Vogel/Gonzales Wedding

What a weekend! I have never been to a reception with as much dancing and fun loving people... With nearly 200 people coming in town for Trisha and Danny from all over the place, California, and Kansas, to Canada and Florida. I have to tell you about a dance that they Benedictan school friends organized called "kiss the girl"

It started with two chairs about 15 feet apart on the dance floor, one with Danny sitting in it and across the floor Trisha in the other. The DJ hit play on Little Mermaids', "Kiss the girl" and all of a sudden everyone broke out in chorus dancing around Danny and Trish belting out at the top of their lungs this song... the cutest part of it all was every time the refrain came around they moved the chairs that Danny and Trish were sitting in closer together, you can just imagine all of this... and i was lucky enough to be capturing all of this on video! Just at the end of the song did the chairs come together for Danny and Trish to kiss each other like they had been wanting to the entire song... this was definitely the highlight of the dancing without a doubt.

I am so thrilled and blessed to have been able to capture these and many other memories for Danny and Trisha to look back on weeks or even years from now... I know that when they do so, it will be with big smiles :)

Until next time... peace and blessings!

Another day in paradise

So it is Thursday, and we are working hard to come up with some new corporate clients today. Mike and I have been in the office for the last 3 hours working on brainstorming where to go. We have been working on a number of great projects and want to share our skill with the corporate sector. We are know for our amazing wedding videos, and our approach to cinematic video production, so we want to do the same with company marketing. We are working hard to come up with ideas of companies that want to use the internet to market them selves better. Video is the way to go! So if you know anybody looking to have some AMAZING videos done, look no further. Epic Studios and Forever films is the only choice in video production....
Ok enough of the commercials...I am having a GREAT day here in the studio working on more marketing...if you have any ideas, drop me a line or write in our blog.

Wedding Weekend!

My job isn't really a job... Saturday's shoot with Jeff and Trisha was full of sunshine, fun and everyone smiling! A better day couldn't have been ordered for their wedding. The ceremony was as intimate as any I have been to. Before,I was able to spend some time with the groomsmen as they got ready and got to listen to stories from years past shared and many a jokes! Jeff no doubt has a real solid group of guys around him. More than anything it is an indication of the type of person he is... more times than I can count people said to me that Jeff is the most generous person they know. He has got a smile and easy-going attitude people want to be around, Trisha is one lucky woman!

We are going to get started on the edit for this beautiful project and will be posting frequently about how is comes along. Next is Jeff and Trisha's choice for the music we will be editing to.
forever is forever,

Another beautiful day at Forever Films

So today is a beautiful day here in Minnesota. It is Friday in mid July and if you have never been to Minnesota in the summer, it is gorgeous. I am excited because I am preparing for Jeff Robinson's wedding that we are shooting video for tomorrow. We are going to be shooting in High Definition. We will be shooting him and his beautiful bride in gorgeous 720. We are preparing the cameras, data cards, and the lighting for this.
As a side note, it is interesting because I find myself getting excited to shoot and edit. I feel like every day, I learn something new, and get all excited again. I love learning from the work of other videographers in the industry. I just found out about a conference and training that is coming up this January that is going to be put on by some of the best film makers in the wedding video industry.

As the editor for Forever Films, I find my self getting excited when the raw footage comes in from a new wedding, and I get to turn it into a masterpiece! I never saw myself getting so into editing.

Right now Mike is on the phone talking to Panasonic about the cameras we use. We are re programming the cameras to have new scene files which will allow the camera to do much more. We want to have a more diverse ability to change our look on the fly. The cameras we use are Panasonic HVX-200s. The great thing about these cameras is that they are so reliable, and versatile. There is no better camera for wedding videography.

So that is it for the day! See you soon
