An Exclusive Interview with Vaaibhav Singvi, Creative Director & Founder of The Movie’ing Moments
Vaaibhav Singvi, Creative Director and Founder of The Movie’ing Moments, has built a brand known for turning emotions into cinematic experiences.
In this interview, he discusses his creative journey, storytelling philosophy, and how The Movie’ing Moments continues to push visual artistry forward.
What was the inspiration behind founding The Movie’ing Moment?
Vaaibhav Singvi: The Movie’ing Moments was born from my love for storytelling – for capturing emotions that words often can’t. When I entered the wedding industry, I felt that while many films looked beautiful, they often missed the heart of the story.
I’ve always believed a wedding isn’t just an event – it is a deeply personal story of two people, their families, and the worlds that unite around them. I wanted to create films that don’t just show what happened, but make you feel every moment again.
That is how The Movie’ing Moments began – with the intent to bring cinematic storytelling into real-life celebrations. Even today, what drives me is seeing couples relive their emotions years later, through the stories we have told for them.
What’s your approach to crafting emotionally engaging and visually powerful stories?
Vaaibhav Singvi: For me, storytelling begins long before the camera rolls. It starts with understanding – who the couple is, what defines their bond, and the small, in-between moments that make their story unique. Every conversation, every shared memory gives us a glimpse into their emotional world, and that becomes the foundation of our film.
Visually, I believe beauty lies in authenticity. We don’t chase grandeur for the sake of it; we chase moments that feel real – a father’s pause before giving his daughter away, a nervous smile before the vows, or that unspoken glance between two people who just know.
Our approach blends cinematic aesthetics with emotional truth. The visuals draw you in, but it’s the emotions that make you stay. And here, we don’t just capture weddings – we craft experiences that touch hearts, long after the celebration ends.
Can you share a project that best reflects your philosophy of storytelling?
Vaaibhav Singvi: One film that truly reflects our philosophy is “Two Prayers, One Promise,” a wedding we shot in Thailand. It wasn’t just about stunning visuals or grand moments – it was about emotion, culture, and connection.
The couple came from different backgrounds, yet their story was tied together by shared faith and love. We built the narrative around their personal vows and prayers – using their voices, their silences, and the energy of their families to tell the story. Every frame was designed to feel honest and deeply human.
What made it special was how it made everyone feel something – even those who didn’t know the couple. That, to me, is what true storytelling is about: when a wedding film goes beyond documentation and becomes a memory that stirs emotion every time you watch it.
What influence has technology—like AI and VR—had on modern filmmaking and content creation?
Vaaibhav Singvi: Technology has completely redefined how we tell stories today. Tools like AI and VR have expanded what’s possible – not just visually, but emotionally. At The Movie’ing Moments, we see them as creative partners rather than replacements.
AI has helped us streamline our post-production – from smart color grading to emotion-based editing suggestions – allowing us to focus more on the heart of the story rather than just the technicalities.
VR and immersive media, on the other hand, are changing how audiences experience weddings. Imagine parents reliving their daughter’s pheras in a 360° virtual environment – that’s storytelling elevated through emotion and innovation.
But even with all this technology, I believe the soul of filmmaking still lies in human connection. Tech can enhance storytelling, but it can never replace the empathy and intuition that make a story feel alive.
How do you see independent filmmakers shaping the future of Indian cinema?
Vaaibhav Singvi: Independent filmmakers are, in many ways, the heartbeat of modern Indian cinema. They are not bound by formulas or trends – they are driven by emotion, authenticity, and purpose. What’s exciting is how they’re reshaping the way stories are told – more personal, more rooted, and more fearless.
As someone who comes from the world of wedding storytelling, I deeply relate to that spirit. Indie creators remind us that cinema isn’t defined by scale, but by truth. They are exploring local cultures, intimate emotions, and experimenting with visual language in ways that big studios often can’t.
With access to better tools, global exposure, and digital platforms that value individuality, independent filmmakers are not just participating in the future of Indian cinema – they’re defining it. They are proving that powerful stories do not need massive budgets, just an honest heart behind the lens.
How do you manage creative differences while maintaining a strong brand identity?
Vaaibhav Singvi: Creativity thrives on differences – and I’ve learned that disagreements aren’t obstacles; they are opportunities to refine the vision. At The Movie’ing Moments, we have built a culture where every opinion matters, but the story always comes first.
Whenever creative differences arise, we go back to the why – why we are telling this story, what emotion we want to leave behind.
That shared purpose often bridges most gaps. I also encourage every team member to experiment freely, but within the emotional and visual tone that defines our brand – timeless, cinematic, and deeply human.
Our identity isn’t about uniformity; it is about harmony. As long as every frame evokes truth and connection, we know we are aligned – even if we took different paths to get there.
What advice would you give to young creators starting their own production ventures?
Vaaibhav Singvi: As someone who started this journey from scratch, my advice to young creators would be: trust your vision, but don’t do it alone.
When I started, I focused on understanding every part of the production process – from conceptualizing stories to editing the final frame – because that foundation allowed me to make better creative and business decisions.
At the same time, building the right team and network is just as important as your creative skills. Surround yourself with people who challenge you, inspire you, and help elevate your work.
Also, don’t wait for the perfect project or the perfect resources. Start small, execute with care, and let the quality of your storytelling speak for itself. If you stay curious, adaptable, and committed to your craft, opportunities like the one with Sugarmint will find you.”
Vaaibhav’s vision reflects passion, precision, and purpose, inspiring storytellers to create meaning beyond visuals.
