Mel and Merrick: Rock and Roll!
weddings, videos October 30th, 2006Once in a while, you meet a couple you just totally gel with. Mel and Merrick is one of them. We had the leeway to pick a song and just went crazy with the colors and cutting.
Here’s the Onsite Video.

And here’s what we did for their audio-visual presentation - a take on documenting the roots of this rock and roll duo.

Here’s what was on ther checklist going into the pre-production meeting.
1. no lovey-dovey walk in the park (so i was thinking “album cover” when we did the shoot)
2. no mushy soundtrack (jim brickman out, smashing pumpkins and snow patrol in)
3. no stiff interviews (it was more “conversation”)
4. none of the usual stuff (needed to wrack my brain extra hard)
Cheers!

Jason! I didn’t realize we’re in your blog. Great! You are plain brilliant and the best videographer I know. Very easy to work with. Everyone at the wedding remembered the videos as the best part of the wedding–we absolutely agree. I must have referred you to at least 10 people that day and another 5 after the wedding. I can now be your undercover agent. =)

Hi Jason,
I’m Mel’s friend from university in Vancouver. I just wanted to say that your work on her wedding was great. Even though I could not make it, by watching your videos, I feel happy to have been able to enjoy a small part of it.
