Max And Inna Wedding Music Video// Chicago, IL

Here is our latest and greatest, everyone.  Max and Inna’s wedding took place in the windy city (and it really was windy!).  They are such a fun and spontaneous couple, which you are about to see.  They attracted so much attention downtown, and they were basking in it.  Oh, and one more thing…their wedding was just simply gorgeous!

Their wedding was filmed in HD, which you can watch here, on Vimeo.

Max and Inna- best wishes to the both of you, and thanks again for inviting us to be a part of your wedding!

Professional Wedding Videography- Do Your Research

Any decision concerning your wedding should obviously done with careful thought.  It is always wise to do your research and get advice and referrals from others.  Videography is no different.

A good start would be to ask other brides/grooms.  Start with the ones you know and then consider joining web forums to get more opinions.  You can also ask videographers for a list of their recent brides you can contact.  It is important to cosider each opinion, whether they got professional services or not.

When you talk to recent brides they will most likely overflow with information about their wedding and the services they had.  Here is a list of some questions to ask recent brides:

  • If you had to pick between photography or videography, which would you choose?
  • Why did you choose to have professional videography?
  • How did you find your videographer?
  • If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently about your videography arrangements (if anything)?
  • Were there any particular things you had in mind when shopping around for videography?
  • What differences did you see between different videographers as you interviewed them?
  • What “lessons-learned” have you come up with concerning your wedding videography?
  • Do you know of any recent brides that wouldn’t mind answering these same questions?

After talking to several people, you will already start to develope a good idea of what you need to be looking for.  This will give you a great start on your own search for professional wedding videography.

Viktor and Ludmila’s Wedding Music Video// Venice, FL

Hello Everyone.  Glad you can join me.  Today’s video is a local wedding we filmed right here in Venice, Florida.  There was so much emotion; the tears, the looks, the vows (which are in the Russian language)….it’s great to be a part of these wonderful moments. 

Viktor’s and Luda’s wedding was full of culture, beautiful decorations and great food.  See for yourself.

Until next time,

Anna

My Boys- Another HD Test

Please allow me to brag today.  Had some free time one evening and I had Igor film our two youngest boys simply hanging out.  Ben is the responsible older brother and Gabe is our baby.

 Are they cute or what?  The boys love watching themselves over and over on video…

This was filmed in HD format.  What can you learn from this?  Lighting makes a huge difference.  Igor filmed in dim lighting, so the quality is not  what it would have been in natural light or even a well lit place.  Think about that if your wedding takes place in the evening (and speak with your videographer about it).

George And Irina Wedding Music Video// Anderson, SC

Good day to everyone.  Several days back we had a mini cold front come through this part of Florida, and it was so refreshing, but  now we are back to just plain hot weather.  Sigh….I can’t wait until the weather cools down.  We are traveling this weekend to South Carolina this weekend.  Hopefully it’s much cooler up there.

Speaking of South Carolina, here is a music video of a wedding we filmed there.  George is from Florida, Irina is from California, but they got married in SC.  Ahh..love really does bring people together. ;)   They had a gorgeous wedding.  There were so many wonderful details, as you will see.

They are perfect for each other, aren’t they?  We all thought so…

Understanding Our Equipment: The Glidecam 4000 Pro pt.2

Good morning to everyone.  I would like to follow up on a previous post about the Glidecam 4000 Pro.  I had Igor make a very brief video about the difference between a camera on the Glidecam and one hand held.  The subject was our son, Benjamin, who was very uncooperative for this project.  Instead of running for the camera, he was running away from it, so please bear with the constant scene changes.   What else would you expect from a 2 year old? :)

I hope you were able to see a difference,  dispite all else.  Feel free to comment or ask questions.

First Birthday Party//Same Day Edit

Sometimes we get to do something completely out of the ordinary.   In this case, we filmed a birthday party for returning clients.  Their son, Timmy, was turning one and they wanted it professionally captured.   I really had fun with this same day edit.

In any case, we love seeing old faces again ;)

New Wedding Music Video// Inman, SC

Today the realization hit me that summer is almost over. :(  My oldest son, Nicholas, can’t wait until school starts back up.  And while we take a vacation from school, we don’t take time off from weddings….

Here is one of our latest music videos, shot in South Carolina.  Towards the end of the video you will see some shots taken using a crane.

I hope your summer has been as good as mine, so far.

Not just any ‘ol tune…

Let’s talk about music . I absolutely enjoy listening to GOOD music.  Part of my job at Touch Dream is to research music.  I look for creative and emotions tunes; music that would make you immediately think of your wedding video anytime you hear it.

When we produce our music videos, we hope to evoke emotion and excitement, much like a movie does.  It would be impossible to do this without a love for music.  We are trying to stay away from the typical.  We are currrently trying to put together a list of our recommended song/music choices for our couples to choose from, if they choose to do so.  That with the addition of each couples’ personal preference is how each video comes out unique and personal.

If you are a bride or groom on the search for the perfect song/music choice, then I want to recommend something that might help.  There is an online radio whose mission is “to only play music you’ll love”.  You can find artist, songs and create unique music stations just for you.  If you hear something you like, write it down then talk with your videographer.  What’s the best part?  It’s FREE, of course.  It’s called Pandora.  I would encourage you to check it out.  It’s truly great.
