It’s kinda how I feel. Still churning out the end of summer editing backlog. Sure doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for this blog, so I figured I would go ahead and get one done while waiting for some footage to render. Mostly I’m just going to post clips of some of the stuff I’ve finished in the past month or so.
Mark and Jennifer’s wedding was great. The setting at a friends house on Henderson inlet was a beautiful location, and the sun gave everything a golden kind of hue that day. It kind of colored everything in a way that looks great, really almost film-like…
Hey Ken!
We just watched the DVD and everything came out sooo good! Thank you so much, you were really able to get a feeling of the day without actually being there.
Mark and Jennifer -
Next is Omayra and James. A little back story -
Quite a while back, little over a year or so, I was starting to get really serious about this videography as a business thing. After producing, directing, writing and editing a TV show for the 8 years I did it, I was determined to make this my living. No one was stopping me but myself.
My calendar wasn’t exactly full. Video Production was still a supplemental portion of my life. I needed to make industry contacts. I needed to network.
Firing off e-mails and phone calls to wedding planners and venues and flower shops and bridal boutiques yielded less than stellar results. Needless to say, there was frustration.
One day I drove past “Omayra’s Bridal Boutiqe” on Capitol, just south of Linwood in Tumwater. I decided to stop in and introduce myself. Things went well, and on September 3rd of this year, I filmed her and James’ wedding.
Here’s the clip -
Omayra loved the video so much that we will be giving DVD’s of the wedding out as promotional material for her and myself at Omayra’s Bridal Boutique!
Next is a couple that met at the University of Washington in an engineering program. Yongjun, Dingding and I met to discuss their wedding videography, and everything moved forward. Yongjun and Dingding are both from China, and their wedding was fantastic. I’m always excited about any opportunity to experience cultures other than my own. Yongjun had requested I film from the front of the church, facing the audience. This is not my usual shooting location, so I was a tad worried about lighting, but overall everything came out great. It was a lot of fun, and another beautiful wedding in Seattle!
Well I think that’s about it for this time. I have quite a few more wedding videos in the edit backlog, a couple of Quinceanera’s to complete, a benefit golf tournament, the Sweet Adelines concert, oh wow. What a workload I’ve shouldered! Yeah, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, but I gotta keep crankin. Churning. Like a factory. A high quality factory of course, as you can see for yourself above!
