Loved 99% of this video; I even shared it with the videographer on my team. I'm Team Gimbal though, hehe. Adds to the cinematic feel I wanna provide for my couples. I'll throw in some handheld here and there (for the same reasons you mentioned) but I love a good stable tilt and pan all day over wobbly footage. Great video, J!

@poq9640 Жыл бұрын

I've never understood why we need stick with particular setups. You should meet with the couple beforehand & figure out the tone, then go with which equipment works best, Their story is first and foremost the thing that'll drive your video. Makes it more than just a clean cinematic product with some emotion thrown in. IMO, your boxing yourself in as a creative if you're too attached to gimbals/handheld/etc.

1. Stop opening with drone shots. 2. Stop using acoustic guitar music. 3. Stop shooting things that the photographer can document (dress, shoes, rings). 4. You don't need the altar kiss as much as you think you do.

Bonus tip, If the songs aren't in the same Key, and one of the songs is instrumental, you can pitch it up or down to match the key, if one song is it E Major and another is in D Major, you can move the D Major up 2 semi tones, if one is in a Minor key, you can just google what's the relative major key

@juangaytanjr Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your video. I struggle with time. Most couples have so much going on and are overwhelmed that the time that we have for cinematic shots get put aside since they are stressed and in a hurry. How can i make the couple understand that this is a big highlight of their video.?

@waynelast1685 Жыл бұрын

Do you ever survey the couple as to what style or elements they would like to see in the finished wedding video(s)?

@WaywardNorth Жыл бұрын

Of course, I phrase it more along the lines of, “what are you most excited about for your wedding day?” And then dive deeper in the final call with them. For style, this all depends on their wedding day and interactions throughout. If there wasn’t a ton of emotion because the bride and groom aren’t very emotional then the style may be a bit more upbeat. And the same goes for if they are more vulnerable and emotion driven, I’ll cater the films style to that. Generally I’m letting their personality and day experience guide the direction for the edit.

I like the idea of conflict, but I think I would rather tell a story of conflict more in composition than in reflecting a couples actual real life conflict

Audio Decompression: I'ver had to slow down the Speed Dialogue to 93% before to make it not sound rushed, but any more than that It doesn't sound natural.
