Re: Wedding on a boat!
Love the shot at 1:13 of the zoom/twist/focus onto the champagne.

Re: Ceremony audio - What lengths do you go to?
We have shotgun microphones on three cameras.
We use three pocket recorders (2 tascams and an Olympus 520) to wire the groom at least, maybe the celebrant or record the output off the mixer, set...

Re: Exposure headaches
I've managed to use a reflector in exactly one situation: the hotel room getting ready. I have a smallish one and a bar with clamps on my tripod. It goes on the side away from the window, and...

Re: Canon t3i or t5i for video? (B camera)

Re: My Second Wedding Film
I think it's that the light rays are too distracting. It's all I want to look at.
Lens whacking is, with a DSLR, don't connect the lens to the body. You hold it close by, sometimes one end of...

Re: My Second Wedding Film
Much better. I also don't like the rays at all. Have you considered lens whacking for when you want a dreamy/fantasy look?
Outside of that, literally the only thing I might have changed was...

Re: What do you guys deliver first?
I've gone back and forth on this. Right now, I do the trailer after the full video, but may still do a teaser immediately.

Re: Arial drone crashes into groom
Apparently the couple suggested (insisted?) he put it online.
The groom did get a cut on his face.
This isn't from during the wedding, but shortly before. Possibly a few days.

Re: Magic lantern cracks 7D Raw buffers.
Very excited, Ted, though I'm really hoping that we get ML on the 70D when it comes out. The combo of live AF in video mode with auto-restart would be fantastic.

Seeing the autofocus in action, and realizing that it will track, means that, yes, I'm excited and plan on renting one when they come out. If it's what it could be, we'll be replacing our T3is with...
