Michail&Natalia Wedding Highlights 6min,
taken from three defferent parts of the wedding film
"Rain, Fog, Ice!" By Oleg Kalyan On ExposureRoom (http://exposureroom.com/members/OlegKalyan.aspx/assets/e0973e1e120b47e8b44a95c549adc24d/)

Just to clarify, the title comes from the sign,
at the Trolleybus station, these vehicles are very common in Moscow and Russia in general
: )

Beautifully crafted work. Nicely edited and shot. I'm sure the couple was overjoyed. It always amazes me when a videographer can staged footage without the photographer present... do you work with a photographer that will give up some of his shooting time for you?

You and the couple braved the weather to get some wonderful images. I'm surprised her dress wasn't grey by the end of the shoot.

What gear are you using for camera/steadycam?

(sorry about the double posting, my browser froze)

Оren, thank you!

the photographer was present on the set, а very talented Vera Klokova..

And, yes, we gave up some time for each other!

the dress was OK, a little wet.... we didn't have a choice, there are no cars inside the park, to bring the couple to the place where the guests were waiting. All the guests were waiting, but the rain didn't stop....

""What gear are you using for camera/steadycam?""

The stedicam is used only in the museum and on the wet grass, the rest of the shots are hand held, monopod, and moving shots are done from the car, by my second camera man Serge.

Hope this helps !

Spectacular work! You found so many interesting angles to shoot from. The composition is terrific. Bravo!

Tom, thank you, glad to hear that,
good thing if you understand Russian, I guess, got to put subtitles for all English speaking people.

I enjoyed it a lot.
In the first half of the clip you got my attention in way that it's hard to get usually. I was'nt checking out the shots you got and the way you edited the piece, but I was just enjoying watching it and being drawn by the story.
The second part was dragging too long for me. It was just photosession stuff.
Some more reception or ceremony (although I assume that you may not have been able to shoot it, right?) would go a long way.

Good work.

Konrad,
appreciate you watching it, the whole piece : ) , promo came our rather long, in three parts,
with some native Russian language, that possibly slows down empathy.

I may need to cut it for an international audience and to comply with the typical promo
running time.

Tnanks again!

Just to add a little explanation, the video does't cover all significant moments of the wedding, rather important from the point of personal storytelling.

No copycats here :-)
(so many people were involved in that discussion, but who gives a shit)
awesome work! this one - is like being there, really enjoyed it!

All I keep seeing is the erotic club video. Was there something else to watch?

Off topic,

Blake, you are kidding, right? You can't see anything else?

Just a few videos require passcode, the rest are for public viewing,
I began to use ER recently, there is not too much of my work there yet.

Buba, appreciate watching it : )

Yes, I was kidding. Although once I saw the erotic video, I really didn't see any other videos. :)

Why can't I get hired to do a shoot like that?!

Oleg - Lovely! I enjoy all of your work. Really liked the veil fade at1:55. Very impressed with the amount of time it seems you got with the B&G especially sharing with Photog. Almost thought this was a private session done before or after the wedding day.

Blake,
will let you know about similar shoot I do in 2009, you can work as second camera, you'd have to come to Moscow : ))

Art, thank you for watching!

I am very impressed by this. And I love the skin tones I see. Do you use an A1 to shoot this stuff? If so what preset are you using and did you CC in post?

Кееs,
thank you.Yes, this wedding shot 95% with Canon A1 cam. Some shots done with HV30.
Developed my own preset, it's similar to a factory one, with addition of Cinegamma,
and the Setup -9, it turns out to be the least noisy.

Tend to do less and less CC in post, editing, most of the time do it for
color matching between similar shots.

Cheers!

Hi Oleg.

I really wanted to watch this clip in its entirety but I always have problems buffering Exposure Room. But I was able to watch the first minute and let me jsut say I love the quirky composition and editing. It was very fun to watch.

One stylistic difference I would do (just an opinion) would be to transition to a still image, perhaps BW, everytime the camera clicks.

I'll try to load the video in Chrome.

Cheers! and thanks for sharing.

Jason,
I appreciate your input!

Everyone, sorry about problems buffering Exposure Room!

No it was done all on a wedding day. We had about 2.5 hours to share with Vera, the photographer.
The rain finally poured during late photo session, and the couple had to get to the ceremony on their own feet together with the crew (the footage shows :)
two hours later rain stopped, we took a few more shots in a beautiful park.
