Christine + Michael | Same Day Edit

Konrad — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 07:16:39 +0000

As this year is coming to an end, I reflect upon it and can’t help but notice how fortunate I have been to always work with great couples. The kind that is excited about the film, understands the process and is just plain joy to work with.

Christine and Michael were nothing short of that. And I was happy to see all the hard work come to fruition at their wedding. All the sweat, months of planning and attention to detail paid off!

This Same Day Edit captures only a glimpse of what their wedding was like. Festive, happy and all about the family!

Konrad — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 05:33:21 +0000

This year has been very rich in educational events for me. I had an honour to teach in Brazil, Australia as well as Canada and US.

I’m so excited to announce that next year I will be bringing my knowledge, experience and fresh sox to UK for a joint effort with Minty Slippers and Tatjana Green of Brought To You By.

Society of Movement is the new way of teaching. It’s a film workshop for a movement to create better ideas, re-inspire the industry and follow our passion for telling stories.

During the intense, very hands on, 4-day workshop we will explore and dive into areas like:
Storytelling
Color Theory
Commercial Edits
Ideation
Branding & Marketing
Gear + Lens Choice
Workflow + Short Form Edits

Join us for an inspiring experience. Let’s share, re-inspire and push each other to create the extraordinary!

Luxmi + Rishi | Fresh Wedding Intro | To Build a Home

Konrad — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 05:57:35 +0000

When Luxmi and Rishi asked me to have their Story Film and Same Day Edit to be played as a their intro at the reception, I had no idea we would end up with such a powerful film to start off the night!

Usually The Story Film is a separate piece about the couple and their story, however this time we needed to come up with a short film that would include both the couple’s profile as well as Same Day Edit, and not be too long as a night opener.

This film incorporated many meaningful and personal touches. Everything from the song choice, the lyrics and their story, even their favourite popcorn. It all comes together as a very personal and cohesive film.

When we shot this a week before the wedding, Luxmi and Rishi were still unpacking the boxes at the condo that they just moved into a few weeks back.
It was a great way to spend a day for them, both shooting and crossing some of the tasks off of their long wedding/moving in list.

The park that we shot at is the park where they go for a walk or a bike ride all the time. From their balcony you can see Luxmi’s parents house as well as the hospital where Rishi was born. Even the Ikea in the background is pretty familiar to them

This is a story of building a “new home” by Luxmi and Rishi. I enjoy the fact that showing them starting their life at a new place, in such a literal way, symbolizes their new journey together.

This Wedding Intro was a perfect way to get all the guests up and excited to welcome the newlyweds! Once the wedding party was introduced, the screen lit up and the following begun…

Enjoy!

Vivienne + Michael SDE | Timothy Eaton Church Wedding

Konrad — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 20:47:41 +0000

It’s time to finally start posting on the blog! So be prepared for a weekly dose of new films.

The first up is Vivienne and Michael’s SDE, shown at Westin Prince Hotel in Toronto on July 30th.

After meeting Vivienne at least 10 times, going over 10s of topics, even meeting her friends , it was finally time for the wedding.
I must say, it is so awesome to work with so many people that you know. From a planner, Melissa from Et Lofte Events, photographer Claudia Hung, to a make-up artist Rhia.
And to top this off, we arrived at Timothy Eaton Church greeted by a very familiar priest who likes the way we work. What more could I ask for?

It was really a perfect day with a great party at the end… Yes, I did end up on the dance floor… without a camera!

Vivienne recently became a nurse and she got a dream position in maternity care.
Clearly, she and Michael love kids, so what better way to intro an SDE than this..

Enjoy!

WELCOME – FRESHSOX is born!

Konrad — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:32:36 +0000

Hello world! The blog is up!

It’s been a long journey up till know. I have spent the entire last year under the radar, yet I have been blessed with a tremendous success in my first unleashed year.

Thank you to all who helped me along the way, and you know who you are. To all my friends who were there for me, to all my couples who have been working with me all last year and who’s weddings I’m yet to shoot between 2011 and 2012. Thank you for seeing pass the gmail account, lol.
Huge thank you to my branding team who has been there for me throughout the entire process. And it wasn’t easy. Defining who you are and who you want to be as an artist, as a business owner, but also as a person – it’s hard.
End result – Freshsox is truly who we are. Who’s we? Mainly me, Krazy they call me. However behind a great success there are always more people than you think. In the near future, you will see them officially on the site.

Without being tacky, big thanks to Marta, my great wife, most picky critic and best friend.

I am as curious as you where this journey will take us. Please, join our travel and follow us.

Just remember, always pack a pair of FRESHSOX!!!

Zuzia :) | 1st birthday invitation

Konrad — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:45:33 +0000

Hello in TRY ON section, where you get to know me, see my personal projects and find out what is important for me.

I’ve waited a long time to share this personal clip. It’s an invitation for our daughter’s 1st birthday party last may.
Instead of regular card invitation, we sent out this funny little piece

Zuzanna, or as we call her – Zuzia wasn’t too cooperative with the wooden blocks and Marta (lovely wife of mine) had to really rush with them.

The polish words put together with the wooded blocks basically mean: We’re inviting you to Zuzia’s 1st birthday party.

Oh my, she has changed so much in the last 9 months.
