iLive Film Everywhere I Go


No, it's not a typo in the title—"iLive" film everywhere I go has to do with me listening to my iPod and thinking of film ideas. Film is so much a part of who I am that I often tend to see life around me as if I were filming it. When I lived in Iowa from 2008-2010, I enjoyed watching to music on the car stereo the green scenery with the rolling hills and plains of corn that stretched seemingly forever.

Most filmmakers prefer to shoot outdoor scenes one hour before sunset, which is when the sunlight is the warmest color. I often am excited when I get to be outside during this time which filmmakers often call "magic hour." To me, there is something seemingly magical about it. The colors are gorgeous, and they really bring out cinematic value in movies.

For weddings, I think that shooting during magic hour makes the best engagment photos and videos. It also is a perfect time to get outdoor shots before the reception begins depending on the time of the year. Natural sunlight is an excellent form of lighting, and best of all, there's no setup and it's mostly wherever you need it.
