Re: Questions for the wedding editors

Re: Help with my first Wedding shoot
Well.. apart from 'forgetting to hit record', I did another foolish mistake on my last wedding. I accidentally plugged my mic on the earphone jack instead of the mic! So it's recording a very audible...

Re: Questions for the wedding editors

Re: Questions for the wedding editors
The simple way to make more money is definitely by cutting down your editing time. Assuming total profit $2000... If you cut down your total editing time to say 10 hours (which is possible) and...

Re: Questions for the wedding editors

Re: Questions for the wedding editors
My mistake Warren, I meant per edited video clip (ie. the preparation, ceremony, reception, etc) that goes into the DVD. Not per clip from the camera. :)
I've recently been using PluralEyes (yes,...

Re: Questions for the wedding editors
I would like to know how others does it as well. As for me:

Sure there are bad vendors, but you shouldnt go to...

Re: Good wide angle lens for reception?
+1 on that. I very rarely use f2.8 on reception unless its on a 5D where I can crank the ISO to 2400. But with the 7D, I need atleast f2.0 to stay within ISO1250.

Re: Bride complaints..
