Stephen and Rachel’s Express Highlights- 28th Dec 2007

Posted on: Saturday, December 29th, 2007 in: express highlights

Whole bunch of familiar faces yesterday - Joho (and his team - ExpressivelyEric and Michael) and A Little Dream.

Stephen has a lovely and powerful voice. (So, A Little Dream) u had better watch out. -winks)
it is so powerful that even the jiemeis could hear his declaration of love for Rachel from the ELEVENTH story.
he didn’t even need his xiongdis to help him out.

n then his voice turned all husky as he belted out
‘you are my sunshine,
my only sunshine.

are you my sunshine dear?’

(or maybe it’s bcoz he was having a sorethroat then.)

he had been a great sport. :)

so as usual, me at the bride’s (Rachel) and Lestin at the groom’s (Stephen).
then I did the editing of the express highlights at ritz carlton

(video removed due to bandwidth constrains. email flo@meoworks.com.sg should you wanna watch their express highlights. sorry for the inconvenience caused.)

million thanks to stephen n rachel who got us a day room so that i may edit comfortably.

the beds were extremelysuperlyduperly tempting. it was with much self control and will power that i had managed to extract myself out of the bed. and then i walked into the bathroom and there was this huge bathtub complete with a pillow to rest your head on. almost wanted to shift my macbook into the bathtub so that i may edit amongst the bubbles and froth while enjoying the gorgeous view.

absolutely NOT editing conducive.

Whee! There you go.

(video removed due to bandwidth constraints. pls email flo@meoworks.com.sg should you wish to watch their video. sorry about the inconvenience caused.)

I started out at Vivian’s home while Eileen headed over to Mervyn’s.
Edited by Flo.Really nice couple.
Kept reassuring us that everything’s fine, that we can take our time and kept making sure that we’re good.

WAH. WHERE ON EARTH CAN WE FIND ANOTHER SUCH COUPLE?

Shooting and editing for the express highlights is really super draining.
I wonder how do wedding videographers do it on a daily basis.

I even fell zzz during the reception for dinner.
-sheepish grin.

thank goodness Beat and Eileen were there to cover the entire dinner’s happenings.

and Mervyn, pls lah…….. for your own good….

do memorise Vivian’s IC no, mobile no and the date and venue of where you had proposed to her.

(I would post her IC and mobile no here to help you out. But then again, I’m sure you wouldn’t want the entire world to know her numbers right?)

and there’s only so many drinks you can drink as forfeit b4 getting sick of the whole ’suan tian ku la’ concoction.

Kenneth n Shannon- Express Highlights 9th dec 07

Posted on: Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 in: express highlights

a yr ago, on this date, i had shot for vincent and patricia.

(patricia had the most dollike face i’ve ever seen on a bride; big eyes, round face. ‘wawa lian’, that was what the MUA called her)

a yr later, vincent’s gd friend got married and guess who were there to capture their moments?

-grin.

here’s the promised express highlights.

it’s def one of the rare catchy chi songs that’s actually pretty listenable. (okok. i know im super kantang). n it’s even rarer to see a bride forget that she had a videocam trained steadily on her while she mouthed along to the chorus. and it’s def rarest to c a bride so ‘xin teng’ and was asking the sisters to let him in, let him in, let him in. (but the cunning sisters held on a little longer to get one more angbao. way to go girls!)

uncannily, eileen and i chose the exact same song to use for our ExH for 9th dec. it’s ESP man! (or maybe that proves that we came from the same ’sch of wedding videography’ :) however, i’m glad that we’ve come a long way n developed our own style.)

Linda n Dennis - 9th Dec 2007 - Express Highlights

Posted on: Monday, December 10th, 2007 in: express highlights

9th dec was just like 2nd dec with 2 weddings on the same day.

STRESS MAN!

the day started out at 630am at Shannon’s home. They were previously afraid that we were unable to deliver what we had promised as they were afraid that we would be affected by the return spate of events. But viola! Eileen managed to turn things around for them. Cheers for Eileen.

(Watch this space closely for her express highlights. )

Beat and I then left Shannon and Kenneth after gate crashing (Shannon was actually singing along while Kenneth was made to sing their song outside her door. Got it all down on tape, close up somemore!)

We then headed for Linda’s home. Their shoot involved a larger team. We had Brendon, Lestin and David along too. It was me being KS as once again, Linda and Dennis, was another worried couple.

Their gate crashing ended at 3pm and Brendon whisked me off to Ritz Carlton where I had to hurriedly produce a express highlights. By the time i was done capturing veryvery selectively from 3 videographers’ footage, it was 5.15pm. -whistles. Brendon then passed me his footage of their church ceremony at 6pm as they would like to have it included.

Well, we managed to get their DVD burnt out at 8.15pm and this is it.

Dennis and Linda’s wedding was really rara man. Dennis had 15 brothers! Beat that. They were really good and on the ball. (cept for going up to the wrong block. and the irony of it all? they are a bunch of real estate agents.)

During the dinner, Dennis was blindfolded and was made to pick Linda out from the 20 odd girls on stage. He was only allowed to touch their wrists. He found Linda by following an intricate series of motions. He would hold the girl’s wrist, tapped it, pinched it and massaged it gently. (macam like buying fish from the market)

The only girl who responded by flipping her wrist over was Linda.

Clara n Derek’s ROM MTV - 2nd dec

Posted on: Friday, December 7th, 2007 in: Photo Slideshow, ROM MTV

2nd Dec was a very important date for us.

Not only was it the first time we were shooting weddings without M’s support, we had to organise 2 teams as there were 2 weddings that day.

So…after much careful planning,

Brendon, Beat and me headed to Regina and James’ homes and were with them till their church ceremony which ended at 330pm.

Then Beat and I rushed down (thank my daddy for giving us a lift) to labrador park for Clara and Derek’s ROM at 4pm.

And this was what we came out with …

(videos removed due to bandwidth constraints. please contact carrie@meoworks.com.sg to watch the videos)
(ps: Clara was a v hands on bride. She did all the decorations, giving her venue a v personal touch)

will be meeting Clara and Derek tomorrow to get their approval of the footage and flow ive chosen.

let’s hope i get to close this asap so that i may work on the other edits. :)

and after Clara and Derek’s ROM, beat and I rushed back to Regina and James’ wedding dinner which was held at Raffles Town Club. We had wanted to catch Eileen’s express highlights but we were late by 10 mins. DARN.

why didn’t they start their dinner at the usual 8.30pm?
why did their guests come so early?
why did my cab take so long to come?
-muttermutter

well, at least, i had managed to catch ExpressivelyJoho’s photo slideshow which he put together during the afternoon.

james&regina

his works are gradually going thru a change. from previously heavily photoshopped pictures to photos which focus on more on the human emotions.

(there were a couple of quirky ones which he didnt add into the photo slideshow though)

Regina n James - 2nd Dec 07 - express highlights

Posted on: Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 in: express highlights

Regina and James - Our 1st challenge without a company backing us up.

Thank you.

For taking that leap of faith with us.

Regina (while talking to her sisters): Ya lor! Received Flo’s email 10 mins after I had emailed her my schedule for the day. Thought she was replying to my previous email. Opened it up only to read …. ‘ 1st Steps Weddings had been closed down’. 3 DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING! Then i hurriedly called James up and read the email to him ‘ If you have any queries, feel free to contact me at 9186 xxxx’ and i immediately called Flo up with the other phone.

-whee!

FU’s first express highlights.

James is quite the perfect gentleman. But Regina saw him first. Oh wells…..

I would like to marry a non-local, non-chinese too.
