The most stunning opening number we’ve seen by far! Yes, we were commissioned to do a very special AVP that was shown during their introduction at the reception party. They already have a main photographer, Paul and Ayvih (Paul Vincent Photograhpy) and we were only tagged to do their onsite slideshow. I must say the most challenged onsite we’ve made by far. It was such a big production, close coordination with Clarice (An Event to Remember) and Elmer Bautista (Rejekt Crew).
Our bride, Rea, had prepared a storyboard for their slideshow wherein photos will appear timely and come the song’s high note — 3rd chorus, the couple would then make their way to the dance floor highlighting their first dance. The hard part for me was (1) getting good shots that will blend with the music; (2) picking the photos timely; and (3) that it should be shown at exactly 6:30 PM start of reception. During the slow 3rd chorus, “I wonder what God was thinking, when he created you…” the couple enters slowly black screen (approx 22 seconds) with a billboard “Let us welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick and Rea Anne Koa” and by the time of the high note, “He must have heard every prayer I’ve been…” spotlights were turned ON and they started the first dance. Honestly, all the guests and even us suppliers were blown away by their first dance! Na-surprise mo kami Rea and Ken hehehe!
Here is the video. We have included the couples first dance at the last part as provided by Bim and Gen (Phoeben Teocson Videography) for everyone to see the effect. It was a one-of-a-kind opening number. Galing!
