Goo Goo Dolls Wedding...Krista & Mike

Just got Skye Blu Photography's blog photo's from Krista & Mike's wedding at Cicada in downtown Los Angeles. Here's the link to her blog for all her pics, Very impressed, take a look.

I was their wedding Cinematographer for Stellar Films and just got my Super 8mm Film back from Spectra Film, wait till you see what my amazing colorist Doug did with it. Coming soon!

Ok, major sidebar for the record....being that the groom "Mike Malinin" here is the Goo Goo Dolls drummer, you might think he'd be a fairly good dancer, naturally, Nooooooope! And I got it all on film, ha-ha! Krista on the other hand is a dancing machine from heaven, seriously I've never seen anything like it before, that girl can boogie. Hopefully their kids will get his percussion skills and her dancing genes.

He gets off the soapbox.

Cheers,

R.

Joy Marie, Rocks!

So many times this year, I show up to shoot a wedding film and this is what I see. Joy Marie. She also got me hooked on drinking RockStar's during a shoot which I must say, Rocks! Thus the blog title, " Joy Marie, "Rocks"....get it? (Ha-ha) Gotcha! R.

16mm Motion Picture Wedding Cinematography

Little time for blogging lately. 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 gorgeous 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!

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!
