FX Films – the Cinematic Wedding Showreel 2010

FX Films - the Cinematic Wedding Showreel 2010
* iPhone/iPod/iPad version free to download, simply request by email or blog comment

We’ve had such an amazing time over the last 4 years, filming such wonderful couples during one of the most special days of their entire lives.

To sum up all the emotion and fun from all the weddings we’ve covered has been a much harder task that I could ever imagine.  Infact I completely underestimated just how painstakingly difficult the choices would be to select shots and sections for the showreel.

But after a few intense archive-retrieving and editing sessions, I can now tell you that I am very pleased with just how much I squeezed into this piece, yet still showing our signature style and techniques.

So without further ado, FX Films proudly presents our Cinematic Wedding Showreel.

Richard, Creative Director

p.s.  A huge THANKYOU to all the couples we’ve met and filmed and are now the showreel stars!  Couldn’t have done it without you :)

FX Films dabbles with photography again

News/Updates 2 Comments »

As an extension of a previous blog post, we have decided to post some more photos from our new camera equipment (they take both stills and full-HD video).

We have a very keen interest in photography, which probably explains our close relationship with Lime Leaf Weddings.

So without further ado, here are some photos we’ve taken in the last couple of weeks (some more can be found here):

Crumpler + Canon in our Wedding Filming Kitlist

News/Updates No Comments »

Providing you, our clients, with cinematic wedding films involves investment in some pretty amazing gear.

And in the last few months, we’ve taken very wise steps to include a brand new camera, lenses, and accessories. The Canon 7D gives a filmic look that we know you will love. And to hold the 7D body and lens, we have a fantastic Crumpler Jimmy Bo 400 bag. It’s modern, funky, and cool. As is the Crumpler B.B.Pouch, which simply attaches to my belt, and gives me easy access to spare batteries, cards, filters.

These two short corporate clips I filmed earlier in the week proved I was able to keep my filming baggage to a minimum (travelling abroad, and a packed party) whilst still being able to deliver instant filmic results.

To France and back, with the Canon 7D

All in all, we’re very very happy with them!

You’ve watched the film, you’ve viewed the photos… but what else could complement your wedding day memories?

A Simplicity Wedding Poster of course!
Simplicity‘ = Cinematography + Photography

Our partner photography team, Lime Leaf Weddings, will hand us your chosen high-resolution photo, and we at FX Films will do the designing and professional printing required to turn it into a double-coated matt paper poster, in whichever size you can handle! (A3, A2, A1).  Contact us for prices.

A quick dabble with photography!

Anyone who’s ever met us at a wedding knows we have absolute respect for all photographers. For a start, we’ve all been chosen by the same wedding couple, and also we just love photography in general! Hence our great working relationship with Lime Leaf Weddings.

I love my new Canon 7D dSLR camera. I’ve even found I can use my knowledge of colour grading from the wedding edits I do, to achieve some nice looks.

I hope my first SLR attempts look ok to you … be nice ok ;)

Wow, time has literally flown by - FX Films is 4 years old today!

It only seems like yesterday I nervously filmed that very first wedding!

And, as our wedding films have become better and better, so too have the logos :) I can finally say I’m sticking with the current one!

Good, clear audio is a huge and important aspect of the filming process.

We have several superb items in our kit-list to assist us in achieving this, but all you need to know, is how it sounds in the end:
