Zen Film Works – “Josh and I have a new mutual friend. I had filmed Josh’s executive producer, Angela’s wedding in Paris a few months earlier. She was so impressed with her film that she recommended to Josh that I shoot his proposal. After a review of the portfolio and watching at Angela’s wedding film he was on board.”
“There were a few challenges to deal with on this shoot as there are with most proposals. One being audio, we had to hide microphones on Josh, his mother and father. This was difficult as Bobby was a very observant fellow so we had to hide well and quickly as we had to have them find excuses to be away from Bobby for that time to get the mics on without him noticing anything was happening.”
“We were planning on shooting this outside in the beautiful courtyard, however Mother Nature had other plans for us and the rain came.”
“It was Bastille day in France so there were road blocks and extra security everywhere for the parade and safety, so logistics was a problem and we had to add an extra hour onto a usual 15 minute trip in the city. There was also a very high list celebrity staying at the hotel so filming in the hotel was limited.”
“Keeping the surprise proved difficult. Our usual style of filming is to be pretty discreet, however to keep up the charade and not let Bobby feel that he was the star of this film until the proposal itself was quite the challenge.”
“Josh didn’t have any specific requests as he trusted us to know what and how to shoot, so his words were “just make it as beautiful as you can, I trust you” so we did.”
“Bobby’s reaction and his obvious welling of emotion had me tearing up while I was shooting. There were only smiles and love in the room the whole time. The dancers cheered and clapped insanely loud and it really enhanced the experience.”
