In this special episode of Our Creative Commune, we're swapping things around! Pete and Laura are hijacking the podcast with their co-founders of the British Wedding Film Festival, Joce Boissin and Jeff Wood, to dive deep into everything you need to know about this brand-new event for the wedding film industry.We start off sharing some stories from the end of the wedding season, including Jeff's travel nightmare of losing all his kit right before a huge destination wedding and how he was forced to adapt.Then, we get into the heart of the festival. We share the vision behind creating an awards ceremony dedicated solely to celebrating the incredible craft within our industry. We discuss why we felt it was so important to have categories that recognise specific skills like sound design, storytelling, and cinematography, and how we hope it will inspire a new wave of creativity.Thinking of entering? We cover all the crucial details: the surprisingly hefty trophies you could win, the incredible panel of judges (including a James Bond sound designer and a Netflix producer!), the submission process, and what makes a film stand out. Plus, we give you all the info on the awards night itself—a chance for us all to get glammed up, connect, and feel inspired at the Manchester Art Gallery.This is more than just an awards show; it's a celebration of our community and the art we create. Whether you're considering submitting a film or just want to join the party, this episode has all the inspiration and information you need.Timestamps00:00 - Intro & Welcome to the BWFF Team 00:55 - Catching Up: How Was the End of the Season? 01:03 - Jeff's Destination Wedding Nightmare: The Airline Lost All My Gear! 04:50 - The Creative Benefit of Being Forced to Adapt 08:31 - Joce's Adventure with an Anamorphic Lens in Morocco 11:23 - Introducing the British Wedding Film Festival 11:51 - The Reason We Started These Awards 13:10 - Celebrating Individual Skills 14:30 - Using the Awards as a Creative Motivator for the Season 16:17 - It’s Scary Entering Awards 17:45 - Let's Talk About the Trophies 18:21 - The Incredible Judging Panel 22:05 - How the Judging Process Will Work 23:20 - The Awards Night 24:25 - The Venue 25:04 - Submission Deadline: 1st December! 26:07 - The Categories & Submission Rules 28:14 - Best Cinematography & Best Sound Design 32:02 - Best Storytelling 32:31 - Best Cinematic Language: Using Match Cuts & Parallel Action 36:55 - Best Use of Music & Best Colour Grading 38:39 - Best Elopement: Telling a Story with Just Two People 39:36 - Film Length & Password Protection 44:41 - Jeff's Story: The OG of Cinematic Wedding Films 46:57 - Jeff's Thoughts on Shooting with Phones 52:39 - Joce's Story: From iPhone Clips to Full-Time Pro in 2 Years 58:46 - Highs & Lows of the WeekThe British Wedding Film Festivalhttps://www.britishweddingfilmfestival.com/ Pete & Lauralawsonfilms.co.ukJoce Boissinhttps://www.lunedemielstudio.com/Jeff Woodhttps://www.jeffwoodvisuals.com/ Hosted on Acast.
