When my friend Hayashi mentioned he managed to borrow a D90 to test out for a wedding, I promptly jumped on the opportunity to try out this Nikon offering solely on it’s video capabilities. So there I was, learning to use the camera and getting a feel to a new machine during the makeup session itself! Keeping a steady hand with that rather light equipment is mighty hard, with lots of jumps n such – well, since I manage to capture lots (and LOTS) of shaky footage – heck, might as well do an music video “shaky cam” style. Truth to be said, I really wasn’t sure how to present the video, altho I had some previz of some shots in my head going into the wedding.

Daniel and Charis was kind enough to let me shoot on the sidelines with no experience whatsoever in wedding videography. Thanks! U guys were great! I really enjoyed your night of songs, blessings and laughter. U both were a real sport too, willing to trust us on some of our funny ideas and “mannequin” posing.  Even the song in this Mtv wasn’t sufficiently long to cater for all the footage that I took! The wedding wat that happening… I hope the compilation of the dinner session here is presentable. :)

Enjoy (or try to…haha) this little virgin wedding video with a borrowed camera and give me feedback as well. Really appreciate it, guys n girls.

The photography part is kautim by hayashi (www.hayashiartz.com) can view it on his web.

  1. Wooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    You are the man~!!!!! You the man!!!!! You totally raise up my mojo man!!!! Nice work bro nice work!!!!! xD

  2. The correct term is VIDEO. If the video is a MUSIC VIDEO then it’s a MUSIC VIDEO.

    MTV is a Channel. :) This term is commonly wrongly used by Asian as far as I have observed, especially on HK / TW entertainment show.

    example – “这个是阿产哥最新的 MTV.” :P

    Anyway, the music video was nicely done. Only saw first 30 seconds, cos gotta go out now.

    I notice how the AFing was accurate and well.

    And were you using VR lens when recording?

  3. coool!!!!! want to ask hor, did you had problem of the Liveview on too long and off by itself?

    Also, what you use for video edit ah? heheheh.. want to 偷师 ma :)

  4. yric,bonus,hayashi,zero,achiet:: Thanks guys, mojo reli high now. whahaha…how we wish Nikon come out with a in-built steady cam.
    goldfries:: Thanks man!! Really appreciate it, I’ve changed all the Mtv terms back to the correct ones u suggested. TQ. feedback reli welcome!
    HoSeng:: I’ve only used regular camcorders only so I can’t compare to pro ones. I guess I like the DOF play using camera lens. more freedom of expression.
    ikan:: No problems with liveview going off becoz I never shot more than 3 minutes in a shooting run. I had problems with focusing tho. I use Adobe Premiere and After Effects.

    What is lacking is a stereo mic input, anti-shake and tilt-LCD in the D90.

  5. Chester:: hihi. i alwez liked video production (from my animation background) but the hardware is just waaaay too expensive! If I kena lottery, I woulnd’t mind giving video a get-go. It’s more tedious but the results can b very very satisfying.

  6. wow, tee too! speechless, you are really a talented in capturing moments! Love the video very film like feel! I have stop filming wedding for sometime now, feel ‘karat’ already.
