Remember our last posting on bringing Wedding Story to the next level? I am totally excited to announce that we are no longer alone. We have Grace, Alex, Choon Ean, Kareem and Mark on board this new adventure. Grace, the brainchild behind Integricity Visuals is a real ‘cilipadi’. Despite her small size, she is one of the most sought after Film Editor in the Malaysian Film Industry.

It has always been my heart’s desire to bring Wedding Story to Klang Valley. With our partners in Klang Valley now, I can finally do this.

There is so much in the planning and at the same time we are bogged down with wedding shoots and edits. I’ll have to reveal them slowly one by one as it comes by.

So, those of you in Klang Valley. You can call us and make appointment to meet up and see the wedding  films we have produced and wedding photos that we have shot.

Our address in Klang Valley:

We’ll be at Shangri-la’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa Bridal Showcase on the 21st June 2008 from 11am till 7pm.

First 5 couples who book us at the wedding showcase will get a Pre-Wedding Video Shoot in Penang worth RM 1,500 for FREE ! Check out samples here.

Its been 5 years now since I left my family business and embarked towards excellence in Wedding Videography. We have experienced so much. We are not perfect but we learn from hearing our client’s feedback and suggestions

The time has come for us to bring the Wedding Story brand to the next level.

Stay tuned !

Shot right in the heart of Georgetown, Penang. Enjoy !

You are getting married. You want your wedding to be beautiful and classy. You decorate the wedding ceremony and reception venue as tasteful as possible. You possibly might want to have a romantic setting that may involve candles and low dim lighting. You decided to have colour moving heads to light the dance floor as your guest dances to the chant of Y.M.C.A. You also do not want the photographer and videographer to be very noticable and distracting.

On the other hand, the photographer and videographer wants light, light and more light. Looking towards big budget movie sets, they use 1K to 100K watt light to give the cameras the light the cameras need. Yes, even the dark alley you see in movies are lit ! This is the same for wedding videography because without appropriate lighting, the footage will be dark, grainy and non viewable.

Having shot many weddings, we try not to use on-camera lights during coverage. Using lights almost always shatters the feel and mood of the wedding reception. However, this comes at the compromise of video quality, which will be grainy, reduced contrast and duller colours.

How much would you compromise then ? Here are some pros and cons having and not having lights.

Lighting Pros

– Better image clarity
– Better contrast
– Nicer colours

Lighting Cons

– People will squint their eyes
– People will show lack of comfort in footage
– People feel unnatural because they sense the presence of the videographer

Without Lighting Pros

– Retains the mood and feel of the venue ambience
– Often lead to better content in footage
– More candid footage

Without Lighting Cons

– Reduce image clarity, blur and grainy
– Some settings are too dark to get footage hence limits coverage

So, if you want to have better image quality, better content in footage and more candid footage, here are some suggestions :

– Have some par-can lights lit the reception venue (I have seen this work and its beautiful)
– Plan the lighting with your videographer and photographer
– Increase the lighting in the reception venue

Lighting remains the essential element of videography even with the great low-light capability digital camcoder. Futhermore, photography/videography is about capturing available light. The best optic that can capture extreme low-light condition is still our human eyes.

How much are you willing to compromise between how annoying the light can get versus the image quality of the footage ? You decide.

“A Celebration Of Togetherness”, that was the theme for Tom and Ai Kim’s wedding reception. It was a night full of joy and laughter, seeing everyone coming together to celebrate this big day. Tom & Kim, Thank you for having us capturing this joyous occasion.

We really had fun and enjoyed every moment of it. Here’s the highlights of the night. Enjoy!

Dr. Lee Ville was my classmate in Form 5. This wedding is just like a reunion for old school mates. I met up with so many of them whom I lost contact.

This wedding was also held in a two extravagant venue. The beautiful bride gets ready at Cheong Fatt Sze Mansion. The wedding ceremony and reception was at the top of Penang Hill. Simply elegant and great taste.

I recall Karen first call me on the phone to enquire on our services. I truly enjoy speaking with her that first time. I knew she is a wonderful and friendly lady. I found out she owns a kindergarten later on. I figure it would be real cool to document a kindergarten owner’s wedding on video. Karen dropped by our studio to view more works and love our video style even more. She previously have only seen our video on our website. She booked us!

Karen and Sean’s wedding was on 08.03.08 which was when Malaysia goes to vote. It didn’t deter many of their guest coming to witness their marriage at Georgetown Baptist Church. She even had her kindergarten children being the flower girls.

The most awesome thing was they rented some TVs for the live telecast of the election results during their reception at The Mansion.

Here’s their wedding highlights edited by me.
