Re: Trouble getting a good audio feed from DJs
Roger, here in the U.S. its very unusual for a wedding to use a lectern. Typical is people use the DJ or hotel's mic near the head table. Parents or other folks who aren't the Best Man, MOH, or B&G...

Re: Trouble getting a good audio feed from DJs
Pretty much everything said is correct. Most DJs are knuckleheads. I know, I'm one of them. In theory, yes, like Edward said, the DJ *should* be running his slider/knob/volume/gain positions at...

Re: How to cool down
Noa, my understanding is that our friends down in Australia keep cool by standing in the shade of the many murderous giant creatures wandering the landscape.
Cool, damp clothes/bandanas/towels on...

Re: Editing of Speeches/Dances/In Betweens
David, I know what you mean about cramped spaces. If I can, I'll do my longer lenses so my cameras are further back and out of the way. If the B&G's table is amongst the guests, like a harvest...

Re: Editing of Speeches/Dances/In Betweens
If I can, I shoot 3 camera. 2 on the subject (one wider than the other, and follow the 30 degree rule), and one for crowd b-roll. Then, if someone is puttering around between, you have something to...

Re: streaming a shoot
I believe YouTube still requires you to have at least... 100(?) subscribers to your channel before you can live stream.
I suppose it depends on budget and expectations here.
If its on the...

Re: GH4 Doesn't Auto-Focus Worth #$@!
You're right, Noa. Calls do get monitored mostly to keep tabs on the employees, though it does help in the case of a really awful (violent) customer calling. I did work for Amazon.com and it...

Re: Learning copter: video/FPV questions
I suppose it also depends on how far into this you want to end up.
For instance, I think of my Iris+ as a toy, even though I do plan on using it at some weddings a little (just another tool,...

Re: I hate these new led lights!
The punchline being that their lighting doesn't really even look good to the guests, either, though. I still remember a DJ, years ago, pointing out that all that lighting, all on the same side of...

Re: Biggest Challenge with DSLRs
Easiest way for us has been using the Canon 70D anytime the light is decent (we try not to go above 1600 ISO). It takes care of the focus (and tracks focus) for us.
Before we upgrade, I'm really...

Re: I hate these new led lights!
I just might post some quotes from this thread to a DJ message board I frequent. Maybe a couple of guys will learn something.
I guess having almost total control over the lighting is the one...

Re: Any one only offering highlights?
For the first part, always show the B&G their video first. I upload to Vimeo, then send them the link. THEN I post it to my website's blog and our own Facebook, and send them the links to share...

Re: I hate these new led lights!
Noa, your story reminds me that, as a DJ, I can charge a premium, not because I'm that good, but because so many DJs are just that terrible.
Seriously. WTF.

Re: If You Could Ban ONE Reception Song?
Haha. Some of you may recall I'm actually an MC/DJ (or, ALSO, I guess). I've done the music at about 600 wedding dances. I'm glad to hear you guys hate some of the music as much as I do.
