A couple of updates here in the second week of January are needed.

Like that snow? Ridiculous.  Glad it’s gone, really.  When I plunged a yardstick in to the flattest area of my backyard it read 17 inches.  Seriously.  I’m so delighted that the rain is back, I’m thinking about putting on my dancing shoes and doing a tap number in the middle of my street.

Just a little footage captured during my boredom while snowed in on the 7th day. While it was surely driving me a little stir-crazy, I got a little cabin fever to be sure, it was also a great opportunity for productivity in the editing department.

Nick and Lois had wanted to know if I could get them their wedding video by Christmas.  Well, it would be a little on the narrow side, I told them I couldn’t make any promises, but would do what I could.

Sunday December 21st, 1st day of winter, 5th or 6th consecutive snow day in our region; I agree to meet Nick and Lois to hand deliver their DVD’s, as I don’t know if the USPS could effectively deliver the package in 3 days, with the holiday, and the conditions.

My car being stuck, my friend John drives me to the Kinko’s where I print the DVD sleeves.  Everything is looking good, we stop and buy tubes for sledding while we’re out and about.  I need to get home, insert the sleeves into the DVD cases, with the DVD’s and make the package complete.  Then to a local coffee joint for delivery.

Unfortunately, as we return to my house, John gets his car stuck on a pile of snow in what would be the only area he could really park.  The plow has been piling it up for the last 4 or 5 days.  John ends up staying on the couch that night, getting a ride to work in the morning. The next day after work, we dug him out and he got home.

Nick and Lois ended up meeting me at the bottom of my hill, where I ran through the snow piled up almost 2 feet high, while it was snowing, and hand delivered the DVD’s of their wedding to them, so that they could have them in time to give their parents for Christmas!

Merry Christmas Nick and Lois!

Their video turned out great, and though I like the Pre-Ceremony Montage a lot, I’m going to share the Post-Ceremony Montage here –

So here is what Nick and Lois had to say about their wedding video -

Ken,

WE LOVE IT!! It was just what I wanted… seriously!! I am picky and you pleased me very much.
It was last minute but it was soo needed to create our lifetime memory of that special day

Thank you,

Nick and Lois

Once again, I feel I should iterate that the emphasis in quotes from clients is always original, never added! I love it when a plan comes together!  Seriously, not much makes me feel better than knowing a client is happy with the work I’ve provided.

Nick and Lois’s wedding also marks a kind of monumental occasion for me business-wise, in that for the 3 years I’ve been doing video production work professionally I’ve never booked a wedding after September. Theirs was November 15th.  Another good thing is that ’09 is already starting to fill up.  Good stuff!

Here is the Highlight Reel from Nick and Lois’s wedding.

Thanks for reading!
