We’re just so thankful that we made the list again for the fourth consecutive year.

Our deep gratitude to the industry peers who voted for us and hearty congratulations to the uber-talented (and self-less) filmmakers who are also on the list.  Cheers!

It was all work in San Francisco for me last week.  It was totally different being just a speaker to being part of the ReFrame Collective, (planning, organizing, skyping, budgeting, emailing people no end).  I guess I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Work it was but seeing everything coming into fruition, and hearing the responses from the attendees made everything well worth it.  A very special thanks goes out to my partners and Julie, Kristen and Bruce for inviting me to be part of the experience.  You cannot even begin to imagine how much time, effort and finances went into this project.

The best ReFrame ever!  That’s what we promised and that’s what we delivered.

Thanks to all the press, sponsors and of course, the attendees who trusted us.  We hope you had as much of a great time as we did.

I kinda purposely didn’t go out as much to explore the city.  Same story last April.  Makes for all the reason to go back and enjoy this beautiful city for once.

On the last day, however, I was able to go to my new favorite place on earth - Rasputin - to pick up a couple of DVDs.

We won four Golds last year at the WEVA Creative Excellence Awards.  I suppose there was no way to go but down. 

Thus my apprehension of heading down to Orlando for the Gala/Awards night,  but what a night it turned out to be!

Now more than ever, the Filipinos once again asserted their dominance in wedding videography in the international scene.  We counted a total of 20 awards between 9 Pinoy companies.  Unbelievable!  I heard they’re bringing down WEVA to the PI to save on plaque shipping costs ;-).

As for us?  A total of five awards including TWO GOLDS! Not too shabby!.

It was also an awesome experience meeting up for the first time with the headliners of Reframe San Francisco.  Man!  It’s gonna be the best RF yet!

We hope to see you at this weekend’s bridal show at the PICC forum (CCP Complex).  We got some great deals on our HD package.

See you there!

On the wedding day, If the bride is happy - everybody is happy  =)  (well yeah, the groom too ;-))

Exactly how Veronica felt - positively brimming with joy and enthusiasm!

Cheers!

Will work for money (and passion of course).

Shoot us an email and the Philippines’ finest will gladly document your wedding.

Don’t worry no technical mumbo-jumbo here (well at least it’s kept to a minimum).

HD - short for High Definition.  Simply put, it’s higher quality video made available for your wedding day.  The recorded image is much much bigger, clearer, more vibrant and life-like.

So, why go HD?

1.  You want to maximize that 42 inch LCD or Plasma TV you’re buying for your new home.
2.  You’re  getting your husband that PlayStation3 or Bluray player for Christmas.  (In exchange of course with that Tiffany charm bracelet)
3.  You want the best possible recording technology available today to preserve your wedding day memories.  Nuff said.

Why HD?  It’s 2008, I guess the better question is - When HD?

With screen size alone the difference is pretty obvious (HD is 1440×1080 pixels, Standard Definition DVD is 720×480, YouTube is a mere 320×240).  To give you an idea, here’s a relative comparison chart:

The proof is in the pudding you see.  Better take a look at this web encode of an HD clip we made.
