A wedding video with cinematic-video like experience
February 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment
2011 marks my 8th years as an international wedding cinematographer, what an auspicious number! Indeed I am proud that I have covered hundreds of wedding in the past, witness and be part of the rapid growth of wedding cinematography industry. And the best is, another milestone for Andy Wang Cinematography which I will reveal more details in Q2.
Having said that, it’s not easy to survive in this industry especially when DSLR and camcorder are considered as a reasonably priced’s gadget for majority. Many still ask why do they need to spend so much for a wedding video while they can also get their friend or family member to be the so-called ‘videographer’ with own camcorder or DSLR camera.
In fact, cinematographer is the author of an original work of art. Besides holding a camera to shoot, he/she posses years of experience in lighting, lens choices, exposure, filtration, sound recording, compiling all the most precious moments into a masterpiece and even sound mixing.
In other words, cinematographer turns an ordinary video footage into a movie, giving you a kind of cinematic experience, like what you get from a Hollywood movie. For an example, the moment when bride and groom exchange vow will give you a kind of touching feeling, a lasting yet treasure memory that you and your future generations will absolutely treasure. And all these make cinematography different from videography.
After your wedding day, you are left with two things – wedding photos and wedding video. If a small investment can let you own a Hollywood-feel of wedding video which you and your other half will watch it over and over again, I guess this is definitely the best wedding gift you ever get for your two.
Wedding Of Jocelyn & Herbert in Restaurant Passion Road Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
July 12, 2010 | 2 Comments
I get to know Herbert and Jocelyn through a good friend of mine, Aires, who is also the bride’s maid of honor.
This couple has a very unique story behind – he is an Iban while she is a Chinese. Both hailed from the same hometown, Kuching, living not far from each other but they met in the flight while flying across the South China Sea.
After 5 years of courtship, the knot was tied on 15 May in KL. With her years of experience in PR industry, Jocelyn planned each and every single detail by herself. She is definitely one of the very few brides that I know, who is very clear on what she wants (and that’s why I was once very worry that can I meet her expectation or not).
Although Herbert is not a Chinese and the couple is having a contemporary wedding, but surprisingly, he really look forward to the crash the gate session. Few weeks before their big day, the maid of honor was trying to sabotage the bride, telling Herbert that if he gives an ang pow with certain amount and above, the girls will just open the door and everyone will be very safe. Of course, this plan is not acceptable by Herbert at all, he said he won’t want to miss any fun of going through the obstacles. There came all the crazy ideas by the zi-mui while the heng-tai sacrifice a lot to prove their brotherhood spirit.
The church ceremony was held in Holy Rosary Church, followed by a small yet intimate garden reception at Passion Road. This is my first assignment at Passion Road and I am totally in love with it. Nestled in the centre of KL city, it’s just such a beautiful and whimsical venue for wedding, nicely decorated with the combination of couple’s favourite colour – black and hot pink.
The couple’s first dance, Herbert’s very touching thank you speech, a kissing game that failed to make the bride drunk as per the maid of honor’s plan and dance floor session kept the party alive throughout the night. All in all, everyone enjoyed themselves very much, including me and my team who were there for work.
Last but not least, thanks a million to Herbert and Jocelyn for putting trust on me, it’s glad to know both of you. Not forgetting also Aires for recommend me to the couple. Hope you all will enjoy the video!
