Re: iPhone 4S Wedding
Hey Nicholas, I have to say your iPhone wedding puts my DSLR weddings to shame. Brilliant motion graphics title sequence as well.

Re: What if guests show up with better gear
One occasion I was jealous of a guest's footage: --
When doing speeches at reception, I'm generally on midshot or head-and-shoulders close-up. Why? To get all the facial expressions. Tripod is...

Re: Hindu Wedding Tips
Some notes on the ceremony from yesterday:
-- I lost track of time, but I think this one was about an hour in duration

Incidentally, am shooting a Hindu wedding today, as a subcontractor, for a DSLR company that specialises in them.
Standard way they handle the ceremony seems to be: one wide angle set right in...

Re: Hindu Wedding Tips
I've only done a handful of these. The job isn't made easier by the fact that, apparently, there are about a dozen different types of Hindu wedding.
But, generally, there's only one priest...

Re: Do we have to film accessories?
Re SM not showing ceremony -- I've no idea, but have got a feeling, though, that they'd probably still supply a video of ceremony and of reception speeches. Maybe ceremony is just occasionally...

Re: What if guests show up with better gear

During the "You may now kiss your bride", the aisle camera got the...

That's a fair point. That amount of stuff on top I think will make it very difficult to fly... But I'm fairly sure this Solo is flyable with just a Rode VMP on top -- after all, a Merlin is.
