Any comments and feedback is well appreciated

Thank you

Susanto, it's still smoking ! :) Excellent work as always and great story telling ! .. just curious though if you do any type of post production color enhancement or just as is...

Regards,

Hi Santo, as I have mentioned in many of your videos: great great great! :)

A comment & a question:
- The music cut (to repeat the chorus) at 03.15 wasn't smooth (one or two beats too late). But maybe that's because you're doing an SDE and haven't had enough time to smoothen up :)
- I see you're using external lights on the dances.. what lighting did you use? and combine with what lens on the merlin?

All the best mate. You've definitely made Oz proud. KRudd shoulda hire you for his daughter's wedding in future (or maybe he has!)

Cheers

Kren: I do only basic color correction for now. But aiming to do more color stuff in the near future as we get faster on editing. at the moment we always finish on time which leaves us no room to do much color correction other than putting our logo in the end and render... but I always do quick color correction as I edit anyway... (3 way color wheel)

Johannes: YES! I was hoping no one would find that out... I was editing/shooting/capturing/transcoding at the same time at that time since I had to shoot the bridal dance 30 mins before showtime and had no more room on the edit to fit the dance in. And the venue only had dvd player so we had to spend time burning to DVD... So, I just quickly repeated the last chorus... not the best stitching but what can you do.. at least its a prove that it is the real SDE played on the night :P

As for lighting, we use lowel idlight and comer 1800. Great setup. Very well recommended. I don't like plugging cables around so these lights work nicely for me.
