On 4 August 2008, Monday morning when I wake up, the sky was overcast.  It ready get me worry as I will be doing the Save the Date video for Hong Sin and Cindy in the afternoon.

It will be done in an outdoor location at Hort Park and the theme of the shoot is fun in the garden park.

Lucky the weather turn out to be good in the afternoon.  We have an enjoyable time shooting the Save the Date video for our September wedding couple, Hong Sin and Cindy.  I am also glad that I have rope in my mentor, Derek from Treasure Productions, to help me in directing the shoot.

It is not too difficult and complicated to make as you can see in Sri and Roy wedding blog. http://spjulio.wordpress.com/

I love doing this type of creative MTV shoot. It is more interesting and challenging.

Looks forward for more this type of shoot.

On the 2nd day of the shoot, woke up to a heavy down pour, was worrying about the outdoor shoot. Lucky, the weather turn to better, at least the down pour have stop and left with a small drizzle.

All in all, everything turn out well even through there is thing that we can’t control such as weather

At this placement the poping sound will be reduced.

Their picture came out great, but they did not have anything to relive the moment with. They feel short of missing their first dance. The pictures is great but it is not the same as the video where they can get to see it in full motion and sound.

Here is some of the important consideration they need to consider in choosing their wedding videographer.

1. You must be comfortable working with them. You need to meet up with the videographer to built the rapport with each other.
2. Be sure that your videographer uses professional video cameras such as 3CCD camera, which offer excellent color clarity.
3. Do they use professional microphones to capture the audio of your marriage vows?
   Professional microphones will pick up clearer sound from the marriage vows better than the video camera inbuilt microphone. The audio quality of your marriage vow is key to good wedding solemnisation video
4. Have you seen their sample work?
   Different videographer will have different style, compares and choose a videographer style that is inline with what you want for your wedding.

There is many good wedding videographer in Singapore. Take time to view their wedding portfolio, meet up with them.
