// australia, china, dominican republic, england, france, hong kong, jamaica, cancun, cancun again, niagara falls, new jersey, philippines, san francisco, sweden, usa again, vancouver, vancouver again all in the last 12 months. it has been a huge challenge to keep up with updates and i can't believe its a year since i last shared work with the community. sometimes i am actually in disbelief that i can be this busy still with all the shooting and traveling LOL, but the next half a year is going be even more hectic. i sincerely THANK those of you that take the time to ask for more videos and the warm praises; and i also have to give a HUGE thanks to thank those who seem to always immediately report to me when my work gets stolen time and (unfortunately) time again. nevertheless, i realize i have in storage weddings and commercials that were shots/complete/delivered months, + even years (GASP) that i haven't made public, so i figured id break the trend today. going to start off with a familiar couple, sameer+priya. you may recognize them from their immortalized love story here. http://vimeo.com/26820293 hindu wedding films have been made rampant in our industry in these past years, and while i have shot my share of them in the past…. i'll be the first to admit that i always wanted to document one in my own my way, under my company, ideas, and vision. 3 days, 30 hours of footage + a few hundred hours of post production later … here it is in full myw immersion, culture, exhaustion, storytelling, style + cinema. please watch, enjoy + share. sameer+priya if you are reading this… vacations and visits at my house and your house one day. love you two kids and thank you. oh and just a quick shout-out to all budding entrepreneurs out learn from those who have succeeded, i found this Forbes article featuring Priya's father an interesting and awesome read. http://www.forbes.com/sites/monteburke/2012/06/06/the-ultimate-neighborhood-bank/ TECHNICAL + PRODUCTION TIDBITS for my industry friends and colleagues. our love // seryn used with permission. thank you themusicbed.com shot with boy wonder/mark klassen, and had mentoree/student/buddy greg lassik offer his generous help+equipment cameras used: - 3 Canon 5dmkii's - 2 Canon 7ds - 24p COLOR CORRECTION was via combination of fcp rgb balance, 2-way + 3-way colour corrector + newbluefx + modified mb filters. - custom ultra flat profiles mated for glass (zeiss/canon) - modified technicolor cinestyle profiles (zeiss/canon) - nicely extends dynamic range in lower light conditions, but the image requires a very strong understanding of colour theory and cleanup ability to make the image feel warm and rich in tone, color and contrast. as i shared at when teaching at adobe (sanFran), university of sydney, boracay philipnes last year, matching shots takes work but even the most challenging shots can be matched provided you understand what you are looking for and looking at.
