Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

Hi Nigel,

I'll be honest, I know that I always create a new Library for every project that I create in FCPX, but once I optimise my footage, these Libraries become insane in size. When people...

Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

Hi Danny!

Thanks for this informative post!!

Scary that you lost an entire system! That's why I'm moving towards a Thunderbolt 2 editing station, with a Synology server running as its back...

Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

Thanks Steve, have you used 4K mode and ran it for an hour???

I am planning to get the GH4R for my next church wedding in June. Peace of mind. Seems to sold out across the country though.

Thanks for this Jeff - I'll do some research, or get the GH4R.

Re: Ceremony Coverage / Audio Old Post and Suggestions for Current Setup

Have you ever been burned in terms of your lapel on the groom? And if so, what's your back up solution for that? The zoom closeby?

I've had similar experiences within the church, even after being...

Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

Thanks Pete. I like the idea of doing this, but like you, I am also at the end of my budget for this year... if I hooked up the Atomos to a GH3, would I be able to get unlimited time recording, or...

Re: Tascam DR-10CS - where have you been all my life.

Uncertain as to how to answer this one. The biggest difference between the two (correct me if I'm wrong), is that the Sennheiser connection / non-standard jacks are needed for the TASCAM, whereas the...

Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

How's the Atomos Ninja? Do you have to record with much larger file sizes?

Yeah, pretty much. I am thinking for this year's investment (end of the year), to get the G RAID Studio XL 32TB with a...

Ceremony Coverage / Audio Old Post and Suggestions for Current Setup

Hi All,

Thought people would find this of interest. I'm trawling old boards to find audio solutions throughout the ages! :)

This is one really interesting post (mainly because he uses a Mini...

Re: How to handle this edit?

I would be really interested in seeing this, Pete, as I am also getting similar requests for a 'celebration' following a wedding day. What the point of this celebration will be, remains to be seen,...

Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

Surely the best way to remain OK in the event of a hard disk drive failure is to have all drives running as RAID 5s? I know it's an expensive solution, but you can get 1TB for £100 at incredible...

Re: Lens changing and focal lengths

I'm terrible. I'll swap lenses like the wind changes direction. I have a 12mm prime for indoor wides, 25 f/1.4 for most of the bridal prep, 12-40 for ceremony in 4K, 40-150 if outside shooting tele,...

Re: New Year's Resolution?

Not to point my camera at lasers. This results in a broken sensor.

Re: On camera light for a hater?

I use the Rotolight Neos. Extremely soft light that looks gorgeous. I'd definitely recommend them. The only downside is that you have to keep re-tightening them every 15 minutes or so, as they tend...

Re: Let's share our Lav Mic techniques!

I've experienced the rubbing sounds using these, though I'm sure they're capable of working well. I used their windshields for an outdoor ceremony, and they worked brilliantly.

My technique is...

Re: Your Favorite 2015 Wedding Film

Nice work, Michael! You definitely captured the spirit of their day, and I appreciated their vows at the start of the film too!

Looking forward to seeing more films from everyone!

Re: Manfrotto TRipod with ground level spreader

I use a ground-level spreader Manfrotto when shooting for a friend, and mostly find it preferable. I'd see how you get on with it at first, but I'm an inexperienced poster, so take what you will from...

Re: Camcorders only

And this is a POV from a person who has the freedom to move around during a wedding ceremony.

I use the AX100 to cover me, and a GH3 and GH4. Most ceremonies I shoot last 30 minutes tops, so the...

Re: What lenses are you using throughout the wedding?

To add to the discussion, I also use M4/3. I'll state my lenses and put the FF equivalent in brackets:

Establishing shots:
12mm f/2 (24mm)

Prep shots:
25 f/1.4 (50mm)
75mm (150mm) f/1.8 ...

Re: DJI Osmo for Weddings?

Also, using a screen to focus, change your aperture / shutter / ISO is a pain. I dislike touch screens in general, and the general reason for paying more for a camera is to usually get more physical...
