Re: Shooting Video and Being In the Wedding
Hi Scott,
I've done video/MC and twice done video/guest.
To be honest, I don't really see you doing video/groomsman if you have to stand at the front of the church/enter at the reception...

Re: Bringing equipment
Hey Jeff, I customise my bags for every job I do, wedding or non-wedding. Sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger. If I can get away with less, I take less.
Why? Because for me personally, every extra...

Re: Wedding Trailers
Hi Chris, what I supply brides varies a lot.
Until last week, I had an "a la carte menu" -- build your own package. Choose how many videographers, what sort of video you'd like edited (short...

Re: Wedding Trailers
One thing I'm curious about -- is there any real difference between a "15 minute highlights" and a "short form" video?

Re: Length of long version
I do like Arthur's approach. Firstly, it's realistic from our point of view. We should charge properly for our time instead of just saying "90 extra minutes? No problem. You can have that on me."

Re: Drive format and File size
Hey Clive,
Evidently it is possible to convert FAT32 to NTFS without data loss. Just Google around. For instance, I found this program: Convert file system from FAT32 to NTFS without data loss....

Re: Wedding Trailers
I think another thing to clarify is that what some people mean by "highlights" is more like 8-15 minutes, rather than 3-5 minutes set to music.
I've got a feeling this is what Tim means?
Also,...

Re: Wedding Trailers
Hi Jeff, there was a photographer I used to work for who sometimes offered a trailer/highlights only. (Let's assume both words mean the same thing, and that it's 3-5 minutes set to music.)

Length of long version
Hi, wondering if you promise brides a specific length for the long version (assuming you make one).
Up to 90 minutes? Up to two hours?
If so, how do you deal with the scenario where the...

Outdoor fireworks -- it's been a while since I've shot this, but, from memory,...

Re: A7S project (Not wedding)
Hi Clive, on a first watch I was too engrossed in the content, the compositions and the music to think much about the grading. Nice video! I'd be proud of that.
On a second look... Well, I picked...

Re: Better voice recorder
I think the Yamaha C24s are smaller than Zoom H1s. Plus, they have a hold button so that you're unlikely to accidentally turn them off. I've never tried them with lav mics though.

One way we did it once was scrunch up the fabric of the dress under the armpit and clip the transmitter there.
Don't know how many female celebrants would agree to such a procedure. These days if...

Re: Glidecam tilt technique
My second shooter does this all the time. I think the main tricks are just:
1. Make sure it's balanced in the first place; then it'll naturally want to tilt down onto the couple.
2. Anticipation,...

Hey Noa, I leave it on, and it definitely helps -- not just for 400mm and macro shots, but all focal lengths.
