One of the greatest weddings of 2016, if you weren’t there don’t worry as the clients have shared there movie trailer for all to view. Enjoy !!

A look behind the scenes in this Chicago corporate video production film set. We loved working with Elephant Man and Dj
Sultan the past 3 days in this corporate production. Aria Films crew worked 12 hour days for 3 days to create this Music
video which will showcase in April of 2017. Our locations based in a car room show cased exotic cars and look we were
going for the music video, along with other location which was a downtown Chicago venue called Joy District we were
able to bring the ambience of lighting and dance vibes to the table. The locations allowed for big spaces to utilize
cranes and dana dollies. We where very happy with the end result from lighting to gear. We used Carl Ziess lenses along
with the Canon 1-dc in 4k to bring this music video its life.

Another wonderful out of town wedding from Chicago to Houston for our couple Imran and Natasha. We started our film production

Journey at a unique venue called In Paris, with high ceilings we where able to capture Drone shots for the Mehndi day. This wedding

had much more then your typical ceremony and reception, from dance performances explosive dance sets and much more bringing the

Houston vibe had a big production value for the trailer. Our clients where so easy to work with in collaborating with our stylistic shoot.

The Stylized portion for any wedding adds glamour and vibe for wedding film production in the Muslim Indian wedding community as

it adds style to present the outfits worn along with the personalities of the couple.  In this concept video shown prior to the wedding on

the Mehndi day portraits a unique look into the couples pre-engagements and a unique wedding pre video to be shown for a save the date
