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

Majority of the shots by Marvin Dela, Bernard Barberan, My partner in crime, Jenny Taopo.
Here's what we did.
