First wedding without the safety of a video cam. Still need to work a bit on the focusing, but overall I liked how my t2i's held up.

Great angles! Some of the skin tones on the interior shots rendered a little red on my screen.

Thanks for watching Greg.. yep the skintone is an issue on my computer screen as well... a few clips were kicking my but when it came CCing.

Very nice Stephen, love the use of audio over this sequence and the superb Isle shot towards the end.

Great:)

Jim Greene · April 1st, 2011, 03:10 PM

Very nice. My favorite sequence is during the ceremony when the bride looks at the groom then switch angles for his look at her. Great work.

Michael Simons · April 4th, 2011, 05:12 PM

Stephen. Nice job. I went to a StillMotion seminar and they mentioned try to "avoid mixed lighting". I now have the makeup girls use natural light. I've even been known to turn off all the yellow lights in the house/hotel room during the prep.

Hey mike.

That's actually great advice. I look forward to trying this approach on my next wedding.
Steve.

Steve - very nice. Loved the scene transitions. I felt the volume of the speaker's voice could have been a little higher in relationship to the soundtrack- because it was so good. Nice images from the T2i. Thinking about getting one myself.

Hey Art...

For the price I think you'll be satisfied with the T2i's capabilities. Right now I would like to pick up an H1 for a recorder, but it's not in the budget. I couldn't bump up the audio from the celebrant anymore without there being a lot more noise in the track. When I lowered the soundtrack, again the noise from the recorder was present. It's a battle every wedding and I can't wait to upgrade.
I have an H2 that I would love to use as the main source of audio. But it's so large I can justify sticking it in the grooms pocket.

Thanks for watching either way.

Art, for a few more bucks, go with the 60D. The viewfinder alone is worth it. I have the 7D, 60D and T2i and the 60D is my main camera just because of the viewfinder.

Hey Kren...

Yeah, I'm really bummed out by the skin tone. I bumped up the saturation so that didn't help things out (obviously). Thanks for watching.

Greg Fiske · April 11th, 2011, 07:30 PM

Stephen,
Maybe for the next time, but I've been struggling with skin tones also. This last weekend I started upcompressing my footage to 4:2:2 so that I could correct the color. It was worthless fixing the color on the original file. I'm liking the results I'm getting.

Lisa Maxwell · April 14th, 2011, 04:44 PM

I like it! Wow, you did a great job with two windows directly behind them! It could've been so easy to over or underexpose.

Michael Padilla · April 15th, 2011, 01:17 PM

Good job I really like the edit.
