Wow… what a wedding! Same Day Edit/concept film

Well, what a weekend! Thanksgiving morning at 6AM we left for two locations.. Michael headed to Cocoa Beach to film Satyan, and Sheena & Jesse  headed all the way down to Cape Coral/ Punta Gorda to film the Mendhi for Jyoti.. Michael filmed from 9 until around noon then again that evening from 4 to around 6:30 then drove over to Punta Gorda to get ready for the next day.. Friday he was at the hotel with Jyoti at 8AM filming, then at the reception location to capture her pithi with a break of about 3 hours at which time he edited the footage from Thursday that he and Sheena captured. Then he filmed again from around 6PM until 11… went back to the room and edited for about an hour before passing out… 5AM we were up and headed to Jyoti’s hotel to film her getting ready…. Sheena shot most of her prep while Michael headed to Satyans hotel to film his prep and get ready for the baraat. 11:00 Ceremony time overlooking the beautiful Port Charlotte harbor… 2PM.. ceremony done… Michael edited the footage from Friday and that morning and the ceremony.. then left to cget the footage of Jyoti and Satyan acting like they arrived at the hotel.. then they changed into the clothes they wore a month earlier when he filmed them playing golf and strolling on the beach in Cocoa Beach… done.. run back and edit that footage… test projector supplied by venue… Laptop couldn’t see HDMI out… had to find extension cables…. got it working but it wouldn’t play from Premiere timeline so we had to render a file…. that’s fine but we needed one more shot and time was running out… it was almost 7PM… the doors open at 7:30….file rendered… now we need a shot of the B&G on the new red scooter so we rush outside and film them on the scooter outside of the venue… Cue up the music render a 2nd file… pout them both in one folder and make a new playlist in order so they play back in succession…We’re golden! The bridal party is announced, the same day edit starts and plays perfectly to a cheering 700 guests! They laughed, they cheered… it was a HUGE success! So without further adieu… We give you….
