Think Giant.

We were excited to receive 2 more Creative Excellence awards from UPVA last week. The competition was great this year. So many awesome videos were submitted. We were proud to come home with 2nd place in the Date Video Production Category for Tiffany & John’s fun Liberty Park Date Film. and 3rd place in the Event Video Category for Brighton High School Girls Soccer Highlight DVD. We are so grateful to have such awesome clients that allow us to put together such entertaining productions. 

We are also so glad to be part of UPVA, We have so many helpful and dedicated members this year, and it really is amazing to get together with them each month and all learn from each other.

I was just nominated and elected as the UPVA President-Elect, which is similar to a Vice President role, but also implies that next year I will be President.  UPVA, or Utah Professional Videographers Association, is a great organization for videographers of all kinds.  Many members do mainly wedding videography, but most also offer other services to individual and corporate clients.  It’s a great group to be a part of and we learn a lot from each other.  I was on the board last year as webmaster, and am excited to stay on the board and serve my fellow colleagues. The other new board members are listed on the UPVA website.

There will be no time for us to rest in the next 10 days–right after we finish this weekend’s Utah Bride and Groom Gala, we have to gear up for next week’s wedding show, Salt Lake’s Premier Wedding Show at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on January 19.  It will be a great wedding show with the cream of the crop in wedding vendors.  Plus it’s FREE for everyone.  Just click here to register.  We’re going to be in Booth 34 on the Mezzanine Level, showing off our new HD Demo with plenty of demo DVDs to hand out.  So if you’re getting married, come on out.  If you’re not getting married, then spread the word to your friends and family who are.  We hope to see lots of people at these two events!

Giant Brothers is featured in the current post on TheBrideandGroom.com Blog.  The article focuses on the Bridal Film–what it is, why it’s a great idea, and suggestions for filming.  It also has a link to Asmeret’s awesome bridal film, which you can view here. So go check it out!

Last Year we were suprised to win a Gold Creative Excellence Award from WEVA International, at the 16th Annual WEVA EXPO in Las Vegas. It really was a great and shocking moment as my wife and I sat there and heard our name called in the crowded banquet room. There was no way we could have done it without the wonderful couple Sarah and Jason, that allowed us to be part of their special day. We later found out that it was the first LDS Temple Wedding Video to win such an award and the first Utah company as well to receive Gold.

Now we are getting ready to head out to Vegas again for another wonderful expo, and this time we will have alot more Utah Videographer friends with us. I have alwayed been impressed by the amazing talent of fellow UPVA members in Utah and I think Utah is ready to show the world the kind of talent and skill we have as wedding videographers. It’s going to be a great year, and we will see if lightning can strike twice and we can pick up another award this year, or better yet, if all my talented Utah videographer friends can make a mark at WEVA as well.

Here is Sarah & Jason’s Award-Winning Temple Film from last year:
