WEDDING TVC - The Bridal Discount Book - Shot on Canon 5D Mark II using SmallHD DP6 Monitor
Our relationship with Bridal Discount Book began when Jeanette Sowerby managing director approached us to create a short web promo video for the website which can be viewed here BDB WEB PROMO starring our one and only Julie Dickson.
When we were later asked to shoot a television commercial for Bridal Discount Book we jumped at the chance as this was our first project to air on prime time TV. A lot was learnt dealing with the television network the TVC was to air on and also the process involved in getting the TVC through classification and delivered technically correct.
The premise of the TVC centres around a bride to be day dreaming about her wedding day and hinting at where she found the secrets to sourcing all the wedding vendors she needed.
Julie was offered the role of the bride in the commercial, a great step in her career and an awesome opportunity not to be missed.
The overall TVC was shot in one full day in Adelaide, South Australia at one location.
Lenses used on the TVC:
Canon 50mm f1.2 L series (a great bit of glass! you could very well shoot anything and everything on this lens! a must have in any photographer/cinematographers kit. very fast and great in low light situations - oh the bokeh!)
Canon 85mm f1.2 L series (a very good bit of glass however I'm not a big fan to be honest, the focus ring on this lens is extremely loose which in turn hinders your focus - inaccurate - use wisely with caution!)
Canon 24 - 105mm f4 L series (this comes standard if you buy the 5Dmkii in the bundle kit, it's not a fast lens so struggles in low light situations however it's a very tough and well made zoom lens offering you a great focal length and so versatile to use when outdoors, a great all round lens)
Canon 100mm f2.8 ( a simple and effective lens for the price, not L series however not to shabby either)
A big shout out must go to my crew on the day Christopher Warman, Rhiannon Miller, Kim Scheffel, Melanie Pokorny and Michael Connell.
