There is this team in Greece that does event photography for VERY high-end people. Nobody knows them, there is no sight of photo in their website. Still, they book high-end weddings. This is good for...

That is not so pleasant. I don't know about how law works there but I think it's common sense that they can't do anything to you, since as you said, THEY uploaded their video.

Hi Rob

we have similar setups (some Sony FX1s and a Canon HV20 for the statics) and I think that you won't have a problem matching the images, as long as you do some good post work. Only problem...

Indeed, for a first wedding video, it's pretty good! And I might add, that I am one of those that still loves the slow motion. :) One question though. How exactly did you do the slow motion? What...
