An Interview with Videographer Jason Magbanua (Part 2)

by Maricar on May 8th, 2008

So, did you see that mini-movie that Jason Magbanua made for a wedding? That was pretty awesome, huh? As I mentioned in the first part of this interview, Jason has been recognized several times precisely for the kind of work that you saw. Among his awards are :

• Five 2007 Creative Excellence Awards from the Wedding and Event Videographers Association International (WEVA)
• Eight 2006 Artistic Achievement Awards from the 4EVER Group
• 2006 and 2007 All-Star Team of Event DV Magazine (see image below)

Jason clearly has the edge to be highly competitive in his field. But beyond the technological aspect of shooting a wedding, Jason and his team will go to great lengths to give the bride and groom a memento of their special day that they will enjoy for a long long time. You might also be happy to know that they’re not limited only to wedding videography.

Here’s the rest of my chat with Jason:

FS: What are some of the things you do to make a wedding special for a couple?

Jason: When me and my team go to a shoot, we bring with us almost eight years of experience in the business.  We treat each wedding uniquely and make sure we’re there to document every meaningful moment that happens during the day.

FS: Where is the farthest you’ve gone to cover a wedding?

Jason:
Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija
Pangasinan
Leyte
Davao
Bangkok - for an engagement shoot

FS: After all is done, do the newly-weds generally keep in touch with you for other events?

I love doing birthdays and baptisms of couples I’ve done.  It’s the epitome of trust and customer satisfaction.

If you’re curious about his personal life, I can tell you a little bit about that too. Jason married his best friend, Pang, who has operated his second camera right from the very start. Their wedding was shot by Jason’s sister using a “dinky ol’ camera”.

Remember what I told you about the celebrity couple whose wedding video was made by Jason? Here’s that video:

And for good measure, here’s another sample of Jason’s work:

I hope that you’ve enjoyed these videos as much as I have. Among the services that Jason and his crew offer are Widescreen wedding coverage and onsite MTVs. If you’re planning your wedding and are looking for a good videographer, well… haven’t you found one yet? ;) But you gotta hurry, because Jason’s schedule fills up quickly.
