The proposal. Colin and Sarina are some of our favorite people and Friday nights we all get to serve at church for MyCity Youth. Colin serves at the North campus and Sarina serves down at Central campus, so they don't see each other on the night. This Friday it was a little different.
Throughout the week, we had been working with Colin on what we could do to make a surprise visit down to central during MyCity. We added a "special item" on the run sheet for the night that only a few people were aware of and that is when we would play a video and Colin would appear on stage.
Early on Friday we had initially planned to play a slideshow of some sort with the song from Safetysuit called Never Stop. We then came up with the idea of recording him and prepping to come out onto the stage for the surprise.
Here is the quick storyboard we put together:
We arrived early at church around 4pm and gathered footage as quickly as we could and put together a quick video to show in front of everyone. After the video was done and ready, all we could do was sit back and wait till our special item was ready to be played.
Here is the recap:

What a phenomenal wedding we had with Ivan and Kristin a few weeks ago at Mt. Woodson Castle. The wedding highlights film is all complete and ready for your viewing pleasure. We love capturing the wedding videography for amazing couples in amazing locations. Check out the video here:
Mt. Woodson Castle is an absolutely beautiful venue and Ivan and Kristin were phenomenal. Everything was put together beautifully and we were blessed to be able to capture the video for their day.
We loved putting this highlight reel together. Everything flowed great and we believe that it turned out very well.
When we create wedding videos, we love the final product. We love the ability to tell the story of the wedding. We love that we are able to hear the speeches from the day and we love to see the movement.
Photography and videography are two different types of arts, but we love the ability to tell the story from both points of view.
Here are the amazing vendors that we were able to work with during this wedding:

Want a little teaser from the first look over the weekend? https://vimeo.com/143329642
What a tease! I even teased myself. Did he start crying?
We started working on the video that we captured over the weekend and we are excited to share the whole thing when it is all complete! It is going to be epic. We should have the whole highlight reel ready soon.
We are going to drop this little teaser on facebook and Instagram for all the Fam to wet their appetite.
The Revolution Tour is out in San Diego. The group is from New Zealand and they spread the word of HOPE around different schools and this is their first time in San Diego... basically their first time in the United States. They have been going around New Zealand and other areas for some time sharing their word. They teach against bullying in schools and their fresh word was brought out to the city of San Diego. We were able to follow them around and see their impact in the schools and with the different students.
Tonight will conclude their tour through San Diego with a Night Rally at C3 San Diego. We put together a quick recap for the tour that went through San Diego schools to show how much fun and how much of an impact it made for people.

At the end, you can see how many people would like to make a stand. We look forward to seeing what tonight has in store for the Night Rally concert.
San Diego Wedding Videography: Be Still Photog | Ernie Padaon | Fiona Padaon Over the weekend we filmed a wedding at the Thursday Club at Sunset Cliffs for Edgar and Holly. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we will have their highlight video to share on here very soon. For a lot of our weddings and shoots we like to have one goal when we walk up to the job. For this wedding, we wanted to be able to put out a little sneak into the wedding video for all of the people in the wedding to see.
We weren't looking for a "same day edit" that had audio and all. It was more of a slideshow of videos for the day. We do the same thing for our photography work and wanted to be able to incorporate it in for our videography. We know that the impact and the power that it has for the clients and for marketing our own work.
We knew that the wedding would be a little rough since we didn't have a lot of time to put it all together. We dropped it all in during dinner and shared it on an ipad for everyone to see at the dessert table.
IT WAS A SUCCESS. The maid of honor asked how we were able to get that done so quickly. The bride LOVED it and couldn't believe that she was watching her own wedding, while she was still at the wedding.
We are going to continue this madness and eventually jump into the world of a SAME DAY EDIT.
San Diego Videography: Be Still Photog | Ernie Padaon | Fiona Padaon Our church youth group is doing a new series that is called Be Different. It is a series that is calling the youth to stand out and to stand up. Instead of walking with the world and doing everything that other high school youth are doing, we want them to be different. We want the youth to go into schools on their first day of school and BE DIFFERENT.
Here is the video that we used to preview the series.
https://vimeo.com/136662786
Schools will be opening up in the next week. They will be going back and dealing with the pressures of high school. The pressures of fitting in. The pressures of doing all the things that high school youth do.
Instead of doing what the youth and the world does, they should lean on the word of God.
The voice-over is a poem that was written and read by Destiny Macias. She is a phenomenal talent and we look forward to the amazing things that she does.
We loved creating this video with the 3 students and can't wait to see the movement that will take place with the youth in San Diego.
Be a world changer. Be the chosen one. Be the light on the hill. BE DIFFERENT!

San Diego videography - We created a motivational video for our youth conference and put together this piece.
We created a motivational video for our Empower Youth conference that we took part of over the weekend. The video contains a speech that was cut up from Denzel Washington during a commencement at Penn.
I guess we would title the speech "Fall Forward". There are a few different cutup versions of this speech around the internet, but we decided to create our own for the conference.
We added the track Heart of Courage from Two Steps from Hell to the background to bring a bit more drama into the video and we just needed to collect some footage on the first day of the conference and get it all prepped for the 2nd day.We got those portions of the video set first. All the audio was created first, then we just place captured clips on the video.
I feel like I want to create more pieces like this in the future. It is awesome to share a great message to help motivate some people.The conference was amazing and we had a blast creating and capturing for it.
We look forward to doing more editing and San Diego videography in the future.

https://vimeo.com/133355603 Why should people invest in getting a wedding videographer? What can they provide that a photographer cannot bring to the table?
Why should brides get a wedding cinematographer/videographer? There is something that movement and sound can capture that still images cannot capture. This post is not to diminish the need for photographers. We do both at Be Still and we believe that people should have both during their biggest day.
There is greatness in both stills and cinema, but we are writing this post to convince you on the video portion. The idea of seeing that first dance come to life again is incredible. You can see the look in each other's eyes and also can see the mood in the room.
The biggest benefit is getting the audio from the day. The audio from the speeches and the vows placed onto a movie type documentary will make tears come down your eyes. Those words will be preserved forever.
Trust in a professional. Trust in someone that has been to weddings and understands the height of the occasion. Look over their previous work and see if you like their style. That is what your final product will look like.
The wedding videographer that you bring on will be looking for all the details that your Uncle Bob would not be looking for. The wedding videographer will capture scenes in a way that your Uncle Bob would not be looking for and your wedding videographer will put it together in a final product that will take your breath away. Trust in a pro.

Be Still Photography is starting to get into the world of videography. Many people told us that we would be getting into that world soon and we are making the steps in that direction. It has moved quickly and this was the first wedding that we had the opportunity to film. The wedding took place in Balboa Park in San Diego and was a short reception, but we were able to capture the amazing moments of the day.
You can see the love that the two of them had for each other and for their family. Family has been a big priority for them and everyone had a great time out there.
The venue is absolutely gorgeous in Balboa Park in San Diego. The architecture is amazing and The Prado is an amazing location for a wedding.
This was a same day edit of the event. We will also be creating a longer documentary of the wedding, but wanted the couple to have something in front of their eyes on the same day. We already love the ability to tell a story with video and look forward to many more opportunities to do this.
