What gets you excited? A wedding trailer

November 22nd, 2009 - 8:05pm | by Matt Pine

What gets me excited is music. Epic music that is seamlessly timed out to the visual scenes from a beautiful wedding. Meet Christine and Nathan, who had an incredible day as you’ll see here.
Nearly everyone but myself from the Lifetime team help put this latest wedding trailer together and I am so proud, this is great! Some fantastic shooting by Dan, Greg and Mark with Chris Joeken’s editing make this fast paced trailer so fun to watch.


Enjoy,

Kelly and Jay we’re putting the finishing touches on your production. Here’s a preview of the highlights. I’ll be in touch soon.

Getting your Brideface on

So last night for like the 127th time in 5 or so years I got to work with one of the incredible make-up artists at Brideface. It was my personal favorite member of the team, the owner and founder Nancy Dawson. She and I had an adventure last night:

We were both part of this vendor all-star team that helped produce this amazing Gothic wedding on Halloween. The backdrop of the beautiful Dayton Art Institute playing host. The bride chose a black wedding gown and hired a professional lighting company to set the visual effect. Red and black were the theme colors. I can’t tell you how cool this was, it just rocked. I am already searching for the perfect music soundtrack. The entire Lifetime team is excited to start cutting (what should be) a jaw dropping wedding film. We’re scheduled to post a preview sometime after the first of the year.

Nancy had the women looking stunning. I love working together b/c she’s an artist, creating facial masterpieces with her brush. I think we have both devolped at style that really compliments each others work. I personally love being a “fly on the wall” in a room full of women capturing natural shots of conversation and facial expressions. Nancy is a master at engaging the bride, bridesmaids or anyone in the room so I can be “Stealth” like recording that nervous energy that’s in the air right before the wedding.
Notice how the camera in these shots is truly invisible, (nobody’s waving at cha). It really let’s me capture magic in time. Through all these years Nancy has helped me do my job better, I wanted to say thanks. After working so much together I decided I wanted to put together a promo for my friend. This is one we produced back in March. I added at the entire Brideface team though different weddings and a recent Brideface open house. Also notice how their finished product not only looks perfect, I also passes the “cry” test.

btw, special thanks to Tine Hofman of tmphotgraphy.net for the awesome photographs.

enjoy,
