Re: Your favorite "Add-On's" that have made your life so much easier!

Mercalli is brilliant!

Main reason I don't use it anymore is that the latest version of Premiere has warp stabilisation built in, which is so easy to use that it's addictive -- you find yourself...

Re: Your favorite "Add-On's" that have made your life so much easier!

Latest lifesaver: MacDrive. Long story short: I edit on PC; badly needed access to a Mac-formatted drive; was tearing my hair out trying different options, and MacDrive just worked like a charm.

Re: Why do brides value photos more than video?

Random "Go, video!" anecdote: friend of a friend, working as a nurse in London, already had her legal wedding, but, for her proper wedding, was prepared to save for years to get the particular...

Re: Any camcorders out there with shallow DOF?

Depending on what you're ergonomically happy with, there are things like Zacuto Z-Motor that give servo zoom capability to still lenses.

Re: Are we heading back to tape?

Unless the price is ridiculous, I'm on board. Seems like a great archival solution if you want to retain raw footage.

Re: Why do brides value photos more than video?

Some more random thoughts I wanted to add:

-- Ironically, the fact that photo is a more democratic art form -- everyone's got a camera, everyone takes photos all the time, everyone circulates...

Re: Bangladeshi reception

Hey James, cheers for the comment.

I produced a "sort of" long form for this one. I mean, it had all the formal parts in full (entrance, speeches, dances), but none of the stuff in between.

Re: Issue with Zoom H2N peaking out :(

Hi Diana, it's definitely possible. But in terms of what you'd need... Well, the main things would be all the various connections. So, some cable to connect your transmitter to the mixer and then the...

Re: Why do brides value photos more than video?

I think ease of access and sharing is definitely one reason brides value photos over video; functionality of displaying on mantelpiece, bedside table, work desk, computer screensaver etc is another....

Why do brides value photos more than video?

I think we often bemoan the fact that they do, but I don't know if we've ever squarely discussed why they do.

From a videographer perspective, it almost feels absurd. There seem to be lots of...

Re: Issue with Zoom H2N peaking out :(

Hey Diana, Matt's tip is good -- those things are cheap, and it's worth carrying one in your sound bag just in case.

Some other ideas:

-- Ask the DJ beforehand to do a sound check at speeches...

How much does posing matter (for video or for photos)?

Random thought of the day: maybe people stress about this too much. After a certain point, does it really matter whether her hand is on his cheek or his chest or the back of his head? Whether he's...

Re: Overview and Tips for non-standard ceremonies

Firstly... they're usually about 45-60 minutes.

Chris is right about positioning -- you need to be standing on the stage pointing towards the audience. So, you're parallel with the priest, a...

Photo vs video thoughts

I'm practising some photography now, so wanted to post a few musings on how I'm finding it compared to video. If anyone would like to offer any guidance on anything I'm doing wrong, or could be doing...

Re: Most recent wedding

Hey Michael, I'm jealous. That place had a lot of character. I wouldn't know where to point my camera -- too many interesting things everywhere.

I think what I liked most about the video was the...

Just wanted to add the thought that if a bride sees the same cookie cutter framework in video after video, maybe some brides would see that as a good thing -- she knows how it's going to turn out and...

Re: Wedding moves

Thanks Craig. Some time I've got to do a part 2, because there's some longer moves requiring different techniques.

By the way, I've just seen two brilliant uses of slider, and the first one blows...

Re: First Ever Wedding: Alex + Zoe: C&C Welcomed and Wanted Please!

Hey Craig, great work. Can't believe it's your first one! My first is hopefully buried in the depths of YouTube never to be seen again. You could definitely make a go of this as a career.

There's...

Re: Overview and Tips for non-standard ceremonies

Hey Chris,

I've done three Macedonian weddings, all in the same church, same priest, but slightly different from what you describe. Bride and groom definitely did speak in mine, and positions in...

Re: Hybrid shooting -- good/bad idea?

Hey Warren, I wish! But, nope, these were just plain stills.

Promise I'll post some 1DC frames when I can, but it will be a while. Probably: mid-June. Not only trying to improve first in terms of...

Re: Wedding moves

Hey Art, I've checked with my second shooter. There isn't much more to the move than what I've described. He rehearsed it a few times. Was watching the screen as he rotated so he'd end on a nice...

Hey Kyle, there's some interesting vertical slides in that one. Did you do anything special to get these (use a different sort of tripod head, for instance)?

Here's a few other sorts of...

This sort of topic always reminds me, for some reason, of the Strongbad cartoon from 2009. Everyone here has seen it, right?
