Andrew & Ivana were fantastic, hospitable and gracious. Not to mention extremely photogenic to the max. Every once and a while I thought, wow, this couple is more attractive and have more charisma in person than in any movie, tv show or magazine cover I've ever seen them in. I think the <a href="http://www.websters-online-dictionary.com/definition/photogenic" target="_blank">webster's dictionary</a> is right now as we speak, changing the picture for the word photogenic to one with them in it. Yep. So besides, having such marvelous subjects to shoot, and being involved in one of the most lovely weddings of all time, I must say, the <a href="http://www.firestonewine.com/ne_private_special_events.html" target="_blank">Firestone Vineyards</a> people as a whole are top shelf in my opinion. <strong><a href="http://www.soigneproductions.com/" target="_blank">Tonya Szele, their wedding planner</a></strong> and recent former head honcho over the events and practically everything else at Firestone pulled it off in her usual easy-going style and grace. <strong><a href="http://www.firestonewine.com/ne_private_special_events.html" target="_blank">Jill Remy</a>,</strong> the current on-site planner for all of <a href="http://www.firestonewine.com/ne_private_special_events.html" target="_blank">Firestone Vineyards</a>, teamed up with <a href="http://www.soigneproductions.com/" target="_blank">Tonya</a> to knock this one out of the park, or "meadow" if you will. All I had to do was try not to faint from all the beauty filling my lens. It was truely a breathtaking day of shooting. They say pictures are worth a thousand words so here are some photos provided by <strong>their exquisite photographers "<a href="http://www.mibelleinc.com/" target="_blank">mi belle inc.</a>"</strong> Enjoy. Oh and you can see a super fun aged clip on the website.......sooooo go ahead and take a look. </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div>Russell Fowlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02072175626888560770noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121277624849009217.post-68727161389742432252008-12-13T19:23:00.000-08:002008-12-17T10:57:22.805-08:00Sally Field Family Wedding WeekendI'm off to shoot the wedding video for Sally Field's Son tomorrow.

Been busy crafting my latest masterpiece. That didn't sound too humble did it? Sorry. What I mean is that 16mm Film is my favorite of all media to work with and that masterpieces inherently belong to this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gorgeous</span> film stock. Arguably I presume, but who cares! 16mm is sooooo hot! It's warm buttery lens takes my eye to an amusement park of wonderment and excitement. Oh, don't get me wrong, Super 8mm is cool, very very cool, no question but 16mm film is hot! Smoothe and luscious. I love the 16. I think I'll marry it and guess what?, yep!, film the wedding in........you guessed it, 16mm motion picture film. Ha-ha! <br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">I think the summer heat is making me loopy. Anyway, take a peek at my latest creation on Stellar Films website under; "film clips". The bride is the "Farmer John Hotdog Heiress" and the groom is the head chef at the Dodger Stadium. Ironically, the Dodger Stadium is famous for their "footlong" hotdogs right. Guess who makes the Dodger Stadium's "Footlongs"? Farmer Johns of course. I'm telling you, there's a story here folks, I'm only telling the love story of their wedding day however, in my favorite of all films......16mm!</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">...............xoxo Russell</div>Russell Fowlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02072175626888560770noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121277624849009217.post-763643005728053722008-12-11T13:50:00.000-08:002008-12-17T11:02:03.950-08:00I can't help it...

To simplify matters I'm merging Stellar Films and Bon Vivant Cinema into one Central company, using my own name, Russell Fowler Studios. Hopefully this will simplify the mystery of my comanies once and for all, since so many of my friends in the business have asked me again and again, "what's the difference between <a href="http://www.bonvivantcinema.com/">Bon Vivant Cinema</a> and <a href="http://www.stellarfilms.net/">Stellar Films</a>?.

Yep, it's a "video" camera you see there. As you know, I'm a cinematographer, and I normally shoot with "Motion Picture Film Cameras", but when I do shoot "video", I roll with this little baby. Weather I'm shooting Super 8mm, 16mm or even video, Canon cameras are definitely my preference. I've been in love with Canon ever since they sponsored me for producing my extreme sports "Unleashed" surfing TV Show" for DirecTV pay-per-view. Sooooo much fun that was!

I think it's further helpful if your cinematographer and editor think along the same lines for cohesiveness. <a href="http://stellarfilms.net/">Stellar Films</a> weddings are all shot and edited by me, <a href="http://stellarfilms.net/">Russell Fowler</a>. However, <a href="http://bonvivantcinema.com/">Bon Vivant Cinema</a> being my associate company, has well established crews of shooters and editors who handle those weddings. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What's the difference?</span> Well, the Bon Vivant Cinema weddings are shot mostly with video with incredible attention to detail as with Stellar Films and I personally review each wedding before it goes out to ensure consistant quality. What you see on the website clips should be what your own wedding video looks like. I'd be glad to make a separate post on this topic, just ask and I'll fill you in.<br /><br />(SIDEBAR NOTE)...MY SCREEN NAME ON MY CELL PHONE IS "STORYTELLER" - Can anybody figure out why?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Russell<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw3T1WzA0-8C2RGY04lcSoHVmBEwbfPrfvk8oL-T2O6F4dqoLITt1lAF4bygjnPjIEkGFSyshDXIQtXlIxhnw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Russell Fowlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02072175626888560770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121277624849009217.post-6429849554994452562008-07-03T22:54:00.000-07:002008-07-03T23:18:32.630-07:00Summer 2008 Wedding Season is here.<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">What a kicking start to 2008 wedding season.

I'm a wedding cinematographer. I shoot weddings in film, Super 8mm & 16mm, occasionally film with video and sometimes video alone. This is my brand spanking new blog for all of my companies, all having to do with capturing images at your wedding. I'm doing business to make it simple under one business entity called Russell Fowler Studios. RFS is made up of Stellar Films, Bon Vivant Cinema and Agency-Studios. The companies are differentiated as follows: 1. My brand new company for photography using associate photographers is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0); "><a href="http://www.agency-studios.com">Agency-Studios</a></span>. 2. My lower priced wedding videography company also primarily hiring my long-time associates to shoot and edit is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0); "><a href="http://www.bonvivantcinema.com">Bon Vivant Cinema</a></span>. It's lower priced since we offer a conservative amount of film and primarily relies on less expensive "videotape" to capture your wedding memories. 3. My signature motion picture film company, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0); "><a href="http://www.stellarfilms.net">Stellar Films</a></span>, using only Super 8mm & 16mm Films to shoot your wedding. Sound is however included via digital sound recording separately. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please do come by and visit often.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">x...Russell</div>Russell Fowlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02072175626888560770noreply@blogger.com1
