Help us achieve ROCKSTAR-status

by Ryan on July 2, 2010

Who doesn’t want to be famous? Okay – maybe it’s a little far fetched… but for the past two years we’ve been named Best Videographer by WDIV’s 4 The Best. We’ve heard that if you win three years in a row (back to back to back), that you automatically receive ROCKSTAR-status and a high-five from our mailman.

It only takes like 37′ish seconds to vote. Please do it… and only ONCE. We’re in it to win it – but not by cheating. So tell all your friends, family members, even people you don’t talk to. We love you for it.

Forever yours,
The Epic Motion Crew
XOXO

Style Me Pretty Inspiration to Reality has created quite a buzz recently – and we’re honored to have been a part of another team of rad-tastic wedding professionals who created a GORGEOUS ITR for Style Me Pretty. Here’s a direct link to the Style Me Pretty blog

The Epic Motion approach to the Inspiration to Reality shoot:

One of the first things we did when we showed up on set for the shoot was meet the models. We quickly found out that Caleb and Laura were good friends of Jess and Nate (the photogs) and that they’ve been married for six years… within the first few minutes we were laughing together and really connecting with them. We also learned that they didn’t love their wedding photos from years ago and they didn’t have a wedding film (shame-shame). They jokingly said they were going to replace what memories they did have from their wedding with the ones that would be made that day.

My thought: let’s really create something awesome for them that they’ll adore and that will be a reminder of their love for each other as well as something that shows off how stinkin’ good looking they are (the latter part was SUPER easy to do). Of course, in the process the hope was to capture all the amazing details from the A-list of vendors that were hand picked for this shoot.

We chose not to use any natural audio as well as decided to forego much of the “behind-the-scenes” stuff for the piece and create a fun little music driven film. Ultimately my thought was that this could become a small treasure for Caleb and Laura and their family.

Here’s a list of the people and companies that were involved with the shoot:

Event Design and Styling by Lucia|Paul Design
Stationery and Sweets Table by Dooby Design Group
Floral by Bellasario Florist
Linens provided by Gala Linen
Photography by Jessica Johnston Photography
Film by Epic Motion
Bridal Gowns, Hair Accessories, Jewelry provided by Katerina Bocci
Lighting by The Lighting Guy
Draping, Chandelier and Rentals provided by Colonial Party and Event Rental

Venue – Lovett Hall at The Henry Ford – http://www.thehenryford.org/privateevents/venues_lovetthall.aspx
Hair and Makeup by Figo Salon
Jewelry by Stones ‘n Sterling
Decorative shapes provided by Sugar Paper

PS. We also created a version without the text list of vendors for Caleb and Laura – who knows – they may actually tell people that this is from their wedding day… so DON’T tell ANYONE :)
