A collection of Behind The Scenes films by Paperback Films

Happy Valentine’s Day

Posted on by Stephen Gray

From One Plus One & Paperback Films

Valentine’s Day is always a great excuse to give a gift to someone you love. For Paperback, we get to see this expression first hand all the time in our work with weddings we film. It was only fitting to keep that alive by celebrating, in our own little way, Valentines Day with all of you. In this short, we explore what it means for these two clever and very talented graphic designers, while also getting a chance to look at the process of a concept through to print.

One Plus One is made up of a boy (Tyler) and a girl (Jessie) who are both inspired by many things and share a love for design. As they say on their site, they are a pair of cards is what they are. Not the King and Queen though, more like the Joker and the Ace. With their years of experience in the world of graphic design, they cater to industries from retail to manufacturing, cosmetics to construction, weddings to fashion and a variety of other industries. We invite you to share this Valentine’s Day with someone you love and give a thoughtful, creative gift that comes from the heart.

Card & typeface design by One Plus One. This film was conceptualized, written, storyboarded, filmed, edited, coloured and mixed by the At First Sight Films and Paperback Films crew. Song licensed through themusicbed.com/

Mason Jar Picnic Chic

Posted on by Stephen Gray

A Summer Picnic

Oh how we miss you now, summer… but today we get to unveil a really fun behind the scenes film we created with Weddings in Winnipeg, Simply Rosie Photography, and One Plus One Design. The ever resourceful Mason Jar can be used so many ways; for anyone interested in a do-it-yourself decoration for your wedding, Angela Taylor shows us how it’s done. The Mason Jar was the showcase for this shoot and with the dream-team talent of ladies from Weddings, Simply Rosie Photography, and One Plus One Design, the set’s aesthetics were gorgeous. One Plus One came up with some creative ways to turn some table stationery settings into something interactive. Their work is always amazing. At the end of the shoot, we all sat down and enjoyed Rosie’s master chef husband who made everyone a schmorgerborg of food to enjoy.

Au Courant | White Wash

Posted on by Mark Hiebert

white white… and a little black

White all around.  Clean and crisp, sophisticated and savvy.  Can’t get distracted by color on this photo shoot.  Continuing with Events by Emma’s Highstyle shoot, this theme is bold and stylish from the body art paint to the mood lighting.

Very honoured to see Curtis Moore’s photographs get featured in Style Me Pretty. And, of course, seeing it featured on Weddings In Winnipeg is equally as impressive.

Trash The Dress

Pool Time..

Water and wedding dresses equals fun. Mix in there a floating table and glasses of wine. For this shoot we had a lot of fun having the crane by the pool side and using a gopro to shoot the underwater video. Love the blue color! Kylie and Adam rocked this one, it was awesome. Very fun shoot!

Sophisticated Swamp

Posted on by Mark Hiebert

Green Moss, Frogs and a Princess…

Another Highstyle Theme revealed this month in the Weddings In Winnipeg magazine as well as online.  Emma and her team went fairy tail on this one!

Green moss, frogs, princess dress, and jewelry like you have never seen before. Yes the Swamp theme was one of the highlights of the days’ themes because it is not typical on the wedding scene, and it allowed everyone involved to let their imaginations run wild without limitations. Very fun shoot!

Jack & Ruby Photography | Valentine’s Day

Posted on by Chris Radtke

February 14, 2011 – C’est L’amour! It’s Valentine’s day and it’s time to reveal a little project we have been working on. Taking into consideration that we work in an industry surrounded by love, we wanted to do something that was specific to the theme. Little did we know…

About one month ago we were contacted by Kara & Becky of Jack & Ruby Photography. They wanted to hire us to document a Valentine’s Day photo session they had planned. Once they explained the idea to us we thought it was great, so we quickly signed on.

This film is really a supplement to Kara and Becky’s fantastic pictures. Go look at the pictures and then watch the video. It will give you some insight and a behind the scenes look as to what went on in the session.

We do have to say thank you to Desirae and Cole who did a fantastic job working in front of the camera. Desirae has her own company called Paper Airplanes, check it out if you have a chance.

We hope to have more opportunities like this in the future!

Enjoy!

Jack & Ruby Photography | BTS Trailer

Posted on by Chris Radtke

I can’t say much due to the secrecy of the project, but Becky & Kara of Jack & Ruby Photography came up with a fantastic idea a while back and asked if Paperback Films would like to film a photo shoot.  After much deliberation (kidding) we finally said yes. I’ll leave the rest of the info for when the actual shoot and video come out.

I have to make quick mention of the couple who were also a part of the shoot, we called them the talent :) Go check out Desirae of Paper Airplanes. She has some fantastic wedding stationery & graphic design work posted on her blog. Her and husband Cole put up with four cameras in their face for the afternoon! A complete pleasure to work with.

Anyhow, here is a quick trailer. Check back around Valentines Day in February for more!!

Grand Wedding Showcase

Posted on by Mark Hiebert

Weddings In Winnipeg put on a fantastic 4 day wedding showcase spanning 4 venues and many talented and professional vendors. It was a pleasure talking with so many wonderful couples who where interested in having a wedding video. Things have changed in the world of wedding video’s and many of the couples had not seen this type of video produced for a wedding.

The first question I always asked was if they were thinking of getting a wedding video? Most of the couples would say, “kind of but not really sure”, then they would proceed with…. “however we have never seen this style of wedding video before”. My favourite questions from the couples were: Q: Do you pose people and make them do it again cause your video looks so perfect it must have been staged? A: Not at all, we want to only capture what really happened so there is no posing or set up on our part. Q: If you don’t stage things how did you get those beautiful shots? A: We really get to know each couple as much as possible and plan as much as possible before the wedding day so we can portray your character… and we have shot a lot of weddings so we anticipate as much as possible.

So, the people were amazing, the show was amazing, and the wedding planners were amazing with their fantastic displays and decor that were over the top! If you are thinking of a wedding video for next year definitely shoot us an email right away, dates are filling up! Here are the sample video’s we put together to show what each event was like. Looking forward to next years show!
