OK, vimeo as I love the quality but its the sort of first dance you see on youtube. Best bit is always when no one knows and its a suprise to all.

Unfortunatly a guest beat us to it in regards to getting footage online (the wedding was only yesterday!). I was thinking "I dont remember anyone with a video camera" then realised it was footage from a compact stills camera... taken from right next to the wife! Ahh well, ours came out better :)

Good job! Tech questions:

Are you running multiple steadicams or did you velocity / slow mo a few parts to show the crowd, but keep the audio going?

How was your audio recorded? Seemed pretty clear.

Audio is all on camera, auto volume. That way as I moved closer, further away it keeps it level.

Just one steadicam and one static. The video is all shown realtime. No slow mo, no speeded up, no editing trickery (didnt have time, had to get it on youtube before one of the guests).

We film like any other live show, I sweep in with a steadishot then pull out of view of the other camera for a bit.
