Hi Guys!

Happy New Year! It's been a while since I last posted here so here's something I would like to share. It was the couple's concept and they just left the execution to us.

shown just before the reception ended. ^_^

Shot with HV30s and FX1s

excellent work! I loved it. Music really develops into a powerful climax towards the end.

So the old couple was suppose to represent the younger couple (your actual client) in the future? Are they related to the old couple?

Which shoots were taken with the HV30?

So I'm guessing father of the groom played the groom in the future and mother of the bride played the bride?

Anyways, well done and fun to watch. Great emotional setup. My one request would be for the end of the video when the "older" groom approaches the "older" bride. You switch back to the younger couple and the groom is running his hand down her shoulder and arm, etc. I think a great linking shot would have been to show a shot of the older groom running his hand down the older bride's shoulder or arm. It's a small thing. Just a suggestion.

Great work, though. Thanks for sharing!

Wow. That's impressive. Great concept and very nicely done.

If I hung around with you folks for a week, I know that I would learn so much.

Hey Raphael,
Great clip! Very easy to see the story behind the clip. Enjoyed every minute of it. My favorite shots in your video were all the low angle wide shots. A whole different depth being that low and wide. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, that's a cool concept. Very well put together.

I too am curious what that orange transition is that you use.

Love the stedicam shot where you follow her hand as she is putting it over his shoulder for a hug. Something about that one particular shot jumped out at me.

Funny you should say that, goes to show how different people are. When I saw that scene, I thought her hand+arm was very snake-like in movement, especially with the speed ramp up.

Yeah, well, I'm right and you're wrong.

Thank you man! Yep, you got it right! They're not related though... hahahaha! We just looked for an old couple to act out those parts. :D

All the tripod shots of the pre-wedding shoot where shot with the HV30...

Hi Luke! Hmmm, i'm not sure actually. I guess it would cost a lot? They have a lot of cool songs even though i don't understand them... hehehe!
