How do you capture “the moment”?

 

It’s all the rage to actually capture the moment of the proposal whether it’s through video or pictures. I think Youtube is a testament to that.

But being able to capture the moment without the lady becoming suspicious– now that can get tricky. My own proposal scavenger hunt was completely captured by a photography student who literally took pictures of me from bushes and behind counters. Slightly creepy, but I’m so glad I have those photos forever (especially the picture of me literally leaping off the ground when he proposed). When Addison proposed, I didn’t know anyone was there.

But take a look at this video. Given, this guy is a skilled videographer, so I’m sure this is probably super easy for him to pull off. But at one point, I seriously tilted my head to one side and was like, “Hold up! How does this chick not realize she’s being filmed? Where are the cameras?”

This video was just posted on Youtube six days ago, and while at times it’s hard to understand what’s being said– it’s really sweet and pretty clever. There are a few shots where you can see the other cameras, but apparently he had camera men sitting in a restaurant, just nonchalantly filming his girlfriend at different angles. Interesting, right? I wonder if she was suspicious at all.

The best part? He put together a real film that played at the restaurant, but somehow had it switch to a live feed seamlessly so when the door opened on the film, you could actually see the girl looking at him through the door!

Seriously trippy stuff, my friends. I think this groom-to-be wins technical points for sure.

What do you think: What is the best way to keep the girl from knowing she’s being filmed?
