Be THE Best Man You Can - Block Buster Trailer Release

Well, we have one more sleep until the world of wedding films is changed forever.  It's been an exciting few weeks.  You see, we had this idea... a tried and tested idea that we wanted to share only we didn't quite know how.  And then we remembered that as filmmakers we have more power than most to communicate an idea, so we picked up our cameras and that's what we did.  We reckon that there are loads of blokes who get asked to be Best Mans at their best friends' weddings who are absolutely terrified.  Blokes who would much rather spend the day handing our the odd Order of Service and supping with the other groomsmen.  However, with the mantle of Best Man falls a huge responsibility:  Everyone expects/demands that they be THE most hilarious person of the day... The Best Man's job is to present a speech which sets the tone for the rest of the day.  Give a perfect speech and the day is theirs... Then there is the flip side.  Give a mediocre, awkward or worse still inappropriate speech and all is lost.

Then we got thinking - why don't we offer a service to film the Best Man's speech before the day?  How cool is that?  We might be about to save Best Mans up and down the country.

imagine if you made your Best Man's speech in the style of The Godfather...

As filmmakers, if you don't learn something out of every film you make, then you probably are not doing it right.  This film trailer we have made has taken us all over Lancaster and Morecambe.  We have set ourselves challenges to make film sets out of people's garages and dining rooms, using basic makeup and costumes and it's been fun.

The best bit of filming?  It's when you are producing something with a group of like-minded people who get so hooked up on the shot that you are producing that you all forget to eat, you cease to feel the cold, you enter a zone which is just somewhere else.  When you are all in the zone, that's the best bit.  Our Gorgeous Media Team have found that zone.  Filmmaking is also about producing an edit that you are desperate for others to pull apart so that you can make it better.  This project has been fun and a challenge - we have challenged ourselves to make a film which doesn't compromise on quality.  I hope that we can make similar films for clients.

Be THE Best Man You Can - Blockbuster Trailer



Here's a press release for our latest project!  The trailer's about to burst onto the scene this Friday.  The World is waiting with bated breath...

Local film production company, Gorgeous Media, has developed a brand new, very exciting product for the wedding film market.

On Friday 18th July, they will launch their idea with the trailer - "Be THE Best Man You Can". "The Best Man Speech film idea is very simple," explained Gorgeous Media’s Jonathan Patchett. "If you are expected to be a Best Man and the thought of standing up and doing a speech is giving you sweaty palms and sleepless nights, Gorgeous Media can ease the pressure by producing a film of your speech in advance, to be shown on the wedding day." Both Jonathan and Owen Warren have already tried and tested the concept, having already produced and presented Best Man Speech films themselves. "My Best Man's Speech film went down a storm," said filmmaker Owen. "We interviewed friends and family, added dance routines, special effects and even explosions! It was a complete surprise for the bride and groom."

Owen and Jonathan said that their respective films stole their friends' wedding days. "When you attend a lot of weddings,” said Jonathan, “you do become very aware of the same internet jokes being churned out. Best Man Speech expectations run very high, and we just want to give Best Men everywhere a bespoke, personalised, quirky film alternative". Gorgeous Media hopes that their new service will complement their increasingly sought-after wedding films.
