Pre-wedding Films
Bespoke Services
Having worked in Kamakura for many years, I am familiar with the best times and angles for taking photos there.
We will tailor the most suitable shooting route and scenes for you based on the season, weather, crowds and atmosphere.
Route Plan
Custom Script
It's not a template. Banxia Films will tailor-make an exclusive script based on your meeting story, personality, and details, turning "your love" into a unique Japanese drama story.
J-Drama Crew
The production was executed by a current Japanese drama director and cinematography team, and filming was conducted using a real film crew process.
With careful planning and coordination, the "feel of Japanese drama" is brought to life in the language of the camera and the guidance of the performance.
Director
It's okay if you can't act. We'll guide you with directorial-style emotional instruction.
With motion design, we help you present your best self through natural interaction.
— Authentic, relaxed, and high-quality.
Cinematic
Instead of a chronological record, Banxia Films aims for a "cinematic feel": everything from composition, lighting, camera movement to rhythm is designed to make each scene more emotional and textured.
Edit & Grade
It offers cinematic color grading and editing rhythm, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
The slow-motion replay makes the final product look more like a scene from a real Japanese drama.
Concierge
Location communication and filming coordination can assist in communicating with churches/schools.
/Filming locations and scheduling (hotels, cafes, etc.)
(Venue fees and permit fees are separate).
