Melissa + Kevin’s Cuban Wedding Film Highlights

After I posted some of the photographs I took for Melissa & Kevin’s wedding wedding in Cuba, I was fortunate enough to receive a ton of comments on the blog which were so rewarding to read!  Thank you to everyone who took the time to look at the pictures and make a comment.  Of course, first and foremost I’m a videographer so along with snapping a few stills, I was primarily in Cuba to film their wedding.  For a destination wedding, there were actually quite a few people in attendance, something which is hard to achieve but which is a testament to Kevin & Melissa’s fun and outgoing nature.

When they first asked me to come to Cuba, Melissa was wondering if it would be possible to edit a trailer to show at their Vancouver reception on April 4th.  Of course our answer here at Cloud Nine is always – YES, so below is the clip we put together for them to show their friends and family what happened in Cuba on their wedding day.  I had to travel to Toronto for business, but I wish I could have been at the reception in person to watch everyone’s reaction as they shared the fabulous week that we all had in this tropical paradise.  I hope you had a Mojito (or 2) for me!

So without any more delay, here’s what they showed at their reception!

beautiful!
quick question:
does smug mug encode whatever video you upload or do you encode and upload an .flv?

Great work Bruce. Definitely worthy of a mojito or three! I had iTunes playing Calvin Harris – I’m not alone (Deadmau5 mix) when I watched it first time, not wedding type music but thought it went well with your film. Maybe try it if you get chance ;)

I love this clip! (Not just because you’re my huz!) lol. I am AMAZED and IMPRESSED beyond belief that you did this with one camera – no assistant! You’re a rock star + I love you.

Thanks for watching the clip everyone and taking the time to comment. Andrew, if you’re considering SmugMug, here’s what they say on their website re: acceptable formats:

99% of the time we can convert from whatever you upload to the ever-so-cool h.264 format, which works on iPods, iPhones, AppleTV, PlayStations, and many other consumer devices.

You might consider using a program like MPEG Streamclip or Quicktime Pro to convert to h.264 before uploading.

Hope that helps! See you in Austin!
