Re: 1st dances
Hey Jeff, I pretty much always have two camera operators, thank goodness. Very rarely have the luxury of three or the difficulty of one.
First problem is fiddling with cameras before it starts....

Re: How much do you use a glide/flycam ?
Hey James, one thing I wanted to add... I played around with a friend's Glidecam a few weeks ago, and hated it. Couldn't believe how much strain it put on the wrist, and couldn't imagine myself...

Absence of motion
Wanted to comment on a video I was looking at (this is not one of my videos!).
Typically, when I shoot, one of my rules of thumb is "either movement in the frame or movement of the frame". So, for...

Re: Anyone score any black Friday deals?
The deal is seemingly still available; maybe it's permanent!
Art, if you pull the trigger on this, please post some sort of commentary on how you found it. I can see it as being handy, but mainly...

What to talk about on first meeting with couple
I guess the main thing I tell myself is that it's not a sales pitch. I hate making sales pitches. I believe, rather, in laying out information and letting people make up their own minds. The main...

Re: ?Ways to Use a GoPro - And which one?
Poking around on YouTube for how people are using GoPros at weddings. I came upon the following. This guy used nine different camera angles during the ceremony, and had a GoPro on a big stick or...

Re: My first wedding
Hey Kjartan, I really liked your choice of music, and I thought it felt like a charming wedding.
Main comment: I have to say that, as a casual viewer, I lost interest after about 1:15 when they...

Re: ?Ways to Use a GoPro - And which one?
Made more of an effort to use GoPros at the last few weddings, mainly due to Robert's thread, and am finding the footage really useful.

Re: What to watch out for at Jewish weddings
Danny and Don, thanks for the wisdom.
Remind me to stop calling synagogues "churches" as well (I'm pretty sure I'm going to forget, but I'll try).

What to watch out for at Jewish weddings
So, I'm shooting one in two weeks' time, and can't remember the last time I filmed one. Maybe January or February.
Does anyone have any particular tips?

Re: One point of failure vs many?

If the chance of a card failing is 1/1000, and if you use four cards, then the chance...
