardin on July 18, 2009.

When I asked Ms. Elena why “Hello Kitty”, she said, it’s her favorite cartoon character. Her bedroom in Japan is a Disney Land full of Hello Kitty. Name it and she all have them in different forms, shapes and sizes. She also added that she grew up in a poor family that can’t even afford to buy any stuff toys, and so this time, collecting Hello Kitty is her recreation and past time. She also added that given her past, she is proud of her humble beginnings.

Mr. Nobuyuki was in full support. He knows this makes her bride happy, and so he involved himself also in looking for unique Hello Kitty wedding souvenirs.

Now, the same day edit wedding video is full of feelings. Truly personal vows are coming from within, and the video captured as it is, revealing the heart and soul of the couple.

The Love Story wedding video is an overpowering love story. Her life as she struggled to survive together with her son Yoshihiro who was just 5 years old then. She met Nobuyuki, and they started as a friends, business partners and advisers. Without their knowing they fell in love. The couple’s love affair was unknown to the people around them for 16 years.

The final edited wedding video is not only a situation of heartfelt emotions but a mix of funny scenes as well. Given the personality of the bride, who will not laugh out loud while she is wearing her wedding gown…?

Wedding Highlight production soon…

We all enjoyed, even the witty yet very sensible couple themselves, the post wedding interview. And also they were very kindhearted.

Awesome wedding party, awesome wedding videography – Alex and Kathy Wedding

admin — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 21:01:18 +0000

Wedding video coverage started at the wedding reception capturing the venue set-up, from the decorations, flower table tops, sound system, etc. The make-up and pictorial of the bride with natural sounds, including Pat Dy’s, the photographer, instructions, makes you feel the moment. Stories behind the making of the gown will make you appreciate the gown more. And Bizu’s executive chef preparing the food is also part of the video. Whew…too much effort indeed. Most of all, the first kiss just right after the wedding ceremony rocks!
