I attended a workshop about HD DSLR filmmaking put on by Bruce Patterson (http://cloudninecreative.com/index.html) and Joe Simon (http://www.joesimonweddingfilms.com/) that was incredible. This was a hands on workshop where Bruce and Joe shared with us their huge amount of knowledge and skills. I was pumped since I had only owned my Canon 5D for a month and really had a ton of questions. It was a great seminar!
The WPPI tradeshow was gigantic! Fun to dream about all the gear I would love to own. Met up with a large group (maybe 30) of wedding filmmakers and reconnected with some wonderful friends. Went to some great parties, my favorite was put on by Junebug weddings (http://junebugweddings.com/) in an amazing Las Vegas skyline view suite. Drank a bit too much bubbly :)
The wedding was so much fun! The team was all women, Julie, Kristen* from Bliss Productions (http://www.blissvideoproductions.com/), Christina Valdivi (http://cristinamvaldivieso.wordpress.com/) and myself. I was super excited to work with these women as they are all amazing filmmakers and I was hoping there skills would rub off on me a bit :)
The Bride and Groom had been practicing and memorizing the lyrics to the Michael Franti song "I love you" for a few weeks. On the wedding day we carried around a boombox and filmed 3 or 4 takes of the song with Aria & Elie and their guests. Plus we shot all the rest of the wedding day. Meanwhile our editor was in the other room editing away our footage as we dropped memory cards off. Around midnight the SDE was shown on the big screen and it was a hit! Take a look:
I feel so much gratitude to Julie for inviting me to assist with this wedding and trusting me to be apart of such a wonderful team! There is always more to aspire to and Julie has got me totally psyched and motivated.
