Since winning several awards for Asian Wedding Videography we have moved into creating films across multiple genres and fields, however we still look to innovate in the Asian wedding market.



When it comes to capturing your special day, you want to make sure your wedding film reflects your unique style and love story. Here are some ideas on how you can personalise your Asian wedding film to make it truly one-of-a-kind:

Choose a cinematographer who understands and appreciates your culture: Look for a cinematographer who has experience filming Asian weddings and understands the cultural significance of the ceremonies and traditions. This will ensure that they are able to accurately capture the essence of your special day.

Incorporate cultural elements: Whether it's a traditional tea ceremony or a colourful sari, be sure to include cultural elements that are meaningful to you and your partner in your wedding film. This will give the film a personal touch and help to tell your unique love story.

Include personal touches: Think about what makes your relationship special and unique, and find ways to incorporate these personal touches into the film. This could be anything from your favourite hobbies or activities, to the song that played during your first dance.

Tell your love story: Your wedding film is the perfect opportunity to tell the story of your relationship, from how you met to the moment you said "I do." Consider including interviews with friends and family, or creating a montage of photos and videos that highlight the milestones in your relationship.

Choose the right music and soundtrack: Music and audio from your day can set the tone and mood of your wedding film, so be sure to choose tracks that reflect your style and personalities. This could be a mix of traditional Asian music, or a playlist of your favourite songs.
By following these tips, you can create a wedding film that is truly unique and reflects your personal style and love story. With a little creativity and planning, you can have a film that you will treasure for years to come.

As a wedding videographer, it's important to stand out from the crowd and create unique and memorable wedding films for your clients. In today's digital age, couples have access to a wide range of wedding videography options, so it's up to you to find ways to make your films stand out from the rest.

One way to make your wedding films different is to focus on storytelling. Instead of just capturing the typical wedding day events, try to weave a narrative throughout the film that tells the couple's unique love story. This can be done through interviews with the couple, their family, and friends, as well as through the use of captions and graphics to help tell the story.

Another way to make your wedding films unique is to experiment with different filming styles and techniques. For example, you could try using a drone to capture aerial footage of the ceremony and reception, or use a gimbal to create smooth and stable shots. You could also experiment with different editing techniques, such as using slow motion or time-lapse footage to add visual interest to the film.

Incorporating personal touches into the wedding film is also a great way to make it unique. For example, you could include footage of the couple's favorite hobbies or activities, or use their favorite music as the soundtrack for the film. You could also incorporate elements of the couple's cultural heritage or personal style into the film, such as incorporating traditional music or clothing.

Another idea is to use interactive elements in the wedding film. For example, you could create a "choose your own adventure" style film where the viewer can choose which scenes to watch next. This could be done through the use of branching narratives or by incorporating interactive elements, such as polls or quizzes. This can add an element of fun and engagement to the film, and make it more memorable for the couple and their guests.

In addition to these ideas, it's also important to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technology in wedding videography. This can help you stay ahead of the competition and offer your clients the most innovative and unique wedding films possible. For example, you could experiment with virtual reality or 360-degree video to create an immersive viewing experience for the couple and their guests.

Overall, there are many ways to make your wedding films different from others. By focusing on storytelling, experimenting with different filming styles and techniques, incorporating personal touches, and staying up-to-date with the latest trends, you can create unique and memorable wedding films that will impress your clients and set you apart from other wedding videographers.

This will help them learn about the story of Christmas and it will also help them become more excited about the show. You should also make sure that your children are prepared for the show.

It is important to prepare for the show by coming up with an organization plan. This plan should include everything from the story line to the costumes, songs and props.

School and Dance show filming has been sold by the copy to parents by DVD for years, many due to the fact of low cost and it being a physical product people can receive. Another popular reason for DVDs is the fantastic cover designs.



As an industry we have been trying to move away from the DVD for years, offering digital downloads and more expensive (but much higher quality) USB stick.

Is a USB Stick The Answer?

Typically a show will require either a 16gb or 32gb USB stick. An amazon search will show prices starting from £6 a stick, however the cost can come down to under £4 when bought in bulk. USB sticks hold a HD or 4K copy of the show depending on how it was filmed and the size/cost of the USB. This increased cost is prohibitive for some when compared with the low cost of a DVD.

USB sticks do give the customer a physical product, however the cost of presenting a USB is also higher than a DVD case with cover. Just do a search for USB tins etc and you will see prices of anything up to £40. Finding the perfect solution for presenting USBs is not easy.

Our Current USB Solution

We have found branded USBs such as SanDisk work reliably and are the most compatible. We present these USBs in tins with a custom printed label placed on the tin.

We also offer a USB and DVD Combination

You may wonder why this could even be a solution. The cheapest packaging for USBS and also a way of packaging a USB is a DVD case with a USB slot built within it. The DVD is or relatively low cost (apart from time producing) and this combination enables easy storage for customers and a way of displaying tradition cover designs.



Is Download an Option Yet?

We have tried out many solutions of providing downloads. The benefits for us is that it is low cost and we can deliver the final show in the highest quality and compatibility possible. We can offer multiple-resolution options on one link to make it compatible with all devices.

There are however several issues with downloads. The number one for us is preventing sharing, it is not easy to prevent sharing of a link or the actual file itself.

Our Download Solution

We are happy to provide unlimited downloads if the school/ dance company agree to pay a agreed fee for filming and editing the production. We then provide a link for you to share amongst whomever you wish.



A Product and Download Option

We also currently offer a free download with every DVD purchase (minimum order applies). This means you get a QR code on your DVD for you to download a high resolution copy.



THE FUTURE. - Streaming instead of Download

The download issue is the main reason "Hollywood" don't do it, they all offer streaming services and options (even when they call it purchase it remains on their platform and their property). This is probably the way forward and is already being offered by services such as Young Voices, you pay a fee and can login to a website to watch your show.

We are currently exploring an option of streaming via our website, then after 6 months you receive a download link.

We Also still offer DVDs and Live Streaming options.

Live-streaming has always been a beneficial idea for a wedding ceremony and reception–but in the last two years, due to the global epidemic, these live broadcasts have become more popular than ever in the wedding industry!
 
Whether your loved ones are living abroad or you're getting married intimately, live-streaming your wedding ceremony is still an excellent opportunity to make sure no one misses your wedding.
 
From the reasons to live-stream your wedding ceremony to the best live-streaming platforms, read on to know everything about live-streaming your wedding!
 

What are the reasons for live-streaming your wedding ceremony?

 
1. Live-stream your wedding for people whose schedules don't match:
        
Chances are your guest can cancel attending your wedding at the last minute because of conflicting schedules or other issues due to which their schedule just doesn't line up with your wedding date. You can still give them a chance to be a part of your big day by live-streaming your ceremony!
          
Many live-streaming platforms like Twitch let your guest watch your nuptial from virtually anywhere. Your virtual guests will love feeling like they're celebrating your union right alongside you, even if they're celebrating from afar.
 
2. Do it for a unique video of the wedding ceremony:
 
You may have booked a wedding photographer and a videographer who documents some of the most amazing moments of the day. But if you want to have an entire video of your wedding ceremony right on your phone, then it's a good idea to live-stream your wedding. 
 
Many live-streaming apps can automatically save broadcasts of your wedding. So, this is a big difference. Seeing your whole wedding day, again and again, is only possible when you live-stream your wedding.
 
3. Amazing keepsake for you & your loved ones:
 
It's a fact that parents get very emotional when their children get married. In the future, when they will see the whole wedding video or picture, it will be no less than a blessing for them to see again how it all went. Even everyone who is most close to you will also enjoy watching your entire wedding day video.
 
As mentioned above, live-streaming your wedding is a great idea to get a video of the whole wedding day. In modern times, this is truly the best and cheapest way to capture it all without missing a single moment. Thanks to the live-stream apps that provide us the opportunity to save a beautiful keepsake forever!
 
4. Affordable video options for the wedding ceremony:
 
A clear reason to choose a live stream for your wedding ceremony is that live-streaming is indeed the cheapest way to watch the wedding video without breaking the bank. Many couples plan their wedding on a tight budget and can't afford a professional videographer to document their day. 
 
Live-streaming is the most affordable video option for such couples to take in all the big day's enjoyable activities and beautiful moments. Today's technology has introduced high-quality mobile phone cameras that rival expensive cameras. With the help of these cameras, budget-conscious couples can still capture their wedding ceremony.

Expanding Areas of School Show Filming



Late November to mid December has become the time of Christmas show filming for us at 20 Media. It all started with a few schools looking for a better standard of production, after being let down by amateurs who were at the time dominating the market.

We wanted to bring the same broadcast level of production over to the school show level. Schools now invest. Heavily in the level of production of their shows, have great theatre spaces and sound systems and spend months planning and practicing the perfect show. This has made it allot easier and more important in capturing this on film in the best way possible.

We use multiple cameras, microphones and our expert knowledge of shows to create a production that you can be proud of.

Great Feedback - Ready and expanding for the 2021 Christmas school shows

Schools have gone from a side focus to a main area of our yearly productions. This is why we have expanded our expert team for this season and are now covering shows all over the South of England, Surrey, Sussex, London and Kent.

Restrictions and Options for 2021 School Shows

We understand that 2021 school shows will be under different restrictions depending on the current Covid pandemic. Throughout we have been flexible in filming times and have understood the need for longer filming slots and patience in filming and editing the productions. No matter the way you have decided to produce your show we can be flexible in production.
