Documentary style conceptual Wedding Films

[Cristian Derois]

Hi guys!

I've been burning the midnight oil to attempt to develop something highly "cinematogrphic" to wedding videos. I've tried some conceptual, acted films. It was cool, but hard to sell and produce.

Then, I've moved to another front: use a documentary cinema style to tell a story. And now, man, it works quite well. The couples loved to shoot a personal documentary. It is a huge success playback it at the reception. People get envolved watcing these films.

I just want to sahre with you my experience and this work. It demanded a hard work as a screenwriter and director, but there's the payof. Here you are two exemples what we are doing (I live in Brazil).

Both has english subtitles to you not loose grap on the narrative.

Please, any comments are very welcome

These have the Wow! factor, very powerful and emotional piece of work, i would not usually look at wedding type footage but this had me watching and wanting more, excellent.

Andrew, did you know what you've just done? You put a smile in the face of a lowly aspiring filmmaker. I wish i can do the same.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We love movies, we love to make movies. Your commentary is the fuel that push us forward.

I loved so much what you said I wish I put it in the testimonials in my web site. BTW, Cuold I? hehe

See ya!

Andrew.
