Re: Teaser and photo booth videos (wedding)

Noted, Adrian. That was me being unprepared - too far away from my bag with the mic to grab it when the bride walked by to sneak off and write the letter. Here its an on-camera Rode.

Four years...

Re: Can someone help find an old Wedding Promo trailer?

Teaser and photo booth videos (wedding)

On Saturday we worked a wedding, our team, as videography (all day), photo booth, up lighting, and DJ. No, not just the two of us.

When we do a photo booth, along with photo prints on the spot,...

Re: Things that can go wrong with sound

Michael,

I know I just set the pocket recorder on the lectern. We use 3, and usually its one on the groom, one on the lectern, and the 3rd might be by the singer, or stashed somewhere else, if I...

Re: Things that can go wrong with sound

I came here to post a similar thing, Adrian.

During the ceremony, the priest reached under his robes to mute his own wireless mic, and accidentally yanked the cord/mic for me off his collar. It...

Re: How I hate DVDs....

Based on info available, the worst area for the U.K. is northeast England, with "only" 77% of households have a high speed connection. Most areas were closer to 90%.

I'd presume its similar to...

There are several services, including Vimeo, who will allow you to sell or rent your video/film through them.

I'm with you about whomever called first, gets time to talk to me and think about it. If a second person contacts me, I'm pretty honest about what is going on, and will tell them, but still spend a...

Re: Does any1 re-use songs for more than one wedding highlight video?

I do it all the time. I use the Music Bed, and buying 5 licenses is the most cost effective way to do things.

Slowly, as I've dug through their site more, I've found more and more songs I like to...

Re: REQ: Minimum Setup Advice

Michael, those Tascams are decent, so no worries. I like the slimmer Olympus DM600 series for the groom's pocket, with a matchstick mic, but use two Tascams for other spots.

I finally got my...

Re: Do you Always shoot the wedding dress?

I recently picked up a few things to try and help me when shooting details, dress or not.

a reflective surface. I wouldn't call it a mirror, since its not glass. It has an edge so it can stand...

It *can* be one of those things you ask her about, there will be brides who don't actually care about it. Its just another thing.

However, I always shoot the dress. If you don't have anywhere to...

Re: REQ: Minimum Setup Advice

This will assume solo shooting.

2 cameras. Install Magic Lantern on your 600D if you haven't already.
2 tripods, or 1 tripod and 1 monopod
Rode Mic for your walking around is good. Either 2-3...

Re: 1st dances

Like the vows, the 1st dance is one of those times I really like the intimacy of a tight shot.

Our current setup is 3 cameras. The two 70Ds get their 40mm f/2.8 STM and the new 24mm f/2.8 STM if...

Re: Photo + Video - One Man

Oh, I didn't mean 4K stills, I meant 4K would allow reframing in post, so then I could focus more on stills with a separate camera. My bad.

For instance, I like cameras up front, in the side...

Re: Photo + Video - One Man

Ha, LOLz.

As a DJ/Videographer, I agree, multi-tasking stinks. We finally got our prices high enough that when we go do our next wedding with both, we'll have a 3rd person, so my wife will shoot...

Re: Music licensing expense and time

Personally, I'm not fed up.

Similar to knowing I'll have to pay out $50 in USB/DVD case costs, I build the licensing into my price, and assume 2-4 songs, and will ask the client if they want an...

Re: Two body 7D or one body 6D

Came here to say the same thing as Brian.

If you're going to get a crop factor Canon, might as well get the 70D. The STM lenses to take full advantage of the facial-tracking auto focus are...

Birdman movie, done in long take style

Just watched Michael Keaton's new movie, Birdman, and it was shot in a style to look like one long take. Of course it wasn't, but its still incredibly impressive. This includes both the subtle cut...

Re: What format are you delivering raw footage for future editing to brides in?

I actually offer to do VIP interviews (usually grandparents), especially if there is a section of the day where I think I'll have free time, like during family pictures, if they're pre-ceremony.

Re: What format are you delivering raw footage for future editing to brides in?

For a wedding, I absolutely won't. All that raw footage can be used to make you look bad.

I do, however, provide a full length "documentary" style edit with original audio. Basically, its the...

Re: Sound - Should I just go down the wireless route?

For the same amount of money, you could afford enough wireless mics or pocket recorders for each potential speaker, instead.

The trouble with trying to snag the wireless signal is the sheer number...

Re: Spending money where it matters to brides

I'll assume those videos are short, 5 minutes or so. Have you ever asked those brides about the longer videos? Is that really all they want, a music video?

I'd be curious to know.

Well, we all have to remember, there is a difference between the things they actively notice, and those that still effect them, or have an affect on how the video connects with them. If you feel...
