In the vast world of wedding videography in Hong Kong, I go by the name of NICK. "NICK OF TIME. SPACE" encapsulates a period from 2016 to 2020, reflecting my essence and existence in this era. While it raises intriguing questions, the answers elude me.
As I painstakingly select videos for my website, my 8-year-old daughter tearfully pleads for a bedtime story. Her request brings me immense joy, yet it clashes with my nocturnal work habits. I find myself torn between my passion for working late into the night and the fleeting moments with my daughter. My elder companions often remind me that her need for my presence will soon diminish, urging me to savor these precious times. I ponder when children outgrow the need for their parents' comfort, wondering if seeking attention is ingrained in our evolutionary roots. This notion contrasts with Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY" musings.
Regardless of our intentions, we leave imprints in the fabric of time, where memories fade, and new, surreal recollections materialize inexplicably. Have you encountered such instances of Deja vu? I frequently navigate this uncanny sensation, akin to a dream where familiarity intertwines with unfamiliarity. This phenomenon stems from my years of experience in filming and editing rather than any supernatural prowess.
A narrative may seem straightforward, but human emotions are intricate. Consider two students embarking on a shared journey to an exam venue—same bus, same uniform, perhaps even the same song on Spotify. Despite these similarities, their emotional states differ vastly. How can we enrich this tale to captivate and resonate with our audience? Perhaps by weaving in montages of their morning routine or reflections on past exams, enhancing the narrative's depth and allure.
In my wedding videography endeavors, I embrace a similar approach. Amid the whirlwind of tight schedules and unforeseen challenges, the essence of the day must be captured swiftly and expertly. Every moment is precious, demanding a keen focus on immortalizing the couple's unique love story with sincerity and artistry. It is in these moments that my "special ability" shines brightest.
