We will be teaching the nature of Premiere pro for editing along with some cool editing techniques. We will showcase the beauty of camera works like the basic composition and camera handling. We will let the participants shoot their own video, they will have a hands on training guided by our very own the Mayad team members. At the same time we will incorporate both edit and shoot and guide the participants in creating a masterpiece. At the end of our second day workshop, we will showcase the works and output of the participants.
Pros-Weddings:
May 18-20,2010 – 9am
UNIT 319 3/F LRI Design Plaza, 210 Nicanor Garcia Ave., Bel-Air Makati City
Our main goal for the pros is to enhance and maximize the full potential of the videographer as we focus on wedding videography.
For our first day we will be showing a never-before-seen full length video made by one of our own Mayad team member as we thoroughly discuss the steps in achieving the best video based on the materials on-hand. We will also give you some of our personal tips, tricks and techniques on shooting on DSLR and the story-telling type of editing Mayad is known for. In addition, we will let you in on our trade secrets, like same-day edit workflow, glide moves, and must-haves on the shoots. To top it off, you will also be entitled to show us one of your best work; an SDE or highlights and will have a one-on-one consultation with us.
For the second day, we will be teaching shooting using a style that’s truly the “Mayad Way”. At the same time we’ll show the participants how we shoot and direct our couples during the actual pictorial. An opportunity will be given for the participants to shoot a Concept Video with real model couples as for their models.
And for the last day, we will let the participants edit their concept video as they compete against each other for the best group during the dinner gathering later that evening. The day will not be complete, not until we party the night away.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
We found out we’ve been goofing around the office too long, so we’re packing our travelbags, booking our flights and ditching the paperwork. In our effort to always think out of the box, we decided to literally get out of the country. Mayad Studios is hitting the maps..as we launch Mayad “ROAM“.
ROAM is all about visiting new places,discovering romantic destinations and breathtaking new horizons. We want to have your lovestory unfold in these great places, and best of all… captured on film.
We’ll be traveling to places and cities around the world where we can meet up with you lovebirds and shoot every cinematic sunrise and lingering smile against the backdrop of the best locations around the globe.
Our team will be crashing in on the city of life on the 26th and 27th of April, so here’s your chance for us to shoot you there.
It’s a one time deal only, so don’t miss this chance!
We’ve got limited slots, so if you couples out there want to grab this opportunity,
