Martz on CGTV

Introducing the Kamerar SD21 (Slider - Dolly)- a wonderful tool that enabled our team to shoot Martz at various angles with cinematic trucking and dolly inside his condo in San Antonio Village, Pasig City.

A 6 minuter SDE

It's a different story when you do your video editing during preps, a little at the ceremony, and finally, just adding photos from your photographer friends at the reception. Same-day edits give editors barely an hour and a half to complete the editing and exporting to a file or DVD.
I've tried to lay-down first the important video clips of the event versus laying down the soundtrack first, and during the ceremony, make "himay" with the clips from preparations. My total timeline was running at 4 minutes already!  I dragged the soundtrack to my timeline and found it easier to trim down clips and remove what I didn't needed to form the MTV. I got my soundtrack from MUSICBED.COM. There's a secret behind how you can get the soundtracks for free, but that will come up in my show, Camerageek TV soon!

Here's what we did for our fellow supplier Kaye, courtesy of the photographer friend Abner, who hired the team  to do their onsite AVP.

How Do We Film Weddings?

Wikipedia defines a wedding as a ceremony where people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions vary greatly between customs, cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes.

For me, a wedding is the most grandest day ever for a modern-day Filipina. That's why careful planning and execution in filming a once in a life-time event calls for an experienced and professional video team such as our production firm :-)

Normally an onsite edit or others call it, "same-day edit" is challenging considering that the video editor must finish a 3 or 4 minuter video to be shown during the couple's reception. Usually the onsite avp is shown 1:30 hr after the start of the first greeting line of the host at the couple's reception program.

So... What if here's the scenario given:
1. During preps, I didn't do any "himay" or video editing because I was busy trying out the new SONY VG-900 with the 24-70 2.8 mm lens :-)

2. I was so happy using the Sony 70-200 2.8 mm lens during the ceremony that I lost track of time. So no editing happened there too.

3. Mark and Enrae had a very short reception program! Even my newly photographer friend (the couple's official photographer) was so stressed because he needed more time to create his onsite photos (which were excellent, by the way...)

 With these three scenarios at hand, I needed to devise a quick minute plan... To cramp candid and "you were too busy to remember" video clips our team captured during the entire preps and ceremony! 

Here's our gears:
Sony VG900 with 24-70 2.8 , 70-200 2.8 mm lens
Canon 60Ds with 30mm 1.4, 10-22mm, 18-50 2.8 mm lens
Glidecam HD 2000
Benro KH25 Tripods
Arri 1000 watts lighting kit
G3 Evolution wireless lapel
