Man, that was great...
LOL Vito! I have these pangs of self doubt when I watch great work like this and Travis C's stuff.
Jason, if it's not too "inside" do you have assistants and or other shooters on your events? I seem to get major pushback on the second camera or assistant idea when I propose it. Probably about 50/50 between budget or the clients perception that there will be too much distraction with more than one cam.
Do you use warm cards? I find that perfect white balance nausating literally. I'm not sure what it is but for some reason I hate it. Your vids seem so much warmer but that may be the serious Bokeh you got going on. That Brevis is a bad motor scooter:)
Still can't get over the fact that I would need to carry that much more junk around. My jobs are really short and fast paced. Your SDEs just blow away so many others highlights that take months for people to get.
Do you plan your shots ahead of time? Like a story board? Oh yeah, and boxers or briefs? :)

Mike.
1. I always have another shooter to cover the groom prep and the 2nd/reverse angles at church and ceremony. I would hate to miss anything at the bride prep and run around in the church to find a better angle. I know it can be done but I'm no Joel P.
Labor is cheap here so I can afford two other assistants to setup stuff and take care of equipment. I don't however pay them cheap. =) If I'm feeling like it, I hire another person to wipe my sweat. j/k
2. I don't like perfect WB too. Too blah, too antiseptic. I like warm (almost too much). No warm cards but approximate a good WB within a given situation. As you know, we also color in post so a great deal is added after the fact.
3. I know what you mean about the junk. Necessary evils I suppose. I started out with a GL1 and a Velbon tripod with not much else.
4. Except for a couple of looks/pegs/approaches/trick shots that dawn upon me from time to time. SDEs are mostly winged. The song however is chosen prior. Sometimes months before, sometimes the night before.
5. Commando. |
