The OCC Wedding of the Year!

Yes!! The OCC Wedding of the Year happened yesterday and just now at the dinner.. It was a wedding of Gregory & Jaslyn.. so yupz..

I was actually one of the busier personnels, becos' I was in charge of filming their wedding (yesterday - 01 May 2010) at Saint Andrew's Cathedral & editing it just in time for the dinner just now at Peony Jade Restaurant, Keppel Club.

Let's just talk about yesterday (01 May) first.. the day started for me by waking up at 0430 hrs, and 0630 hrs, I started filming.. it went on till about 1400 hrs where I had a few stuff to much at the reception, and then rush home (missing church.. awww..) to edit the videos..
I started at 1530 hrs and actually I wanted to catch a few winks (because it was seriously very tiring and took a toll of me during the day), but then I think might as well finish it up, because I don't want to keep dragging it and never get it done.. however, to my surprise, I manage to just keep doing and doing and doing, until I realised that I have not had dinner.. and my dinner was actually at 2100 hrs.. kept going on till 2300 hrs where I was done..
(But thank God that I had earlier research some of the video concepts by professionals and it was put on YouTube, so I view and get ideas from there)..

Manage to get a good nite's rest and then this morning woke up and then did a lot of backup (starting at about 1100 hrs), and at the same time, did some finishing touches.. by the time I was done, it was 1600 hrs..

Bathe and then rush down to the restaurant to setup and test.. but to my horror, my MacBook somehow didn't manage to work properly (though it was tested just a few days ago and it was doing fine!).. but thank God for Carlise, that she has lent me her laptop and it worked.. thank God also for the multiple backups that I've done on DVD, CD and external harddisk!

And I did manage to play it during the dinner.. and believe you me.. whilst the video is playing, I was extremely nervous, becos I can't afford anything to go wrong during the playing of the video.. Both of Greg & Jas parents, relatives and friends (including church members) are present, and if anything goes wrong, that's it.. I will probably get the most blame.. and you do know me.. I'm a perfectionist.. I want everything to be as perfect as possible..
Therefore, when the video first played, there is a little bit of an error.. I panic, but then just close the player and start again, it was ok!

Fortunately, I receive a lot of good comments from church members and the couple (Greg & Jaslyn), that it was a job well done..
Well... all I can say is that it is not my work but God, because I was actually praying early yesterday morning that He would be with me during what to film and all.. and of course editing and all.. because really without Him, I would be at a loss and definitely can't finish such a job within 8 hrs.. It was indeed an eye-opener at how marvellous God works, even in such a simple video.. So ya.. To God be the Glory! =D

So yupz.. if you were not there at the dinner, don't fret, because I have recorded the highlights of the wedding nite ("sabos" lah of course), and they are as follows.. Enjoy!!





Well.. after this episode, I actually did enjoy the process of filming and editing.. though it is very tiring, but all I can say is that it is VERY, EXTREMELY satisfying when you see your "product" being shown and being affirmed for it! I guess this is what a perfectionist character in me wants.. affirmation and encouragement.. I guess that is what gives me the most satisfaction, because I see it with my own eyes something that is feasible and successful!

However, I guess I would only do this for really good/close friends if requested.. because I cannot be doing this as and when I want or on "freelance" job.. I will probably die of tiredness.. I'm old liaox.. no more the energetic me!

Oh well.. all I can say is that "IT IS FINISHED" and I can really go and sleep well, and dun need to worry anything.. woohoo~

It is finished,
