Meet Creative Director Richard Wakefield of FX Films, a high-end videography company offering state-of-the-art, contemporary wedding DVDs.

FX Films

Since an early age, Richard has created animations and short films, but it was only in the last few years that he decided to apply his contemporary filming and editing techniques to the world of weddings.

Says Richard,

I strive to be unique and contemporary, and am proud to say I consistently impress my clients. My long term aim is to continue making cinematic wedding films (always with the ‘Wow’ factor!), as well as to create corporate promos and training videos for companies/businesses, and also music videos for local bands and artists.

Richard discovered NewBlue Film Effects and became a dedicated customer as a result.

Since Film Effects, I’m addicted to buying anything NewBlueFX produces. Each package of plugins is so neatly arranged, well-produced, and comes with helpful presets and easy controls to tweak things manually. Now I find myself reaching for my own presets, thanks to the excellent saving sub-feature of each plugin.

Richard is a big fan of an old-film look. He explains,

In the past, I’ve tried various plugins, stock footage and my own-developed techniques to mimic old-film look (esp. Super8), but with Film Effects’ Film Damage, it is a one or two click procedure with the best results I’ve seen yet.

Adds Richard,

Of course, many of the plugins can be re-created by painstakingly layering your own NLE plugins, but when time is precious in the editing stage, these products these products are a life-saver for every project I work on.

Take a look at Richard’s contemporary style, enhanced with NewBlue Effects:

Richard concludes,

My customers are blown away by what I have been producing - a generous pat on the back to NewBlueFX!

A pat on the back to you, too, Richard. It’s customers like you that inspire us to create the best.
