CINEMACAKE Filmmakers

December 07, 2009

Soon you will see a new name and brand identity for the wedding and event filmmaking side of our business.  Here’s a sneak peek.

What comes to mind when you hear “wedding video?”  You may not be surprised to learn that many folks imagine a man in a tux with a big camera on his shoulder and bright video lights, attempting to conduct unsolicited interviews with guests at their tables.  Some folks think about the end product itself; a two hour snorefest.

We know what most of our clients want;  private, intimate moments depicted on film.  The challenge of a great event cinematographer is to not disturb or manipulate the setting, just capture it in all its honesty and truth.

Filmmaking is the medium we have chosen as our way to express ourselves artistically since 2001.  Our candid cinematography style not only ensures guests are comfortable, but in most cases, they are unaware a film is even being made.

Private, discreet coverage of special candid moments are possible with small, low-light sensitive cameras which means no bright lights.  In fact, we’re so unobtrusive, it’s often hard to tell us apart from the guests.

On the post-production side, a personal touch is given to each film.  Authentic, unobtrusive filmmaking comes to life in the hands of a great editor.  Our editors are artists too.  They have the task of telling the story in an entertaining and emotional fashion.  Our films move at a pace that never causes our clients to reach for the fast-forward button.

Our new name will represent our philosophy, our style, and our determination to continue to attract the client who says “I don’t want video.”

Stay tuned.  We’re going to have some fun.
