Re: New Steadicam
Charles, thanks for mentioning that one. I've got a feeling I've heard of it before, but had long since forgotten it!
Anyone here have any experience with how well it functions?
Pricing: $399...

I liked some of the bride's laughs in the morning, some of the post-ceremony over-the-shoulders of the bride, and the circular sweep of the crowd at the end. Loved the big close-up of the bride as...

Re: New Steadicam
Yep! I think the thing is built for DSLR wedding shooters! So many situations where it could come in handy. Eg:

Ok, this isn't my work, but wanted to share it anyway. Not sure if it'll strike you guys as anything unusual, but it's very different to most wedding highlights I watch anyway.
Love the use of...

Re: Missing videographer
Yeah, you can't leave it at that, Noa! Ask her what happened. Story needs a conclusion. (And this thread might need to be transferred to members' only section as well.)

Anti-theft?
Dear all, do you do anything special to guard against theft?
This is a constant worry that I have; and, to be honest, there's not much I've so far come up with to help. I try to put bags in less...

Barbora and Lubos is particularly inspiring. Very well structured, and some amazing shot ideas. Thanks for posting. You do great things with sliders and macro lenses.

Re: First post in a long time...
One thing that strikes me is the very contrasty-looking groom prep. Did you actually take him into a darkened room and add your own lighting to achieve this?

What do you do if you're at the bride's place, and you sense reluctance in people to be filmed without makeup? Do you just go and shoot bridal accessories for an hour instead? But you're missing a...

Hi, if you're desperate, check out the Rode NTG8. I actually carried this beast round in my kit for half of last year before I realised how rarely I used it. But your situation might be different.

Re: Recruiting random guests as camera operators
To be honest, I don't think it is. Why should it be? After all, these cameras have to stay out of each other's line of fire, so it's not as if they're encircling the couple. Photographer has a...
