Ardeth Celano

This was a really fun project to work on! A friend of ours (Kathy) came to us a week before her mom's 80th birthday, and asked if we could put together a video to surprise her at the party. Kathy wanted a few photo montages and everyone in the family to wish her a happy birthday via video. Next thing I know I'm getting home videos emailed to me from family members all over the country. You think you have a big family, think again! With only a week to get this project completed, we had to work really fast. We finished and burned the DVD a few hours before the party began, and felt a huge sigh of relief. Until 7pm, when Kathy calls me at home saying the DVD doesn't work, and everyone is sitting in the living room waiting for it to begin.Apparently something happened during the burning process of the DVD, and it didn't work. The only time we didn't test the DVD before (because of time constraints), and it doesn't work! What are the odds? So I rush downtown from Sandy, burn another DVD, and bring it to the party in Holladay!
Good Times......

Vimeo Channels

We have used Vimeo in the past to house our videos.
Recently we discovered Vimeo "channels".

To accommodate our different viewers, we've created three channels.
Weddings - by Life File Videos
Stories
Video Lab - Life File Videos
We'd love to hear what you think.

When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go...

My blog titles need some work.
But don't let that affect the next stunning 1 minute and 8 seconds of your life.

Kyle tested out some of the frame-rate features on our stellar Sony PMW-EX3.
Good on ya, mate.

Lynze and Matt

Lynze is a beautiful friend ours.
We were very excited to be able to make a wedding video for her and Matt.
They shared some really funny stuff during the interviews.

This video is of the very classy ring ceremony held at Eldredge Manor in Bountiful.

If you're interested in the technical stuff,
this was also our first wedding using the Canon 5D.
You can probably spot the shots with really shallow depth of field,
like the pull focus shot of the glass to the flower.

Marriott Rock Products

One of our clients is Simplure Power.
They provide this really technical service
to improve power quality for manufacturers
and large facilities
who regularly spend thousands of dollars/month
on their electic bill.

Marriott Rock products is one of Simplure's clients.
It was awesome to see this much machinery and power.
I had the idea to cut the audio from their natural sound.



Kyle did a great job at editing this.
