Sharing this with my friends who are not on Facebook...
Our wedding photo montage played before the 1st march in.
I'm not very sure if those not on my Facebook list would be able to view the above as I took the embed code from there. If cannot, you can view the YouTube version below. Unfortunately the audio has been removed by YouTube due to copyright issues.
Notes on the video:
Apparently, it was so "engaging" that even the swordbearers opened the side door and peeked in. As kh and I stood outside and prepared for the march in, we heard peals of laughter too. [Aside: Must be laughing at him la.]
This photo montage charting our childhood phase, growing up years, 8 years of couplehood and wedding photo shoot is put together by my sis Joanne.
She has done wedding montages for her friends but this is the first time she experiments with 3D effect as seen in the childhood phase.
Kh and I are very pleased with the video. We have received compliments from countless and enquiries from a few. I think my sis can jolly well consider being a freelance "wedding photo montager". Haha...
Oh yes, my personal touch to the video would be being an irritating director who keeps requesting for certain effects, which photos to use, dictating to use the songs I want etc. Had initially wanted a personal touch in the form of cute drawings of us to tell the story of how we didn't have favourable impression of each other. However, I finished drawing him and didn't have enough time to draw myself and so it was the perfect excuse not to add that in.
Songs used:
1) Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
2) Everything - Michael Buble
3) I Finally Found Someone - Bryan Adams & Barbra Streisand

ReplyDeleteIt would be good to be able to hear the music. It would definitely make a big diffrence to e slideshow. Thats quite a lot o nice photos but pity on the silent movie. Any more?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteErm... I'll assume that both of you are not the same person? Do leave a pseudonym the next time round. It's good to know more about my readers or "stumblers".
Thanx btw. =D
I realised that one would only be able to view the vidz from the facebook link if they're on my friends list. Sorry about that. As for the YouTube one it's really a pity that there's no music.
It's no fun watching silent movie eh?

Hi Jolene!
ReplyDeleteHope my comment isn't too intrusive :) Been a silent follower of your blog, reading up updates on little Char :)
Is it possible to know what programme did your sis use for your wedding montage? Hoping to create a montage of my own to that effect too. The montage is fab!
Many thanks in advance! - Cecilia
Hi Cecilia,
ReplyDeleteNo worries. It isn't intrusive at all. My sis said she used both Adobe after effects and Adobe premiere. I dunno what those are though coz I'm an adobe noob.
Hopefully you manage to put together a fantastic montage of your own! It's great that you know how to do it.
PS: Did you come to know of my blog or ourfeistyprincess first?
Hi Jolene,
ReplyDeleteThanks for replying! Being a IT klutz, I'll be happy if my montage is half as good as ur wedding montage :p
IIRC, I came across ur blog 1st? If my memory doesn't fail me, I was doing some research on google blog search and it led me to one of ur posts :)
Hi Cecilia,
ReplyDeleteHaha... So you're an IT klutz like me too! If you're interested, my sister actually does freelance wedding montage. My montage was her first foray into the 3D part (the childhood photos) and the photo collaging effect of moving from one photo to the next in a zoomed in photoboard (during the teenaged and years before the marriage) rather than merely flashing photos after photos a la a slideshow. Since then, 4 other people also requested for those effects.
However of course if you're on a budget, then you can experiment on your own. I understand how wedding is such a lot of money and whenever we can save, we'll save right? =) For me, I'm more into the artistic details so I know that I wouldn't want a normal slideshow. It's fortunate that I've my sister to "direct" and "dictate" what I wanted. lol... of course I gave her ang pow for her hard work.
Hahaha, I'm definitely more klutz coz I can't even maintain a blog or even do photo collages... I even struggle with powerpoint! ;p
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the additional infor! Would love to seek your sis' assistance if she doesn't mind working on a super tight deadline. I'm not doing the montage for a wedding though (tho I hope to get married soon, waiting for the bf to propose :)) but for my organisation's 30th anniversary, is this fine with her? We need to get the montage ready by 25th this month. When the montage is done, we will burn the montage into CDs to be distributed to about 800 guests at our D&D in Sept.
If your sis doesn't mind the deadline, maybe we can discuss the details offline? My email is purrplelicious@gmail.com Would be more than happy to provide more information :)
Sorry for the super long post ya :p Look forward to your reply!
Oh, I struggle with PowerPoint too so no worries at all. *lol* My PPT slides are always very basic when it comes to presenting stuff for work.
ReplyDeleteI'll forward to my sister what had transpired between us and get her to contact you asap.
You could also add her on FB if you have an a/c. Her FB batch is on her blog here: http://www.thestoryofjoanneloh.blogspot.com/
Wait for her email! =)
