Yanina and Tony Wedding Hightlights from Moy Studios on Vimeo.

We were able to get them from start to finish so we got the full story on video as well as photo. It was an incredible day for everyone!  Their locations were great especially the Palm Event Center. Great setting, mood and a remote location.   The church was St. Michaels also in Pleasanton.  Preparation was all done at Tony’s huge place!  Please enjoy the video.  Please visit our photography wedding website for Tony and Yanina’s wedding photos.

So Calvin and I went out shooting this weekend to get a grip on some of our new equipment.   We were really just shooting stock footage, trying out custom settings on our cameras, and testing new equipment, techniques, etc.  Some how we ended up messing around cutting the video and I added some overly dramatic audio and a voice over.  Took some movie lines from a famous movie and bam.

So.. whats next?  We’re going to start shooting some themed movies.  They maybe anything, but probably short previews or event a film short.  I’ve got some other projects on this that Im working on in the San Francisco Bay Area for some groups that Im involved with.  We also have several engagement shoots coming up that might be themed. 

Can anyone figure out which movie the lines were from?

Keep posted.

Driving Around San Francisco with HeroCam HD on Mini Cooper S from Kenny Moy on Vimeo.

So Ive been wanting a sucktion cup mount for my DSLR for a while but wasnt quite comfortable putting my $3500+ setup onto a $100 sucktion cup mount.  Then I saw on StillMotion’s site that they were using these and attaching onto vehicles on weddings and such.  I saw the quality that came from there and was amazed.

They werent that expensive, $300 depending on which kit you want.  Seeing that these things are impact resistant and waterproof, I figured why not.  I can use it for my upcomming trip to Hawaii, get some crazy underwater pics and footage.  Plus the camera is only the size of a raisin box.  You know those Sunmaid little red raisin boxes.    Check out the video, I was driving to martial arts practice and back, came out pretty good for what it is.

Shorinji Kempo San Francisco from Kenny Moy on Vimeo.

I’ve been a Shorinji Kempo practitioner for nearly 6 years now, and has found it one of the most rewarding and fun experiences that I’ve done in my life.   One of the key principles in Shorinji Kempo is half for yourself and half for others.  So I’ve devote some time into help my Shorinji Kempo community.  Here is a short promotional film from our annual Cherry Blossom festival as well as some in class footage at martial arts practice.

The martial art itself contains a combination of punching, kicking, locks and throws.  We also focus on paired practice which allows us to learn how it is to contact bigger/smaller, shorter/taller individuals.  We also teach alot of discipline in the class so it fits well for kids.

The class is headed up by 7th Dan Sensei Yuji Harada, a man which I have the utmost respect as he has taught me much about martial arts, discipline, life and community.

Enjoy!

Linux Collaboration Summit 2010 from Kenny Moy on Vimeo.

The Linux Foundation hired me again this year to shoot their Collaboration Summit this year.  This year however I decided to add a video element in addition to photography.  Sometimes its hard to see exactly what goes down during events so a video is always nice to have!  Heres a short about what happened on the opening day.

Jessie and Pete Video Highlight from Kenny Moy on Vimeo.

This is the final highlight reel from Jessie and Pete’s wedding earlier this year.  We did their wedding videography and their wedding photography as well.

Jessie and Pete started with a traditional Chinese wedding with the groom and groomsmen haggling for the bride.  The bridesmaids like usual put them through some form of games to prove their worth!  The ceremony was held at the suites and was a very private event with only family.

We then moved to the palace of fine arts for some wedding photos with the wedding party and family.  We finished off with some portraits of the couple off in Crissy field.   We ended the night with a reception at Koi Palace in Daly City.  We were even able to squeeze this highlight reel and showed it at the reception!!

Their pictures from the day can be viewed here at our wedding photography site Moy Wedding Photography.
