Q & A

Why do you and your team look so young?
This is a frequently asked question by our clients. And what we can say is that we are not looking young, we are actually young. The average age of our team is 24. Being young whatsoever worked to our advantage, as we tend to be more energetic and passionate to develop our own unique style of editing.

As early as the age of sixteen, Ethan learnt to document weddings and other special events through videography, he soon dove into the world of video editing because it is videography that really hit Ethan’s interest.

Instead of an elaborate marketing scheme, Pixel Hall Team has relied on letting their works and former clients speak in their behalf. This has paved way to the creation of their own niche in the wedding videography business.

What equipment does your team use?
We’ve always maintained that the tools are only as good as the person using them. But that said, we currently use the Canon 5D Mark III, Sony A7s for our shoots. We also deploy a crane, 3-axis gimbal steadicam, slider and aerial shooting, providing extra-ordinary shooting angles and camera motion. We edit on Premiere Pro, run on Macs.

Also, Capturing great audio is just as crucial as capturing a great picture. We provide wireless microphones for all of the sources at your ceremony. For the reception and speeches, a direct audio feed from the microphone mixer will definitely give you the best results.

Why we recommend two videographers instead of one on your wedding day?
In order to produce a romantic and creative wedding video, we recommend two videographers on your wedding day. It is important to capture multiple angles, especially during the registration ceremony. One videographer mainly focusing on the ceremony, while the other one could capture the audience’s responses and different angles (close ups) of you. One videographer usually isn’t enough.
When should we arrive on your wedding day?
We normally arrive at 8:30am. Bride should finish makeup before we arrive, so we could make use of the time to take the great shots. It would be good for spending 45 minutes to capture the bride, then spend 30 minutes to capture the groom before starting the games.
How long we need to make a same day edit video on your wedding day?
A same day edit is essentially your wedding video, edited on the day of and ready to view at the reception. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to entertain your guests. The look on their faces when they see you walking down the isle and realizing it just happened a few hours ago, is priceless.

With that said, a same day edit, or as we call it SDE, requires a lot of skills and experience. The movie has to be completed before your guests leave and in most cases that leaves us about 4 hours to edit! We suggest you enjoy the same day edit after you dressed up the clothes for toasting (around 9:30pm).

Is the final edited video strictly around 45 minutes?
Nope. It’s just an approximate. But the length of the wedding video is greatly dependent on what happens in the actual wedding day.
Who picks the music?
We do. Please allow us that. We are experienced team and we are confident to get the feel for what kind of music suits your big day. If you have any ideas though, we are always ready to listen.
Can I work or intern for you?
Approach us and you will know.
What if Ethan are booked on my date?
Then we’ll have the utmost pleasure of introducing you to my other team’s videographer. They’ll exceed expectations. We promise.
Do you shoot outside of Hong Kong?
As a matter of fact we do. We’ve went to Italy, Los Angles, Hawaii, Macau, Prague, Bali, Okinawa, Tokyo, Osaka, Taiwan, Shanghai, Beijing etc.
