Weddings, celebrations, festivals and trade shows, covered while they happen. A day like this runs once. The entrance happens once, the speech happens once, and neither of them waits for a camera to reach its position.
So the whole job is coverage: what is happening at the same time as something else, and where a camera is standing when it does. We film weddings and events anywhere in Morocco, and the cameras, lighting, stabilisation and drones come with us through Heero Cam.
01. The running order, and who is where
Before anything is booked we go through the day with you hour by hour: where it starts, when the light in the room changes, and the moments the film cannot do without - the entrance, the ceremony, the speeches, the first dance.
Then we mark the overlaps, the two things that land in the same ten minutes, and set the positions against them: where a camera stands for the arrival without ending up in the aisle during the ceremony. For a festival or a trade show the same order is built from the stage times and the people you want on camera.
02. The day itself
We film the day as it moves, and we do not stage it again for the camera. We do not ask anyone to come back through the door for a better version of their entrance, and the room carries on without a crew steering it.
The vows, the speeches and the stage talks get their own sound, recorded away from the camera, because a hall is loud and a microphone sitting on a camera hears the room more than the person speaking. And when two things overlap, we hold the positions we agreed rather than swinging between them.
03. The cut
You get a short film of the day first, at the length people rewatch and send on to someone else. It follows the order the day happened in, because that is the only order it ever had.
A longer cut follows for the parts you want whole: the ceremony, the speeches, what was said on stage. If something has to go out while the event is still running, say so while we are setting the running order, so it is built into the day instead of being asked for afterwards.
What you get
A running order agreed with you: hour by hour, and which position covers which moment.
A short film of the day, and a longer cut that keeps the ceremony and the speeches whole.
Sound for the vows, the speeches and the stage talks, recorded away from the camera.
Work in Arabic, French and English - useful in a room where the families and the guests do not share one language.
