Cinematography spotlight: Goodwin Films



This just brings a smile to my face. Megan and Nate ran away and got married. Something about the super 8 film really brings the emotion and lovely images to the forefront.
Great talent over at Goodwin Films. Only 24 and I think he has this stuff down.

About themselves:
Goodwin Films is a video and film production outfit based in Springfield Missouri. We specialize in tasteful wedding documentaries that we call "Wedding Movies". In addition to an occasional short film or music video, we're also up to our knees in commercial freelance work. We've been doing this full time for about 3 years now and it's quite possible that you've known us as "Citizen Media Group" (our ex-name).
Favorite moments of ours:


Visit Goodwin Films here and they have many more sample films you can view, including a great" Trash The Dress Session", all great.

Old Timey Films - It's a feeling, a sense of nostalgia, an emotional memory of a wonderful time gone by, kind of like watching your parents or grandparents wedding films.

Our retro cool wedding films have a classic 1960's era look and feel. They are magical. It's something to be experienced, something no medium other than film can capture. We use traditional cinematic techniques and the highest-quality, professional Super 8 motion picture cameras (Canon, Nizo and Beaulieu) to capture the true wonder of the most special day of your life!


Here are some favorite moments clipped from the video.

Spotlight on Super 8: paper Tape Films

Merry Christmas Day!

It's a day for happiness, creating and capturing memories!

Last week we were falling all over ourselves in love with Fifty Foot Films. A wonderful company that provides amazing wedding day cinematography in a super 8 format. Their packages according to their website start at 12,500. Now, not everyone can get this in their wedding budget,(my pie chart over runnuth
over). If you For such cases as this they are wonderful by recommending Paper Tape Films, a subsidiary company, whose packages start at a more realistic $3,000. Nice!

Paper Tape Films


I just watched the San Francisco Wedding and it brought me back to my days growing up there with shots of cable cards and the Golden Gate. Memories, they are a good thing.

Some clips



Go here on their website to see some more beautifull films they have created!

Check back throughout today as we feature other great wedding cinematography in this old style format!

Make memories, capture memories & have a very happy day!
