Wedding Party Video

Kate and I wanted to do something different to ask people to stand up in our wedding, so we decided to make a music video spoof of the Fresh Prince of Belair. We taped the video with a green screen cloth behind us, recorded the audio in Garageband, and edited it all in Final Cut Pro. I also implemented everyone into the cast of various tv shows with Photoshop. Its not the most professional production, but it got the job done in a short amount of time while hardly spending any money, except for printing out the DVD covers. Here is the video, and remember we were aiming for “corny”…

The lyrics…

Now this is a story, all about how our life got flipped - turned upside down,
And we’d like to take a minute,
just sit right there,
We’ll tell you how we became Kate and Jer.

In Pekin, Illinois born and raised
in the cornfields is where I spent mosta my days
Chillin out, detassln’, relaxin’ all cool and all
Little did I know what would happen at school
At the U of I in Champaign Urbana
I was a d-bag frat boy who wore bandanas
I was lookin’ for some lovin’ so I went to an exchange
Although my roommates said ‘You ain’t got no game’

I saw this beefy man hangin’ with some friends
A future dentist – Mercedes Benz?!?
With all of my might I went to say hi
But realized I had homework and was quick to say bye
This smoking hot chick asked me to dance
Before I knew it, party in my pants
‘Hmm.. this girl be alright’
A future lawyer, man that’s tight!

5 years later, look at us now
A ring on my finger, writin’ our vows
No big lawyer, no Mercedes Benz
A teacher and a tooth fairy with great friends
That is why we’re sharing this story
Cause you were all there to witness our glory
So were askin’ you an important question
Stand up in our wedding be a part of our procession?!?
