Katie + Som – Whimsy – Rancho Santa Fe Wedding Cinema

I don’t know how these two found this venue but it was lovely! This was the first wedding at the Valentino Estate. Whimsical trees and a quiet pond surround the ceremony location and Katie had these wonderful glass orbs hanging from the trees. I loved all the little details, the way she displayed the name cards and unity sand photo frame. And their friends put together a flash mob dance to Rihanna’s Umbrella to kick off the dancing. So fun 🙂

enjoy!

Event Cinema Workshop – Chicago

We had a wonderful time at the Event Cinema Workshop in Chicago a few weeks ago. We learned so much from Stillmotion, Pacific Pictures and Joe Simon Films. The first day we spent learning from the three and boy did we learn a lot! At the end of the first day we were put into random groups and were told that we would be working on a project the next day together. So that night we all got together with our groups to decide the roles for each person and plan the film. The rules: 4 hours to shoot a 30-60 second film, to the theme ‘Time’, edited to a particular piece of music, no dialogue and we had use of a model.

The second day we learned more and then broke off to shoot our films! It was a fun and challenging experience because we’re not used to being able to have so much control and planning out shots. Chicago was fun to shoot and our model turned out to be a great actress as well, which was a pleasant surprise. After we all finished shooting we all got the footage and every person could edit their own version. We just found out that my version of our team’s video was chosen as a finalist for some prizes that are on the line! So exciting 🙂

So…if I could ask once again, please take a minute to vote for my edit of Time (from Kevin’s team – team A woot!)

Reema + Manu – Hilton Torrey Pines – San Diego Wedding Cinema

It was so fun getting to spend so much time with these families over the weekend. We started the evening before the wedding with the Sangeet full of family performances, delicious food and dancing. You might notice a group of people all dancing the same moves who all memorized the routine of Jai Ho (the song at the end of Slumdog Millionaire) That was awesome!! The celebrations continued the next morning in the rain as they put on all their beautifully detailed attire and headed to the ceremony starting with Manu on horseback – luckily the rain ceased for that part of the day. After a fourteen hour day for us, filled with wonderful food, it ended with the Vidai farewell. Congratulations you two.

enjoy!

We’re so excited that you all voted for our recent short film for the Stillmotion contest! We won the Chicago Event Cinema Workshop with Patrick from Stillmotion, Kevin from Pacific Pictures, and Joe from Joe Simon Wedding Films. It was a whirlwind this past week, finding out we won, buying plane tickets and spending two packed amazing days full of great info, community and practice. We are so thankful for being able to have this opportunity and can’t wait to improve our cinema with what we’ve learned.

Here’s our winning video – an answer to the question, what inspires your cinema? And you can find links to our videos from past contests here (‘gateway‘, ‘isolation‘ and our first and favorite, ‘found‘)

Carrie & Tim – Long Beach Museum of Art – Long Beach Wedding Cinema

Fun fun, all around! Carrie and Tim are so cute, I loved the decor and the newlywed game they played right after the grand entrance. The favors were cute little planted succulents and the name cards were made out of cut up skateboards – such a cool idea! We had a great time with you guys, congratulations and enjoy 🙂

Annamarie & Chris – Modern Romance – Your Story Video

This couple is so awesome!! We just shot their wedding last night, which was a ton of fun, and aired their ‘Your Story’ video we shot a little while back. They are big fans of the TV show Modern Family and so we shot their story in homage to that show. It seemed like a big hit, they definitely got the crowd laughing and cheering with their comedy. We had a blast making this with them and hope you enjoy it 🙂

 

Emily & Ricardo – San Diego Botanic Gardens – San Diego Wedding Cinema

Emily and Ricardo had a lovely picnic themed wedding at the Botanic Gardens. Their ceremony was so pretty with the light that day and their reception was so fun. They had all different kinds of hamburgers and the favors were mini ketchup and mustard bottles. Emily’s friends had a band who played throughout the night and they really kept the party going! The grand exit was cool too, using colorful streamers which turned out really cute. Congratulations Emily and Ricardo, we loved all the beauty at your wedding!
