Max And Inna Wedding Music Video// Chicago, IL

Anna — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:42:52 +0000

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!

Anna — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:34:16 +0000

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

George And Irina Wedding Music Video// Anderson, SC

Anna — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:40:14 +0000

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

Anna — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:26:13 +0000

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.

Understanding Our Equipment: DOF Lens

Igor — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:27:23 +0000

The next piece of equipment I want to briefly explain is the 35mm adapter DOF with a 50mm lens. If you are not familiar with this it may sound complicated at first, but it’s really not. You see it in most videos, movies and photography; but you may not have known the term for it.

Very simply: DOF stands for depth of field. This special lens allows the camera to focus on a particular subject while keeping everything else blurry. Depending on the aperture, we can have a large DOF (a lot is in focus) or a small DOF (objects in one distance are in focus). This is a very nice effect that helps accent what’s important in each video.

This is a very brief clip of a DOF test. David was just messing around with the lens, but you can definately see a difference. His subjects: his wife and their brand new (at the time) baby boy, Joseph.

If you haven’t before, you will also notice this effect on our videos. It is our goal to completely master the lens to perfect our wedding videos.

New Wedding Music Video// Inman, SC

Anna — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:59:28 +0000

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.

A Wedding Video Story and a Serious Videographer

Anna — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:55:37 +0000

Good day everyone! I want to share an adorable little story with you. My oldest child is six years old now, and the other day he ended up watching our wedding video. I absolutely enjoyed watching the look on his face as he tried to figure out why he was not at the wedding. It was priceless! He also saw people who were much younger then, family who is no longer with us now, and got to hear all the sights and sounds of the day. I don’t think that he could have ever had the same experience through pictures alone.

If you are still unsure, please take a look at what video professionals have to offer.

Now I want to share a picture of Igor (he might kill me for this ) with his camera/glidecam. Do you see the concentration? It’s great; I love it!

Until next time,

Anna

TouchDream at Work

Hey there. It’s been a couple days now, and the team is getting ready to head on out to South Carolina…but more on that later.

We’ve been getting some questions about our equipment so I wanted to address that today. There is alot of different pieces of equipment that goes into the making of a great “film”.

Here is what we use:

Sony Z1u DV/HDV 3CCD cameras (HD footage available)
Wide angle 0.6x century optics lens adapter
GlideCam 4000pro “The Name and Future of Camera Stabilization” no shaky footage
Redrock M2 micro – 35mm adapter DOF with Nikon lens 50mm 1.4
Jib1 crane system for outstanding and smooth high shots
Sennheiser Shotgun mics used for those long distance or directional audio recording
Sennheiser G2 wireless lapel mics usually hidden on grooms

Now here is a little video using some of the equipment and how it all works:

Hope you enjoyed it. Signing off,

Igor
