An Italian Job ( Mauro and Agnes Wedding )

This entry was posted on 12/31/2007 1:23 AM and is filed under Onsite.

What a perfect way to cap a wonderful year for us in IMACRON.

I am lost for words for this onsite video. I just  have a fondness for anything Italian --- cars, shoes, clothes. Coming from a nation of sweet spaghetti, macaroni swimming in  mayo and "everything on it" pizza,  I've always had the fascination for the genuine Italian experience.

We have been fortunate to film the wedding of Mauro ( italian ) and Agnes ( filipina ).  Even with the language barrier, we had lotsa fun doing all the scenes. Kudos to all the friends who gamely participated. Imagine these Italians, who come from the land of Ferraris, riding a jeepney to Church.

This onsite is a mix of humor and tender moments. And what fitting  music to accompany this than the soundtrack from the cheesiest movie of all time.... Cinema Paradiso.

So this is our year end video, dedicated to all those who never get tired of falling in love.


Filmed with our bazooka cam.  Notice the shallow focus. It's like photography in motion. I just love this camera.


Watch the video.

     just letting you know that your video is the number 1 requested video in our site. It has hogged all the bandwidth. You've got fans all the way from Poland and Sweden.
     
     If you want a DVD file, I can send you an internet link for you to download.  Let me know.
     
     
     Mabuhay !

  hey sir dominic!!
  
  thanks, once again..
  it really made mauro and me happy that you were able to prepare and deliver a universal onsite video showing the filipino wedding tradition with italian humor?!? heheh
  
  grabe, your team - i super love them!! michael angelo thanks for making me laugh and also tried to make me cry..
  
  thanks for replying to my text. as mentioned, our friends cant stop raving about our video...and maybe you are right - also the chicks!!
  im excited to show it during our party here in africa next month...it would be our highlight.
  
  lastly, our friends are pushing for us to send it to RAI, they have a certain portion in the show for travel and what have yous..
  
  what is also so exciting about it is that we could highlight the filipino tradition as well as the filipino talent in creating beautiful and character-filled videos..
  this is quite obscure for them...
  if it happens, we all go to ITALY!!
  
  filipinne uno!
  italia uno!
  imacron uno!!

     Thanks agnes !  Your video is also our favorite. It's a miracle that we were able to pull this off  in one day. Many are wondering if all those acting were filmed the same day.
     
     btw, if your friends stayed a bit longer, they could sign up as movie stars here. I'm off to Las Vegas next week for a speaking engagement in a wedding video convention. Can I show this to the Americans ?
