Re: Daniela & Joe. A fusion wedding film, thoughts and critique please.

I'm not a fan of fusion. It's like driving 50 mph then slamming on the breaks, driving 50 mph and then slamming on the breaks... Your video was too good, it didn't need the photos, nevermind the...

Re: Does filming wedding weddings affect you emotionally?

When the bride was 4 years old, her Dad sang "Daddy's Little Girl" to her and he recorded it. 25 years later it was played during the Father/Daughter dance. I got teary eyed at that one.

Re: Rhett + Nicole | MUST SEE Wedding Highlights | Serendipity Studios

Zhong, if you're not going to use a video light than you need a faster lens. 1.8, 1.4 or 1.2s.

Re: Focus, Shutter Speeds, Timelines, ISO

Lisa, don't use the loupe all the time. I have a Z-Finder and only use it on a sunny day so I can see the viewfinder. If you use it all the time, your eye will be locked so tightly on the back of...
