Only a few weeks left until josh and amy’s wedding day and I must admit that even I am excited for this great day! I mean finally, we will have the chance of being left in peace on fb from all the millions of countdown msg’s that we are subjected to against our will
We might finally be able to hear about something else… hopefully not honeymoon details please. But seriously, I am wishing you guys all the best for your special day together. So totz looking forward to sharing it with you both and seeing your lit-up faces gazing ever so gay-ly into each others eyes… not to mention the copious amounts of kissing that we are bound to see

This invitation video was both stressful and fun to make. We had a very short timeline to work with and there were several major problems during the shoot(s). I’m super stoked with the result however. We shot and edited this puppy in only a few days thanks to a stack of help very some very special friends of mine.

Thanks to Matt and Katie for everything - it certainly wouldn’t have been so good without you. Matt helped me brainstorm, edit and just complete the whole project in general. Matt also kindly let me use his 5D, lenses, cinevate slider, tripods during the shoot and his mac-book pro to edit on. Em helped with planning, setting up shots, painting the signs and carrying all the equipment around the place. A massive thanks to Josh and Amy for being so in love, kissing a lot and dealing with all the changes (and ideas) during the shoot - you guys very willing to go with anything and trust us completely while we do our thing. It seriously helps!

All in all - very happy with the product and heaps of good times shared along the way. This is honestly one of my favorite videos I’ve worked on lately and I’m so glad it was for such a special couple.

Congratulations guys, love you both heaps and wish you all the best.

I’ve officially finished Josh & Amy’s DVD invites and soon I’ll be posting the long-awaited clip for you all to have a look at. I think we might wait until the guests get to see them first, but soon after - watch this space for an exclusive look at a very exciting little clip.

I’m pretty chuffed with how it turned out really… I’ll leave you with a few photos of the project over the past few weeks of work.

enjoy

This is the “save the date” video from Josh & Amy’s engagement party. Needless to say - we had HEAPS of fun making this video in a random field in Toowoomba. Lots of… interesting stories

Enjoy.

Josh+Amy

Although this wasn’t the official engagement shoot for Josh & Amy, there was still some beautiful photos that I thought were worth sharing from our little adventure.

Congratulations to you both on your engagement! You guys are so fun to take pictures of and you make such a sweet couple!!!

Many good vibes and well wishes to you both.

I just found the REAL source of Wednesday’s Duststorm. I realized my friend Matt was not only present at the birth of the dust cloud that swept the nation the other day, he was fortunate enough to be recording at the time and captured the whole thing on camera!

Check out Matt’s amazing video!

a few minutes after the dust settled, the cloud had vanished and was well on it’s way to covering the rest of the nation with a layer of dirt.
Matt! I can’t believed that you were at the birth of this amazing phenomenon!

Matt was unfortunate enough to lose a camera during the filmming of this event.

So there we have it. The worst dust storm in 70 years, costing our economy over a billion dollars.
Can’t believe that it all came from an explosion that Matt was at somewhere in the outback… Amazing.

ahhh enjoy the cleanup.

It was a beautiful Saturday arvo today and we decided to shoot some photos for fun on the beach…

Here is some of the photos we took that day.

So it all started one wet Sunday afternoon…

Matt came up with this great idea to shoot a TVC in a bar for the Brevis 35mm adapter. So we started susing out pubs in order to find the perfect “look” for the scene that we were after. Katie kindly offered to take the leading role and with a little encouragement from Matt, she got dolled up for the shoot. We didn’t have to look too far because the pub across the road from Matt & Katie’s had all the feng shui we needed!

We shot the TVC for the Brevis 35mm adapter, ironically, with the Canon 5D and a 50mm 1.4 lens. It took us about an hour to shoot and then 3 more or so to edit it up. I was in charge of the title animation and layout. After a little internet inspiration and talking Matt in to some appropriate background music via an out-vote, we were on our way…

We sent the clip off to “Cinevate” and they LOVED IT, so we were in business! The clip was viewed by tens of thousands of keen videography and communication professionals and enthusiasts at THE BIGGEST videography conference in the world - NAB. The event was hosted by Las Vegas, USA and Matt was fortunate enough to attended earlier this year. Matt’s Pics HERE.

We had fun doing this shoot given the frivolous nature of the clip. Congrats to Matt for coming up with the awesome idea & to Katie for her acting skills.

And thanks to Em for being best boy grip

So I have had a break from blogging recently, and for good reason. My dad is very ill and battling cancer, so all of my spare time has been taking up caring for him and spending time with friends and family. Thanks to all of our closest friends/family for their love, well wishes and support during this time - for anyone who has been through similar rough patches, you will know how hard these times are for us and we can’t express how much we need you all.

So I am getting ready to post some recent pictures and videos of the things that I’ve been involved with of late in between life’s little dramas… so stay tuned to pick up where we left off and continue through this mad house that is the life of glendavidwilson.
