A few weeks ago I attended a workshop to learn video from a friend of mine, Josh Smith from Cinematic Bride. This one on one workshop took place in Monroe, Louisiana just an hour from the fictional town of Bon Temps (for all you True Blood fans out there). Call me a dork, but I was very exited to be in Louisiana the weekend before the season premiere of True Blood. Speaking of which, have you guys been keeping up with the latest season? It has been fantastic! Alan Ball, the creator (writer/director) of True Blood has been on top of his game lately. Love him!

Back to the workshop… Josh is an amazing teacher! He took me through the steps of creating video from start to finish. I am no longer completely lost when I open up Final Cut Pro. Josh set up a video shoot with two models, who are a couple, which made it really easy to shoot. We worked for a few hours filming the two of them and getting some “scene setting” shots that we could put together to create a short video. We then went back to his studio and edited until midnight creating the video below.

Every once in a while I get the inspiration to try new things. Actually, that is putting it lightly, pretty much every week I am inspired to do something that I’ve never done before. Dating a filmmaker has definitely sparked my drive to learn new things. Ian and I are starting to work on a few wedding videos together and I am so excited about our results.

We are working on the wedding video for Colleen and Josh, whose rehearsal dinner video you see below. The wedding video is fantastic! I can’t wait to show you! For now you will just have to wait and take a look at their rehearsal dinner video that we photographed in Key Largo, FL.

Ian is the mastermind behind this video, but a few of my shots made it in too!

This weekend I am excited to be going to a workshop hosted by Cinematic Bride in Louisiana where I get to learn the ins and outs of making a video. This sure beats the two film classes that I took in college 6 years ago.

The rest of Colleen and Josh’s wedding is coming to this blog soon. Video and Photos!
