El Passion

So finally after so long I'm able or rather willing to blog :P Nah actually it's more like I finally have something to blog about.
As most of you would have already known, I finally got a job praise God for his faithfulness. It's the second month of work now and I'm thoroughly blessed. I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for years and finally the breakthrough. I guess it's really God's timing for everything. If you don't know, here's a little light on what I'm doing. I'm attached to Wedding Story, a company that does wedding films from a diff angle. Telling a story of each couples unique experiences through their wedding day employing cinematic styles diverging from the usual coverage shooting. Which helps me to learn to tell a story from what I shoot :) exciting right? absolutely.
I've had my first wedding shoot in the nation's capital about two weeks ago and by golly was it a big one. Thanks to my kind and humble "sifu" boss i was given the opportunity to learn from a few other experiences before thrown into a huge wedding. Certainly was a different experience shooting a wedding compared to a static event or static point shot in live coverages. What a privilege and better still to shoot with the new Canon 7D which is my dream camera. still vying to get one for my own one day but seems like the 60D will be coming out soon so.. who knows what it will be.

Now back to my main point :P. Like i mentioned earlier I had the opportunity to learn a few before the wedding. And yes what a great lesson it was. Now it's my job to edit that piece and I found the pain of doing it XD haha not complaining but rather learning the importance of knowing what to shoot and what not to shoot and many other stuff that comes along the way. It's so hard to edit a video with clips that simply look directionless. I begin to realize that i should bear in mind what I'm painting when i'm shooting. As much as I realize that now I'm finding it hard to fix a piece of puzzle that i got too excited about and poured the pieces out before look at it first. I wish i'd known earlier.. but oh well all said and done.. I shall enter the work with a fresh perspective.
