Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a couple of months. Been crazy busy! But that's a good thing right? This past weekend was me and my wife's 1st year anniversary of our marriage! Last year on May 10th, we tied the knot and have been happy ever since! To celebrate our little occasion, we spent the weekend in the Carmel/Monterey area. We had an awesome time! The weather was perfect at mid 60s and no fog! I know this is a wedding cinematography blog, but here are a few shots from the weekend.For my photog friends, these were shot on a Canon Digital Elph SD1100 and edited in Lightroom 2 (my new love!) Nothing fancy, but they turned out great! Enjoy and leave some love!
Em Le's....the BEST french toast in the WORLD! True story.

More than just cinematography
February 19, 2009 | Filed Under Infinite Design | Leave a Comment
When I'm not shooting, I'm editing. If I'm not editing, I'm designing. If I'm not designing, I'm either eating, sleeping or with my wife. I'll choose the later of the three : ) But anyways, a friend of my wife came to me and asked if I could design her business cards. "Of course!" I said. I love designing business cards. They're so simple but they can have such an impact. I just really love the way these cards came out. The colors go awesome together and it's so simple. I thought I would share. Take a look below!
Don’t worry, I’m not dead.

Its been awhile since I've updated the blog. I have some awesome projects coming up that I can wait to share! One of them is a Engagement Session with an awesome couple, Paul and Jenny. They're wedding is in June and I can't wait for that either! We're going to be shooting down in Fresno on the 21st, hopefully weather will cooperate with us so we can get some awesome shots.So I thought I post an old clip from when I started doing videography/motion graphics. Every year, me and a group of friends would get together and go on a trip somewhere. In 2006 we went to Don Pedro Lake and rented an house boat for a week. Good times! I always brought my camera along on the trips so I could make a cool video when I got back home. Each video had a unique intro. In 2006 I wanted to do a Star Wars intro, and it turned out pretty great! But CAUTION!!!! This is no where near the quality that I do now. I still can't believe this was only 3 years ago! The clip below is only the intro and my favorite part. My friends are gonna kill me when they find out this is online...........enjoy!
Videography & Cinematography….What’s the Difference?
January 7, 2009 | Filed Under Infinite Design | Leave a Comment
The line between videography and cinematography is getting blurred more and more with new technology and cheaper cameras. But what really is the difference between videography and cinematography? A straight forward definition would be videography is capturing moving pictures digitally and cinematography is capturing moving pictures on film. But that's not the case anymore, especially in the 21st century. Feature length movies are being shot on all digital movie cameras, going from the camera straight to the computer, with no need to develop film (or telecine as it's called). So how can you tell the difference between videography and cinematography? There are 3 aspects to cinematography that separates it from videography; Lighting, camera movement and color..::Lighting::.
This is probably the biggest aspect to cinematography. Light is so crucial to telling a story and invoking emotion. Without special consideration to lighting, pictures would be flat and boring. Lighting is also one of the most difficult aspects to control. What light you see with your eye, may not be the light the camera sees. You have to be able to "see the light". Being aware of your surroundings and where the light is coming from separates the cinematographer from the videographer.
.::Camera Movement::.
The right movement at the right time can help carry the story to the audience. Also no movement at the right time can speak volumes. The camera doesn't always have to be in motion, but the camera shouldn't always be still. This does not including zooming in or out. This is usually look down upon in cinematography. When you zoom in, it takes away the depth of the 3 dimensional world. It makes things flat. But if the cinematographer walks closer to the subject he is capturing, all of sudden there is depth and emotion. But take note, here are rules to cinematography, but those rules are meant to broken, only if broken correctly. A cinematographer knows when to stick to rules and when break them.
.::Color::.
Probably not one of the most noticeable elements of cinematography, but definitely not the least. Color, along with the right lighting, can really seal the scene and create the right kind of emotion the cinematographer was trying to capture. If you ever look at footage from right out of a 35mm movie camera, everything is dull and not very sharp. The reason? It allows for further enhancement of the footage once it has been captured in the computer. Each shot’s color is enhanced or corrected and usually the contrast is boosted. It’s the same for today’s digital cinematography. Footage is still stunning, but the dullness allows for the further enhancement just like the big 35mm movie cameras. Color used correctly can really make the footage “pop”.
These are just some of the techniques cinematographers use to create their films. And Infinite Design uses these three, and many more, techniques to make your wedding day feel like it was on the big screen. We determine to differentiate ourselves from everybody else by doing something unique. These aren’t your everyday, average wedding videos, but they are wedding films.

Things look a little bit different huh? Well, after talking with my wife and some professionals, I decided to drop the name Infinite Weddings and go with my main company name Infinite Design. I'm doing this so I can focus mainlny on wedding videography. So I'm going to be taking down my commercial design site and leave up my blog and wedding video site. Also this way there will be less confusion with just one name. Infinite Design: Wedding Videography.Anyways.....my schedule is open..........so BOOK ME!
Something different

If you've been to my website (it's www.infinite-design.net if you don't know ;) ) you'll notice that one of the products that I offer is a custom designed DVD case. You won't find many videographers offer this product, I haven't found one yet! I can either use the photos from your photog or I can use my own that my lovely assistant takes, who happens to by my wife, Audreyann. This product really puts the finishing touch on the whole video package and makes your video stand out of the crowd! Here's and example that I'm using for my own video:

So I updated the website (www.infinite-design.net) it now has 3 sections, Infinite Design, this blog and now the wedding videography section, Infinite Weddings. I had some trouble though with the intro page. For some reason it wasn't working, so until I figure it out, I made a temporary page that looks........like crap. LOL! So bare with me here until I figure this thing out.Ugghh..........I hate web design!
