Yeah, I actually have 4 batteries doing this, and I have 2 chargers. I did notice that the non-Canon batteries don't quite trigger the charging of the charger (if that makes sense). I have to place...

That's odd then. I bought two A1's, and both of their batteries seem to do this. I also bought 2 larger batteries and they seem to do it as well.

Have you ever had anyone ask you mid-interview if you were going to start recording?

I'm pretty sure if I tried this that my couples would start asking why I'm not recording when I'm asking them...

Ah, okay. I kind of like the idea of meeting with them somewhere else before the shoot so they can have a drink if they like to ease their nerves, and then I could drive them over. The trouble is I...

Batteries Losing Charge

I upgraded to A1's from GL2's earlier this summer. With my GL2's, I could charge the camera batteries after shooting a wedding, and a month later they would still have a full charge. However, with...

Looked good and I love that song. What's the tune?

One thought I had was that a few scenes seemed too long given their meaning. One was the outdoor shot just before the shot of the boy at the...

What a beautiful video! The rain really does add a fun and romantic element to the piece. The audio for them speaking could have been better, but then you were shooting in the rain and using a...

Thanks, Richard.

Interesting that you mentioned "eye contact". I'm very good with eye contact and kept it with my first couple. But I kind of felt that maybe my constant eye contact was...

lol .. I wanted to suggest a drink to loosen them up, but we were driving afterwards for the 2nd part of the shoot. Plus, the interviews were at 9am. Probably not the best time to have a drink,...

#1 - Did it already.

#2 - Tried to do this, but only had an hour to do both interviews. I spent about 5 minutes warming them up, and about 10-15 minutes for the main interview.

#3 - Tried to...

That's pretty amazing that you've been filming/editing weddings as a single man for that long! Wow. Usually people get into this business AFTER they've gotten, married. Way to break the mold, lol....

As nasty as this sounds, I agree. My wife is a photographer and she can back me up on this. Whenever you give the client the opportunity to "OK" something it seems they feel obligated to find...

I have my DVD professionally-produced by another company, so I charge roughly double what it costs me to help compensate for my time, etc. This comes out to $25-30 per copy for the client. I do...

One thing I've started doing is contacting the DJ the week before the wedding and going over...

You definitely know your client better than the rest of us, so you always have to do what you think will work best for them. Maybe we just need a different name for this type of video, lol.

I'd be careful with making assumptions about discipline. The reason I take longer to edit is not because I'm undisciplined, it's because I choose to invest more time in the editing process.

Okay, first off, the editing of the car sequences was done very nicely. Also, for being shot at night the footage looked excellent.

Now, in terms of a "love story", I think it had too little too...

Personally I think 800w might be a bit too bright. The lights I use have 2 300w bulbs, and last night for the first dance and so forth I only used one of the 300w bulbs.

I have to agree. I love shooting, but I love editing too. The only part of the process that I'm not fond of is the rough cutting. For me, it's very tedious to watch hours and hours of footage over...
