Sasha & Marina by AXYONOV production

I found this video earlier today while searching through Vimeo, I thought I would post it here because it was very inspiring to me. Since I am actually editing a wedding video right now I am very jealous that none of the footage looks anything close to this.

If you are in the business of shooting wedding videos then this is the kind of footage you should be striving to capture.

If you are editing wedding videos and your footage doesnt look as good as this dont worry there is ways to make it look better. More on that in the coming weeks.

But for now check out this plugin Magic Bullet Looks Suite

Software I Use All The Time

Avid Media Composer - The foundation of any work-flow. From digitizing to editing to exporting to tape Media Composer is the industry leader in non linear editing.

Adobe After Effects - After Effects can do so many different things its hard to even begin to describe it. Compositing, Video effects, Colour grading and so much more. After Effects provides essential tools for any video work-flow.

Adobe Photoshop - Title cards, Retouching, Digital matte painting, Compositing photographs or creating graphic elements Photoshop has a wide range of uses and continues to gain user in an increasingly digital world.

Trapcode Particular - A very powerful plugin for After Effects that is very easy to use and can create good looking effects within a few minutes. I use this plugin on every project I do, whether it be adding interesting elements to titles, adding elements to a background or adding an animated wipe, Particular has become an essential part of any motion designers arsenal.

Adobe Bridge - Bridge has become an essential work-flow tool allowing creative people of all types to access their media easier and quicker then ever before. Bridge allows media of all types to be import into programs quicker than using a conventional window explorer and also allows you to preview footage or graphic elements easier than opening them in their native applications.

Maxon Cinema 4D - Cinema 4D is one of the easiest to use 3D programs on the market right now. Knowing After Effects I was able to jump into C4D and start creating (Something I wasn't able to do with any of the other 3D programs on the market) And with a newly updated and easier to use dynamics simulator C4d is a powerful tool for the advanced user or the new guy who wants to start learning 3D.
