Re: Any one only offering highlights?
Jeff, I have, but from our quality increase. We offered the shorter highlight style from the beginning as a sales tool.
Saturday I will go shoot for $1595 (8 hours) and make a full length video...

Ceremony on the lake front
I just finished editing our latest 15 minute video, this one with a ceremony right at the water's edge at their lake cabin. This was actually a destination wedding for them. This was in Minnesota...

Re: Any one only offering highlights?
Steve, I do both (sort of). Since I put all my footage in order, synched, as part of my process to make the shorter 15 minute video anyway, and that is what sells us, I make both the 15 minute video...

Re: Any one only offering highlights?
I don't do this, instead we deliver a 15 minute and a full length. HOWEVER, there is a guy I've run into three times now who 'only shoots highlights.' Of course, he isn't filming much, so it's not...

Re: Audio from dj
Yes. HOWEVER, you have to double check it. Some mixers have different outputs.
You want the "Rec/Record" or "House" output. It *might* be labelled "master" but on my mixer, that would mute my...

Re: Suggestions, especially for color grading?
It's alright, Bob, I get it, though it really is not much time. Mostly I am using this 4 minute video as a test case for outdoor color grading because, well, it's easiest to render quickly and see...

Re: Suggestions, especially for color grading?
Thanks, guys. I made a few more changes that helped, after Adrian's first post. Downed the saturation a bit, and apparently I had forgotten that "contrast" is a thing, so I added some. I'll mess...

I'm now shooting CineStyle profile, and pretty flat, but trying to get better at the post color grading.
Here, so far, I've done some curves adjustments, upped the saturation and contrast a bit,...

Re: photogs kiling spontaneity, the worst kind
I agree though I also understand. From my point of view, casually staging a few moments is a lot less work than constantly filming *hoping* to capture a genuine moment. However, I still prefer the...

Re: Finally doing 'Ceremony Only', what to film?
Thank you, guys, for all the info. I pulled back a bit on what I was going to do, but I think, in the future, I will get the B&G talking to the camera IF I talk to the pastor and he seems dull, to...

For focus, I have two cameras already set and focused on the front area (the groom). One from the back (85mm on full frame - wide shot), and the...

Re: How to get song license?
Just because a company allows the song on YouTube doesn't mean we, as the common folk, have permission to use it. This is primarily a concern for a commercial use (like us or a company lip-synching,...

Re: Finally doing 'Ceremony Only', what to film?
This time will be $500, which I suspect will be a little low, but it's a first time for this, and combined with the short notice, I was OK with that price. For now, it's a decent price... if you...

Re: Finally doing 'Ceremony Only', what to film?
I think of the single camera from the back as the 'Uncle Bob' and I only offer that to my DJ clients.
What I'm doing Saturday is a modestly priced compromise. I'll do 3 camera, solo shooter, with...

Finally doing 'Ceremony Only', what to film?
Hi, guys,
I've finally started agreeing to some not-all-day wedding jobs. I've already done a few 'Uncle Bob' style simple wedding videos as an add-on to my DJ service. This Saturday will be my...

Re: Sensor damage?
Despite having seen a bad DJ using a lot of lasers pointed at guests (and our cameras) just this summer, I totally forgot to change our contract so we can refuse to work around them.

Long form, solo shoot, 2 cameras, 2nd time
Yes, I'm the MC/DJ who thinks he's videographer. If you want to see one of my dances, skip to the 45:00 mark. I know when I'm only shooting video I don't want to be there that late, but it's pretty...

Ever since I've done videography, as a DJ I leave the house lights up a little bit (dim, not dark) during the start of the dance, to help the photog/videographer. After the first 10 minutes, though,...
