This was my first attempt at producing a full video w/ stills for a wedding I recently photographed. I found the learning curve a little steep getting used to the new video capabilities. I initially tried the Steadicam, but found that it was too time consuming getting everything dialed in after each lens change, so I went for for video w/ my usual standalone setup.

Initially I had intended to use FCP5, but ended up in iMovie after weeks of failed attempts at getting a good FCP RT workflow. Anyone have tips to keep it in full HD resolution?

In the end, I'm still just a photographer looking to add a splash of video to enhance the my photography services, but realize I'm in over my head when it comes to video.
