Cheap Photo & Video Wedding Coverage --- Thread 4

[belle_v2g]

^exactly sis. Kase who knows baka the videos you watched ay request pala ng clients din nila na gusto yung ganung style.
Better talk to them instead na refund agad. I'm sure they're flexible enough to adjust to clients' needs.

Sis Chilli113: yeah those vimeos are my fave as well pati yung isa na chinese din tapos nelqyn uy yung photographer. And recently yung pretty girl na si jaja samaniego ang photograpger.

Kitty's sde is really nice and elegant. Wala na ako nakikitang ganyan from dreamechanics. Most of the videos maybe 5 months ago, diko na matapos panoorin samantalang dati inuulit ulit ko pa.

Yung sa ronac na sde, like ko yan, isa yan sa nakita ko na kaya gusto ko maga dd for save the date. Pero wag na lang din siguro.

Sana magbalik yung dati nilang style. Dati nga nung 2013,  20k lang rate nila with sde kaso diko binook dahil nalalabuan ako. Buti maganda na quality nila kaso naging 25k yung sde.

Isusulat ko mga requests ko din. Ano yung time lapse sis?

I cringe at all the DRAMA of dreamechanics videos!! I cant stand watching it lalo na its all the same format. I can even predict already what will happen next in the video, always nalang same sequence yan... 1.Outside hotel 2. Voice over of Personal Vows 3. Back to preps/makeup 4. walking down aisle 5. exchange of gifts during preps 6. grand entrance at reception 7. First Dance........... So predictable. Paulit ulit lahat ng videos. Parang wedding video factory- and the editing isnt as good as in older films.

That's why for me I will choose the music myself and give explicit instructions na bawal any audio/sound other than the music I selected. That way wala silang chance to insert mga drama drama crying dialogue, or mga pa-funny jokes said during preps na hindi naman funny pero nasasama sa video!! Pero wala na ako magagawa on how they edit the film.

Ouch sis Chili1113. You probably cringed at our video too which was posted just a few days ago by Dreamechanics. haha! It had the usual sequence you mentioned. I also cringe everytime I hear myself during vows, there are times nifoforward ko pa everytime I replay it.

May pagkukulang din on my end since super busy during preps I was no longer able to choose the music and yung mga shots or style na gusto ko. Pero the song they used on our SDE, di mainstream pero it grew on me na.

I met with them when they showed me Vince and Kitty's sde. Teej and Mel mentioned it was the couple's preference na linear yung sequence and walang voice over of vows. They are open to suggestions. Make a list and send it to them na lang then remind them a few days before your wedding. I'm pretty sure they can adjust to your needs.

By the way, after booking the videographer and photographer, I stopped looking at their most recent videos and even the work of other photographers or videographers. I just didn't want to compare our wedding with anyone else's na lang.

Our video may not be the Mayad, Bob Ong and Jason M level. Ang ending, happy naman kami. And some of our guests complimented our video as well. Good luck!

[Maple19]

No worries sis Chili1113. Natawa nga ako, I didn't feel bad about it, probably because happy naman kami sa naging output. I requested na lang talaga na medyo upbeat lang yung song. And we liked the main song they used naman. Honestly, di ko sya masyado naappreciate when it was shown during reception. Pero when I watched it when they posted it more than a week after, naging giddy and excited na ako.

Anyway yung linear sequence, walang jump sa timeline. Meaning sunod sunod lang from preps, ceremony, in between (post nup), then hanggang grand entrance kung aabot pa.

[Maple19]

Thanks sis!  Anyway, sis may team B na pala ang dreamechanics, so please clarify and insist with them na sina Teej and Melanie yung dadating sa wedding mo.

Although out of topic, careful ka lang sa church coordinator ng Magallanes Church medyo strict sa start time of the entourage procession/bridal march. Kelangan 2:45PM start na ang march. I super loved the church din. Sakto lang ang laki.

[Maple19]

Thanks so much sis Chili1119! Good luck on your preps and wedding day

Mga sis, baka puro Team B yung mga nakikita natin lately? Kasi ang layo layo nung video ni Vince and Kitty sa videos nila ngayon. Hindi pa naman naka indicate sa contract ko na si Teej and Mel mismo ang dapat andun sa wedding ko.. Tuwing kelan daw sila magpapadala ng Team B? Thanks sis Maple19 sa tip.

  1.Outside hotel 2. Voice over of Personal Vows 3. Back to preps/makeup 4. walking down aisle 5. exchange of gifts during preps 6. grand entrance at reception 7. First Dance........... So predictable. Paulit ulit lahat ng videos. 

sis natawa ko dito, kuhang kuha mo talaga! lol. oh well, its sad but i have to agree. it came to a point na i stopped watching their videos na kasi ulit ulit lang naman. different faces and different places pero same format, kulang na lang pati song same na rin. although na-appreciate ko pa rin naman siya, yun nga lang ayoko na manood kasi alam ko na mangyayare. unlike dati na super abang ako for their next sde upload.
 
pero mas prefer ko pa rin yung format nila than other videographers in their price range. trip ko kasi talaga yung madrama lol. personal preference lang. maybe they just need more experience to gain more technique and versatility like other expensive and sikat videographers. they still have 10 months to practice before our wedding! hopefully they get better pa by then

Better if you tell them na you don't want the usual sa SDE mo. For our SDE (pero AltXVideos ako) we didn't have the usual shot ng bride's dress na nasa mannequin pa. We also didn't have the exchange of gifts (We decided to skip gift giving). Also, since we didn't say any personal vows, wala rin yun sa video namin. The problem with personal vows kasi not everyone can speak well. Minsan tunog nagbabasa, or dahil sa kaba hindi maganda labas sa video. I even told them I don't like super lapit na shots tapos slow mo.

Be very vocal na lang about the things you like and don't like.

Thanks sis!  Anyway, sis may team B na pala ang dreamechanics, so please clarify and insist with them na sina Teej and Melanie yung dadating sa wedding mo.

sis confirmed ba na may team b nga sila? we met a coordinator din kasi na nagchismis saken nito but i never followed up with them kung totoo. wala nga sa contract na si teej and mel mismo pupunta. nakakalungkot naman kung biglang team b pala mapupunta samin. i really liked them both pa naman when we met.

[kisses1417]

When i booked them, ang sabi nila one event per day lang sila kaya sila daw yung magshshoot.

[juwie]

I just asked Dreamechanics if sila ba personally (Teej and Mel) ang magko-cover ng wedding ko, sabi nila, "hi ma'am, we only have 1 team on your wedding day, both of us will be there "

[kiracharlie]

kiracharlie: thanks for the tips!! I will definitely make a list of my requests and guidelines for the videographer. Same here we are not having personal vows, or any gift/letter giving during preps hehe so come to think of it, there really wont be any need for a voice over in the video.

Ang voice over namin ay yung sermon ng pari pero luckily maganda sermon niya so ok lang. If you want, I can send you a link of our SDE. BTW, I got married at Magallanes Church too. Ganda ng lighting so ang nice sa video and photos.

[kisses1417]

I will send dreamechanics too a message. Shocks december bride pa naman ako. Hopefully wala din team b sakin kasi out of town wedding ko

[shrek250190]

Hi mga sis.  I send a message to Teej and Melanie.  Same response from them.  They will be there on our wedding day and accept only 1 booking on our day.  :-)

[annamarie88]

Hi! Sino ba photographers based in Batangas / Tagaytay para no OOT fee hehe Thanks!

[astarte]

^ sis check mo si brilliant bum/photographs by serg cruzem sa fb. Afaik 10% lang ng chosen package mo ang oot if tagaytay area hindi man no oot fee, minimal lang. You may check his profile na lang din para makita mo ang mga style nya. Siya ang photo/video ko nung wedding. Mas okay if pm mo na lang siya personally regarding your budget, concerns and requests. He's easy to get along with and responds promptly hope this helps.

[khalee]

Hi sis @annamarie88, here are some p/v I've researched na no or minimal oot fee sa tagaytay. not sure lang for batangas:
A & A photography
Camzar
Freshminds
J Franco - qc based but no oot fee for tagaytay
Jason Angcao
Marc Parra photographics
Shuttersteve
Vidlens production - video only
Hope this helps! Happy preps sis!
