Re: Going DSLR for Show/event filming
Vince,
the 12 minute time limit has been worked around on the newer Canons - they create multiple files, up to 4(?). I believe this is on the T5i (same sensor as the 7D), 6D, and Mark iii, but...

Re: Sales Commission %

Re: Editing Revisions From Client
your wording is awfully vague. What is reasonable?
Mine has a cap of editing (not rendering) time. Specify a date (June 16, 2013), not '5 days'. It means changing it on each contract, but the...

Re: Good lens for front of Church - 18-135mm?
Types of shots (tight, medium, wide), distance, and lighting will all matter.
On our crop factor DSLRs, our rear camera is usually at 200mm for a modest wide shot. From the side aisles, we find...

Re: Printing options onto DVDs
Do you guys do custom labels for a wedding, or a more generic 'our wedding day' label you can order from a company in bulk?

Re: Photographer Ruined Wedding ..
While that is, hopefully, what happened, I recall a wedding last year where I couldn't believe how few pictures the photog was taking. When the bride/dad began their processional, I swear, photog...

Whatever ends up being right for you, the best option is a microphone/receiver that has selectable channels. Apart from any frequencies that always have interference in your area, the last thing you...

Re: Photographer Ruined Wedding ..
Unless it was a case of fraud as in when a photog shows someone else's work as their own, or gets away with showing 6 decent photos instead of a real portfolio.

Re: Anyone gambled $100 on the Monoprice camera?
The difference being an HDMI cable either works or it doesn't... it's digital. A camera isn't just a camera, it's the sum of it's parts.
I'll go ahead and assume that, like any other inexpensive...

I guess I don't quite understand what the speakers have to do with anything... is it that they're in the shot? Or is it about the audio?

Re: Canon 650D/T3i jerky video when sliding
No. You need a lens with IS, first of all.
2nd, the T3i is just a light camera, so it's going to jerk and shake more than heavier cams when you move it, On a slider with an IS lens, this will...

Re: Oh No!
Good luck, but if you can't find it, edit around it. Go ahead and use your reaction shots. If you have any close up faces of B&G from another part of the ceremony that match well, insert them.

It's easiest to sell when you DON'T give people choices, at least up front. Book or don't. They can decide on add-ons later. Our contract is for our minimum, then has 'client options' listed that...
