Denver Colorado - Reuben & Sarah's Wedding (6/30-7/4/18)


A little video I threw together about our trip to Denver Colorado for Sarah & Reuben's wedding. I didn't take nearly enough video but still had just enough to make this.

Wedding Video is formulaic, and that's okay

Image
A good friend of mine has recently started his own production company and one thing he’s been doing a lot recently is weddings. He was even able to video my girlfriend’s brother’s wedding this year. As I was watching the video with the family yesterday, I realized just how formulaic these sorts of videos are. I’ve watched several made by my friend (as he’s wanted my input in the past) as well as other friend’s videos. They all start the same way, with light, soft romantic music covering the prep and anticipation of the wedding. The emotions come to a climax at the close of the ceremony and then the second half of the video documents the celebration and cathartic release of stress by everyone involved with the wedding. While it makes logical sense to divide the video into these two sections (it not only tells a good story, it follows the chronological progression of the event itself) it can sort of seem, cookie cutter approach to documenting this event. These videos are great and touch...

PA Payday Loan Cap/How Bad are They Really?

(Background info. I'm in an MBA program and part of it is bi-weekly forum posts. This week was interesting enough/long enough to merit more attention than unread forum for 11 people. I'm not an expert but these were my thoughts while researching the topic of payday loans for a class.) I’m an avid listener to NPR and interestingly enough, yesterday there was a small bit on payday loans (as well as a couple weeks ago a more in-depth segment). They talked about how the problem with payday loans isn’t when they’re used once, but when they’re used repeatedly. Having to pay the fees for the first loan makes the second paycheck not go as far as it should, needing a second loan. It’s just a terrible cycle that adds up to a HUGE interest rate. The second more in-depth segment discussed a study of payday loans and found that when people were given more information about the exact details and ramifications of these loans they were less likely to take them out. It showed that a lot of peop...

A Novice Photographer’s Expanding Understanding of Photography

(I wrote this in January 2017 but I still felt like it was worth of posting here as I had come across it while going through a google drive account ) In the past I had always associated “photography” as the person that stands behind the camera taking family portraits, that were boring, lifeless and generally annoying to wrangle that many people into a confined space. And that’s what stuck in my mind whenever I thought of photography. I disliked this type of picture taking that even when I had a “nice” DSLR I would leave it at home so that these photographs weren’t expected of me. It wasn’t until recently that I began to form a more robust view of photography. As a film student at a small college, I learned a lot about framing and composition, the importance of lighting and all of these other aspects of film, but it never made the leap to photography until this summer, when I got the chance to go take pictures and video in Nicaragua. I had always considered myself a videographer and ...
