There are so many things that we learned about Amy and Fil throughout the whole process of producing this short piece. From the first time we began storyboarding ideas until our last shoot during their studio session, we saw more and more of their personalities come out and really allow us to get to know them better. One of the greatest compliments we received after showing this film at the reception was when one of the guests came up to us and said “It was so Amy and Fil”. This is exactly what we aim to do. To tell a story about the couple we are working with and to bring out the essence of who they are as individuals. The amazing part is while weaving the story together we really begin to see the reasons they are a couple and why they vibe so well. So needless to say that hearing those words from one of the guests was music to our ears.
During our studio shoot, Amy pulled off at least 6 amazing impersonations that were so good we knew we had to incorporate them into the film. The interesting part is that there are really good story’s behind a lot of her impersonations. When it came to Fil we knew we had to play on his “serious” sense of humour. He had us in tears while filming and editing took us a bit longer than expected because we kept watching the footage over and over again.
One of the greatest things about shooting an Engagement film is that it allows us to spend more time with our couples and really get to know them before their wedding day. At the same time they get a feel for our shooting style and know what to expect. When Amy and Fil first met up with us last winter we knew that they were looking for something different. Something that would really stand out and be unique. After discussing our ideas regarding an Engagement Film and explaining to them what kind of experience it is to share with family and friends at a reception, they knew that this would be the right touch to add to what turned out to be an already amazing wedding day. Amy and Fil’s Engagement Film was played for the 300 guests in attendance as an introduction to their entrance into the banquet hall.
We had a great time working with you both and a ton of fun producing this for your special day.
All the best!
