Choate House

Julie Meets @CHOATEHOUSE: A Mini Screenplay (Thanks everyone for indulging my screenplay format, which I reserve for very special reviews that are in keeping with all things filmic)INTRO -VOICE OVER / BAD WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY MONTAGE:As I've mentioned, I majored in film. As such, I tend to be pretty repulsed by most wedding videos. All I can see is shaky tripod, superbad zooming, poorly considered lighting, weird jump cuts (we were just at the ceremony, now were dancing, I don't understand). Most of it is just so bad. FLASHBACK: Younger, more cynical JULIE rolls eyes and yawns watching an acquaintance's wedding video. I've never even thought I would want to have a wedding video done, because I dislike them so. (CUE MOURNFUL FIDDLE) Which is sad, because I think these recorded memories are the best gift you can give yourself, the best gift you can give your kids, and their kids. A film person who would choose not to document the most important day of my life. Sad. FADE IN: INT PHOTO ART STUDIOS - NIGHT Enter KARA AND JEREMY the lovely couple behind Choate House last night, and I am bowled over. They met in film school, fell in love, and now have a video production business here in OKC, with a specialty in understated, thoughtful wedding filmography built to reflect the unique personalities of their subjects. Of course the most photogenic couple in OKC is behind the camera, making other people look beautiful - Classic OKC! EPILOGUE: Well, I'm sold. I'll be saving my pennies, because this work is so beautiful, so memorable, I simply have to have them document pieces of my life.
