Re: Katie and Brandon, reviews please!

Thanks to all for the constructive comments. Thing is, all cameras were either on a tripod or monopod 100% of the time. I too agree that some shots are distracting due to shaking. For those shots in...

Katie and Brandon reviews please!

Shot this wedding a couple of weeks ago in Livermore, CA. Had a couple of technical issues, and a 2nd shooter who didn't white balance. Post production was difficult to say the least. Okay, fresh out...

Re: Cinematographer ? what's that ?

We've always seen references to cinematography on movie credits, etc. but not so for videography. So yes, I think people, in their minds, associate the word 'videography' with 'video camera'; whereas...

Solo wedding shooters: How many cams?

Certainly this question has been addressed before, but I haven't come across it so figured I'd just ask again.

I am shooting a wedding solo this weekend; 160 mile drive and none of my shooters can...

Re: Using old tape footage on timeline with newer formats

Eric: DVD and online (Vimeo). I guess my biggest concern is converting the 4:3 footage to 16:9

Using old tape footage on timeline with newer formats

I have been asked to make a "love story" style video for a couple who is getting married in a few months. They have tapes (digital 8 and mini DV) dating back to around 2002. So, this footage is...

Re: Decent video camera for second camera?

I use a Canon 7D as my primary DSLR, and a Panny X900 as my second camera. They do indeed mix quite well and the X900 shoots incredible video for such a non-assuming, small form factor camera. It...

Multi-cam post workflow in FCP with different codecs

Hi guys,

I posted this same question in a different forum, but then soon realized that there hasn't been a response posted to any question there in over a week. So, since I have no patience, and I...

Multi-cam shooting solution for best post workflow?

Here's my dilemma:

I'll be shooting for 2 weeks on a cruise ship and in Hawaii. The cruise line won't let me set up my Panasonic AC-160 on a tripod; but it looks like I can get away with using my...

Re: Our Best Yet -- Would love your thoughts

Katie - First of all, excellent video. Something for you to be proud of! But since you're seeking the advice of other videographers, I thought I'd chime in with my two cents. I am not critiquing as...

Best kind of tape/stickers to use on memory cards?

As I begin to use 3 (or 4) cameras on a shoot, and still try to fine tune my workflow, it's even more important to label each CF and/or SD card; either with a specific color or a number. So, I bought...

Anybody using a Panasonic HC-X900M?

I just got a Panny X900M to use alongside my AG-AC130. I also run and gun with a 7D. Just wondering if anyone is using this relatively new Panasonic as a static cam, etc. and how the footage mixes in...

Re: Funeral Video tips?

Couldn't help posting to this thread, because I am probably the only videographer here... who also owns a funeral home!

I shoot funerals all the time of course; I could go on and on about the...

Re: Using an HC-X900M with an AG-AC-130

"How easy is it to get the HC-X900M 60P material into FCP 7?"

Quite simple using log and transfer within FCP7 (Apple ProRes 422 Codec)

Using an HC-X900M with an AG-AC-130

Technical question for the Panny experts:

I was just given (yes, GIVEN - pretty cool, huh?) a brand new HC-X900M, which I would love to use as a backup/static camera on wedding shoots; and other...

Re: Telephoto lens for wedding?

I have a Manfrotto 560B. A bit light for balancing a Canon 7D with a 70-200, I realize, but again I am running and gunning with it and often have much smaller/lighter lenses in use. So I have been...

Re: Telephoto lens for wedding?

I love the images from my Tamron 70-200 ($795.00 on Amazon), but even on a monopod, it's tough for me to keep the image stable at full zoom. IS would definitely be nice since I am running and gunning...

Re: Natalie + Ryan | Full Wedding Story

Wow, very cool! One of my favorites among the countless wedding videos I've watched over the last several months. The "dogs met in the park" story is like straight out of Disney's 101 Dalmations!...

Re: Lens whacking for weddings

CrumplePop has a nice package of wedding effects, mostly light leaks, that to me, make more sense than trying to do it yourself. As Steve S. said, once it's done, it can't be undone, but if you're...

Re: DSLR vs. Video Camera

That was a helluva list from David C., and I must say I agree almost categorically. I do use my 7D (yes, in a rig to make it more like a camcorder) for the 'glamour' shots, slider shots of the bride,...

Can you set the HM100 to shoot in 4:3 ?
