One of the most overlooked wedding expenses I believe is the cinematic wedding video. Traditionally pictures have been the best way to capture the day and the easiest to share, but with video quality sky rising accompanied by smaller price tags, I’m surprised cinematic wedding videos haven’t become much more popular.
If I had the opportunity to travel more I would. Travelling opens the door to many elements of inspiration.
From the sights and sounds to the experience of getting lost or meeting strangers that become your friends, travelling is invaluable to any artist.
In this video you’ll get an idea of the kind of work we do for our wedding clients to make sure that their important moments are captured on video. You’ll notice in the video that we’ve filmed traditional weddings and modern festivities. Not looking for a wedding video? We also film other events like bar mitzvahs and quinceaneras with as much care and detail to get you the video experience you desire.
Filming a Texas Wedding with Cherry and John Menard… It’s been a pleasure getting to know Cherry. She’s one of the first people I met when I moved to Austin to attend business school and start Moth to Flame. We met on the set of a short production called “American Roulette” directed by Alex Murphy, which happens to be the first project I produced in Austin. Ever since, we have been working together on various projects, from commercials to short films, and finally my debut feature, Funemployment. I was also one of the lucky ones to be able to hang…
To be a filmmaker and an entrepreneur means you require a lot of support. Nobody can stay sane and do it alone. One of my dearest friends and former wifey/roommate, Suma Nagmote, is one of these special people to me. Without her, I would be depressed and nowhere close to where I am right now as a filmmaker or as a person. Suma is one of those people whose smile lights up the room. Among all my friends, she is the mom out of the bunch. I am always amazed by all the details she remembers about everyone’s lives because…
Moth to Flame Wedding Photography for our very own – Kellie Penna…. I cannot stress how important it is to keep great people on your team. Honestly, the key to any success I have is keeping people who are smarter and better than me, close by. One of these folks is definitely my associate producer, Kellie Penna. Kellie came to Moth to Flame as an intern, having minimal filming experience and a proactive, hardworking spirit that I admire. She has become an indispensable friend and team member. She keeps me sane and has helped me to organize and build Moth…
A little reflection on a recent Dallas wedding we shot for Lee and Vi… Weddings are a special time for all those involved. The day is filled with such a rush of emotions and activities that sometimes what people actually do remember are the highlights from the day. Here is a reflection on a recent Dallas wedding we shot.
Moth to Flame and Austin Phoenix went to 8 locations throughout Austin, per the suggestions of some entrepreneurs. We wanted to see where startups like to frequent. This is what we came up with!
The idea to reality of A Bird’s Nest has been a whirlwind. It took one short story, by Eric Hwang, written almost a decade ago and the right lead, Deke Garner, to spark the inspiration for this short film. The screenplay, adapted by Christine Chen, will be shot in Shreveport, Louisiana, May 28-30, 2014. More updates to come. Here is our first official poster designed by Alicia Marshall.
So this Sunday is the Oscars, now to most people it’s a time to look at celebrities on E! and talk about what they are wearing and who showed up with who. Not many though actually watch the entire telecast, I can count maybe a handful of people that I personally know that actually watch the Oscars. Each year I plan my day around watching the Oscars, I will cancel meetings, and reschedule things so I can be at home to watch. Now you may ask when did this start and why? Well simply put I love films, I…
