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!

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.

Understanding Our Equipment: DOF Lens
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.

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
