Robert & Rachel ~ their story

Posted in Wedding Gallery on August 20th, 2010 by RD

Tomorrow is Robert & Rachel’s wedding…can’t wait. From Sunbury, we will be covering a bit of distance going to Berwick for Rachel, Dandenong for Robert, St Dominic’s in Camberwell and back towards home with the reception at Lakeside in Taylor’s Lakes.

There will be lots of things happening and as Robert & Rachel are into motorbikes, it will be Dean’s challenge to get the GoPro camera on the bike. I’m sure it’ll prove to bring up some awesome footage.

So what’s their story? Well obviously their mototbikes are a key part, but Rachel & Robert also share a love of family. Joshua, their son, will be a central part of the day. Wth so many nieces & nephews in the bridal party, it was very obvious when we attended the rehearsal the closeness & importance of family. As their day hasn’t unfolded yet, I can’t tell you too much of the little things that will happen…you will have to wait and see :)

105 year old wedding video

Posted in Wedding Gallery on August 16th, 2010 by RD

 

I often hear or read from brides and grooms that they just want something to archive their wedding – that video isn’t important and that they may not watch thier wedding video more once, but want it anyway. It somewhat saddens me in hearing this. There is no doubt that an amazing photographer will capture so many parts of your day & you will treasurere it forever. However a film of your wedding can also be a priceless memory.

Through our network of colleagues, I’ve come across this beautiful piece that to me, validates what we do. Within the interview, the interviewee explains “what is so good about this film, is that you can see it floating…it’s living histroy”.

Time for Change

Posted in Wedding Gallery on July 28th, 2010 by RD

As we are commencing our new season of weddings, it’s time for us to implement change. The storytelling elements in our wedding film making have been developing, so now we are ready to reflect these more in what we deliver. August 2010 will see a revamp of our packages & prices that will allow us to further personalise your wedding video.

Our passion is to shoot & edit each couple’s stories that are unique to them and not a mirror of another bride & groom. This means that we will listen to both of you as you share what makes you different and find the uniqueness of you…telling these stories beautifully & elegantly is just as important to us as it is to you.

This is your day and we strive to produce a Living Memory.

Collaboration not Competition ~ Exposed Down Under 2010

Posted in Wedding Gallery on July 21st, 2010 by RD

This year has been an amazing one for us. Not only have we been able to bring the Still Motion crew to our Australian shores, we are proud to be involved in the growth of the industry. In conjunction with my Sydney colleagues, we brought some of the worlds most recognised video producers, plus many talented local artists together this July in Sydney. This event was an amazing first for the Australian video producers community – a dedicated conference designed to inspire, motivate and push the professional and creative limits of our industry to a new and exciting level.

Exposed Down Under // 2010 from Peter Szilveszter // Living Lens on Vimeo.

One of my favourite clips that focused on the Editor’s challenge that we ran showed the full on effort & pressure that each person competiting was under. The winning prize was a Canon 5D MKII camera and was won by Lorna-Jean, a very talented producer with the Abraham Joffe Videographers. Second prize was an Edius software program won by Josh Lamont from Moments Captured and 3rd prize by Luke Middlemiss from http://www.playbackproductions.com.au/.

A running diary of the event is recorded in our Exposed Down Under blog http://www.exposeddownunder.com.au/?page_id=1240

Our next event will be run next year and we look forward to greater collaboration amongst our industry professionals.
