Wedding? Yup, you heard me right. FortyOneTwenty is now shooting wedding videos. This was our first crack at it. It was a real challenge working with our new Canon 7D cameras...lots of kinks we still need to work out, but I'm really happy with the result. If you have a minute, check out a trailer we put together...CLICK HERE. Congratulation Po and Candis!
Also, if you know anyone that might want a video for their wedding...don't hesitate to send them our way.
This week has felt like Christmas for us here at FortyOneTwenty. On Tuesday I got a call letting us know that our pre-ordered Canon 7D cameras were finally in and ready to be picked up. We've been playing with them and really getting a feel for using a photo camera to capture HD video. It's really different, but the images you can capture are beautiful!
We are selling our current video setup and transitioning to a more light weight situation with these new 7D cameras. With this new transition we are hoping to delve into the wedding industry. It's not something I thought we'd be doing, but I'm hoping it will allow me to spend more time doing what I love the most...shooting and editing video.
Below are some pics taken that show a little of the behind the scenes action at the "Light Up The Dark" shoot. We used a Panasonic HVX200 with a Letus 35mm adapter. Makes the camera really heavy, but the shots are beautiful!
We were very blessed to be able to shoot another music video for the Washington Project's new single "Light Up The Dark". Both filming and editing are done (for the most part). It took us a full night from 10pm - 6am to get all the shots we needed, but the band and crew worked really well together and I think it came out great. Above are some screen-shots we grabbed from the video.
If you haven't heard of Washington Projects, please do yourself a favor and visit their website. Also, Rapzilla (a Christian hip-hop and rap music magazine) posted an entry about the video as well. We will be posting it on the site once we have the go-ahead.
Here at FortyOneTwenty, a big part of what we do is focused on ministry and the church. This week, we are really excited to be able to support Steve in going on a missions trip to Nicaragua. It's a 10 day trip where he will work with a group of 19 other people from
Existence Church to help renovate facilities for an orphanage and a church. This is something he has been looking forward to, and I'm happy FortyOneTwenty can be a part of helping him get there.
