International: Hong Kong, Bali, India, Bangladesh, Philippines

Plus we’ve worked at countless locations throughout Penang island.

NOTE: We’re on the lookout for a Maldives / London / Hawai’i wedding. Let us know if you are having your wedding there!

6. Yikes! Your rates are pretty high, aren't they?

Believe it or not, we are not the most expensive studio around. Our charges are based on a few things: skill, time, professionalism, track record and equipments we use. We encourage you to be an informed consumer, so shop around. Moreover, your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime affair, you want to be happy with the people you hire. If you still prefer our work and style, do return.

7. What do you require from us if the wedding destination is outside Penang island?

We usually require one or two nights hotel accommodation (night before wedding & actual wedding night) along with some travel assistance (flights, taxi, petrol, toll). This varies depending on your specific requirements, so please contact us to discuss this further!

8. Do you have experience with Indian/Malay Weddings?

Yes we do! They are partly the reason why we are proud citizens of this multicultural country, Malaysia. We love exploring other cultural wedding apart from these. Share yours with us!

9. Will you use lights on the wedding day?

Yes and no, it really depends on your location. Lighting remains the essential element of videography and photography, even with the best low-light digital camcorder and camera available in the market. Without good lighting, your image may come out grainy, with reduced contrast and dull colours.

10. I love a particular videographer's shooting style. Can you shoot like them?

It is important to note that videography is an art and each videographer brings with him a unique vision and "feel" to the end result. We hope you will engage our services because you love and appreciate our vision and artistry.

11. I have some videos that my parents have shot since I was 5. Can you edit them into a video that I can play at wedding dinner?

We're open to discuss this with you. Do contact us for further information.

12. For my outstation wedding, can you stay at my 80 year old grand aunty's house, in the same room with my cousin?

No. Rest is very important to us, as our work is physically and mentally draining. Plus we need our privacy and space to store our gear. We do not need to stay in a 5-star hotel - all we ask for is a hotel room that is comfortable, clean and close to the wedding location.

13. Do we need to feed you?

We pray hard that you would as this is very important. We are humans just like you. You don't want your videographer to faint halfway through your wedding dinner! We would appreciate it if you could provide us with a packed vendor's meal. Something like a fried rice from the hotel cafe in a take-away box would suffice. If you are having a buffet style reception dinner, we'll help ourselves later on.

14. How long will it be before I get the final edited film?

Depending on how peak the season is, you will get your wedding film anytime between 4-6 months from your wedding date. We put every ounce of effort into making your video unique, so this takes time and cannot be rushed.

15. What is a Same Day Edit and what do you require for it to be done?

Same Day Edit is a short highlights of what happen in the day that is being shown at the reception dinner. Its available as an add-on on top of our collections. It would be helpful if we have a place to edit this piece. Somewhere inside the reception hall would be great. We require a table, chair and power points. We ask that you schedule this piece to be shown at 9pm.

16. What equipments do you use?

We believe that tools such as Steadicam, crane, slider, camera etc are just merely tools to get the job done. A good pen doesn't make one a good writer. However, give a good writer a pencil and he/she will write amazing stories. Its really about the talent and skill, not the tools.

Some of the equipments we use are Canon 5Dmk2, Canon 7D, Panasonic HMC152, Glidecam, Tripods, Monopods and audio equipments.

17. Do you provide wedding photography services?

No. However we may point you in the right direction. We have worked with countless photographers in the industry and would be able to recommend some to you.
