Re: "Standard" but sturdy DVD cases?
I also had problems with the cheap bulk cases purchased on line. The plastic was so thin that many of the cases would be warped, I now get mine from Staples-more expensive but much sturdier.

Re: Smartphone Video Footage from Guests
good points - my thought was that the video quality would be secondary. The footage would be positioned somewhere in the edit as just what it is - "handy cam footage from guests" so the focus would...

I no longer use any on-camera lighting for that reason - and, because I don't like the flat washed out look from a straight-on light source. I use a 250 Lowel Pro-light as my main light. I have it...

Re: DSLR for Weddings
Tyson - I shoot with the T3i. I think it's a good value as it has the same video guts as the bigger Canon brothers 7D and 5DmII. I'd save up for a 24-70 2.8 zoom (or similar focal length with another...

Re: Lens use for glidecam/merlin?
I use a 24 1.4 with Merlin, 5DMII and a Manfrotto quick release plate. It's such a well balanced combo that I end up using it all day from bride prep to reception.

Yes I do - what lens are you using? I acquired a Canon 24 1.4 because I heard others saying that this was a good lens combo for the 5D and Merlin. After using for several months I agree. I find it...
