We managed to capture this gorgeous footage and at the same time edited into a lovely featured short film by 8pm the same evening. From their North York condominium, to Thornhill parents’ home, down to the frosh week campus in University of Toronto, and back to the Toscana banquet hall in Hilton, Vaughan, everything ran just smoothly and we enjoyed this entire working process ourselves too.
The so-called “door-games” are an essential part of the traditional Chinese wedding, during which the groom typically needs to complete a series of fun tasks before he can finally meet the bride. It was just fun to see Vivian watch her husband-to-be over the high tech webcam, thanks to Microsoft for the amazing Kinect setup. The smiles on her face were nothing but sweet.
The banquet hall at Toscana Banquet and Conference Centre is perfectly designed (maybe not intentionally) that the sunlight comes right in when the doors were opened for their grand entrance, created that dream effect that usually requires high intensity lighting in movie productions.
Enjoy the video, and congratulations to the lovely couple.
