Re: Finally upgrading to 6d
It's very much like the rebel series (the T3i came out right ?after? it) with better lower ISO noise, more dynamic range (but not a huge amount) much better auto-focus; but NO flip out screen. Not...

Re: Filmed my first wedding this weekend!
For crop factor DSLRs (we use canons), I don't mind 135mm zooms, but for full frame, I find I need up to around 200mm in order to get a tight shot for during vows.
For those overexposed windows,...

Re: 8 person wedding - tips?
Just to be clear, we ask about the interviews, both the B&G and the person we'd be talking to, and make sure everyone is interested.
We explain that even apart from the wedding video, would it be...

Re: 8 person wedding - tips?
Private interviews seem appropriate. We usually try to sit down with parents and grandparents and just get them talking about the Bride or groom, or themselves. If the parents are married we'll ask...

Re: Packaging of final product
We provide 3-5 copies of the DVDs for clients (b&G, and one for each parent) so $25 a piece is a bit much. We had been doing the typical DVD case.
I just found a bulk order of 150 linen covered...

Re: Starting out- long form or short form?
Somewhat agreed, though remember the folks who get married for less, we never see. They have receptions in their back yards with 50 guests and home cooked food (my wedding, for example).

Re: Starting out- long form or short form?
As someone primarily from the DJ side of things, I can tell you the majority don't have video. As a higher end pro, more of my weddings have video, I notice, but not most... not yet. Of course, the...

Agreed that many folks expect both videos... or at least a longer version of the ceremony to enjoy, though we always ask (both before and after) about what they expect and are looking forward to.

Re: curing a whistler
Not helpful when it's already recorded, but the root of the issue is (generally) proximity and angle. Talking over instead of into the mic helps the Ps; moving the mic further away helps both. An...

Re: Suggestions on Equipment for a start up
Why the T4i? I'd suggest either the T3i to save, or the T5i since it fixed some more issues with the T4i.
