Re: Anyone producing same-day edits?
Nice piece Susanto - loved the open sequence!

Re: Anyone producing same-day edits?
I'll add this - watching the reaction of 200 people clapping and cheering after the SDE presentation is something that satisfies your ego abit and is hard to get out of your head. After 60- 80 hours...

Re: Good wide angle lens for reception?

Re: Same Day Edits Workflows
another time saver - if your laptop has a 3.0 USB port, get a high speed card reader ($40). I just got one and benchmarked the transfer of a 16GB card at 8 minutes vs 26 minutes with my old reader...

Re: ipad or tablet to show portfolio to brides
The screen is plenty big for use in a coffee shop setting. I let the couple hold it so they can move it around for best viewing angle. Video quality is exceptional. Either iPad 1 or 2 will work fine.
