Our Stillmotion Workshop Experience

Peter — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:21:36 +0000

Couple of weeks ago we posted that we attended the workshop. It was 3 days of intense learning. We walked away with some great things that really made us want to push the envelope even more. The Stillmotion crew put together a highlight of our day 2 which involved coming up with ideas, planning, shooting and editing. They captured both the challenges and the triumphs of of all the attendees.. No doubt I am in it a few times..Just look out for the guy with the flower and Emily’s paper folding skills are shown off

So we are so pleased that this week has come, which we had been waiting for almost a year. It is going to be an amazing 3 days of the Stillmotion Experience. These guys are truly some cool film makers who taken wedding video to a level that is true film making. They are offering workshops around the world and through their workshop challenge all of us to push our selves and get the best out of what we do.

So tonight was just a short get together where we had a chance to have a bit of meet and greet, and already I have learned plenty and even more pumped.

I am so super excited to find out what the next 3 days brings us.

Vivien and Joshua’s Wedding

Peter — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:47:58 +0000

I love how Chinese tea ceremonies give the parents and other family members a chance to really be involved in the wedding. They can take a moment to bless the couple and give them words of love and encouragement, it is such a great tradition to have part of weddings. Plus the beautiful reds and golds, the offerings and the incense really add to the sense of culture and history that these couples are part of.

Josh & Vivien’s was one such wedding. With two tea ceremonies, a civil ceremony, a drive out to Emerald Lake and a nine course reception dinner, they were in for a big day, but both of them were so relaxed for the start and ready to enjoy each moment. Although Josh may have felt the pressure when Vivien’s bridesmaid’s set him a tough challenge before he was allowed to enter the house!

I must say a special Thank You to Josh & Vivien for including us in the nine course dinner, we were very spoilt to be able to try shark fin soup, quail and lobster and it really made us feel part of their wedding day.

Hope you guys enjoy the highlight.

Jaye & Xavier: Save the Date

Peter — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:16:03 +0000

A week ago I finally got to shoot this save the date which I’d been planning for a while, I have been looking for new ways to shoot these short and sweet videos to capture even more of our couples personalities, and what awesome and perfect couple Jaye and Xavier was for this! To introduce them, they are massive Pearl Jam fans and I mean real fans. Pearl Jam recently did a tour around Australia and they went to almost every one of their concerts, and it didn’t finish there, then they hoped over to New Zealand to see them one more time – pretty cool!! On top of that they love music with a passion. So I came up with a concept that would incorporate both their wedding planning and also Pearl Jam. I am so glad we finally got to shoot it as I have been itching to get this on tape. So I won’t ramble on any more, and cheers for Jaye and Xavier letting me get creative Hope you guys enjoy it!

Rebecca & David Highlight

Peter — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:18:27 +0000

Last night we dropped off the final DVD’s to Rebecca and David as an early Christmas present. It was wonderful catching up with them again, and just like they were on their wedding day they were so welcoming and excited to see us! We are really proud of this wedding film and were thrilled to receive a thank you message after they watched the DVD last night – it’s those moments that we remember we love what we do!

So, I now have the pleasure of presenting to you Rebecca and David’s highlight. It was such a pleasure to be part of their day and I really wanted their highlights to capture the love and spirit of the joining of not only Rebecca and David, but their families as well. It truly a wonderful day full of family, friends and lots of smiles!

Also we would like to wish a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year to everybody.

Enjoy

Peter.

We had the pleasure of filming Madalyn and Chean’s wedding earlier this year, and now we are able to share their highlight. This was one epic shoot with 2 tea ceremonies, western ceremony and a Cambodian ceremony and then to finish of the day with a full dance routine. They had a blast and we had a great time with them capturing their day.

Lauren & Darren Trailer

Peter — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:57:37 +0000

Been a while since we posted, here is a little sneak peak from Lauren and Darren’s wedding I shot in November. It was a beautifully vintage themed wedding and Lauren really went all out from the dress to the bus. I really enjoyed working with Paul from Icon Pictures who took beautiful images and I am sure that Lauren and Darren will be wrapped with his photos.

I’ll post more about the day when we put up the highlight.

While on our winter break to Port Douglas Peter was keen to try out our new toy the Panasonic GH1 and luckily for us my newly engaged sister and my soon-to-be brother-in-law were not hard to convince to be our test subjects! It was a beautiful day on Four Mile Beach and we had fun playing around in the sun. Check out the results in the fun and sexy save the date!
