Thanks a ton for this video, I have always struggled with making reception details look good, you have given me some great ideas that I will be implementing in my workflow.
Yes! So glad it's helpful
Dirty the frame!
Do it!
like you put the video perspective ideas
Glad it's helpful!
This is so good! Thanks for always putting out such helpful content! Do you use freehand or gimbal for more of the close up details shots?
Typically we're doing tighter details either handheld with monopod attached or on a 70-200 on a monopod.
Thanks so much for this, Nick! I was able to do this at my last wedding and it worked out really well. A lot less stressful than how we were doing it before! I do have a question that I hope you can answer - (4:01-4:05) You mention taking your camera off of autofocus, going to manual, and leaving the camera. What happens if your groom moves and no one is there to adjust focus until after the processional? That reaction shot is always a high request for me.
I try to position the camera in a place where people won't get in front of it. I take it off autofocus so that the camera doesn't end up on the officiant or someone else. I leave the camera at f4.0 or greater to get more in focus. I'll hang out on the groom as long as I can to make sure he stays in focus when the bride comes down the aisle. An overwhelming majority of the time, this works.
Aputure? Is that a hidden ad?
About f11
@@lit_wick no I mean you've used word aputure (a company that does lights) instead of aperture (an opening in a lens)
Typo 🤦🏻♂️
Amazing BTS!
Glad it's helpful!
You guys are fun! 😊
Thanks for your help!!
Mini 3 pro has 4k 60 and 10 bit
😂
My xt3 is not firing with it installed … just got one What should I do ?
I'm not sure - what isn't it doing? Maybe reach out to Pocket Dispo if it's still not working.
@@HowToFilmWed the lens clip on good, it’s fully working, The image on my screen is nice. The vignette is there. The camera is fully working except it’s not firing, not taking the picture. There’s a sensor on the ring I’m scared it’s not « linking/connecting » with the body. Because when I swap it with my regular lens it’s working fine.
@@louphubin7667 you need to change the "release w/o shutter" option on your camera to enable otherwise it wont work. cause its seeing it as a cap and not a lens.
@@torresphotoco absolutely right! thank you so much It’s working now.
Not included in this video is me trying to chase the couple around in that wind on the beach...there's still sand in that drone 😂
Weird to see another name after Blake other than ‘theEditor’
so excited to share this one!
Thanks for doing this!
If I put this on the Sony apsc sensor (a6700) does the focal length change at all from the 28mm that it’s supposed to be?
The a6700 has a 1.5 crop to it. So this lens would be a 42mm equivalent on your camera.
We are so grateful that you chose to review our lens! We absolutely love the footage you featured!
It's such a cool little lens - thanks influencing me!
I just ordered one. I’m also going to try a macro extender on it to see how things change
That sounds really cool. Let us know how it turns out!
This was great! Thanks for sharing! I always try to get audio from the bride about how they met or “how do you think he’s feeling right now”
That's a really good question!
thank you brother Nick! The only thing I will add, is to leave a 2-minute moment between the bride and mom for them to talk, ask mom to give her some advice, or to remember her own wedding, some kind of connection.
You know, I actually filmed a little section about this but cut it because I wasn’t making sense in what I said and didn’t want to re-record. Good tip!
What lens are you using at this point of the wedding day?
Lots of 50, some 24-70
Great information
Glad it's useful!
Got mine last week. Definitely different than I what I was expecting.
Different good or different bad?
I was influenced and I purchased one, lol. However, I'm definitely just a hobbyist that happens to love using cheap lenses to see how much I can get out of them. Back in the day I found mount to fix a dianaF+ lens to an older sony alpha camera and I really loved the results. This is going to bring me back to that so I'm excited about it! Nice to see this review! Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
No PL mount?! 😩 Jk
On their website they said they can only make lenses for mirrorless systems.
@@HowToFilmWed I don’t have a PL mount - I just thought it’d be kind of funny with that lens since PL mount sticks out. The mount would be bigger than the lens probably! Haha. Loved the video, Nick!
Ive seen the ad 20 times. Officially just ordered.
let us know what you think!
Yes this is awesome, was looking forward to seeing this. I was not disappointed :). I think I might try to make my own!
ooo, that could be cool!
Influencer being influenced.. Inception
I love it when I get incepted
Haha that ad got you too? Mine is a glorified camera cap but hey its a REALLY cool concept lol
it is really cool! Glad I picked it up, but it's not going to get used a TON
It got me too 😂 but for $50 why not?
Nick I like ur glasses
why, thank you
Thanks so much for this BTS! It's so helpful to see not only the end results but to hear what you're saying to couples and how you are directing them. I have filmed quite a few weddings but I am always looking to improve so I'm excited to put some of this into practice!
Glad it was helpful!
These reviews are fucking awesome guys! loving it. Great resource.
so glad they're helping you out! That's the goal
nice work! 24-70 and handheld all day?
yes sir! I also had another camera on a gimbal for the wedding day. But this was just a few hours
This is so informative! Do you have tips for those who are mostly shooting solo, but would like to incorporate that 3rd camera?
If you'd like to add a 3rd as a solo shooter you're going to have to find out which angles you want to be unmanned. I would probably have an unmanned camera as a reaction at the front. After the groom gets to the front get that camera locked off. I'd then move and get the up the aisle shot of people walking down. If you want to add in a gimbal as your 3rd I would hold off on adding this until the main part of the ceremony starts. Hope that helps!
I’ve been using three so far and have everything locked off. But I love the idea of a gimbal for you to add that small movement!!I have been wanting to add a process to get more reaction shots from family and guests.
If you can find something that works for you, this would add a lot!
3 cameras is my limit as a solo shooter. I tried 4 as a solo and that’s way too much. This was a great video showing the movement of the 180 line.
I've tried 4 a couple of times - not for me!
this is VERY similar to what we do. Only difference is that we use 4 cameras minimum. Also LOVE that you mentioned that the 180 rule changes once the ceremony actually starts after the processional! Great video!
Thanks! I'm glad to know I'm doing something right 😂 I always wanted to do 4 ceremony angles, but never pulled the trigger on that extra body.
4? That sounds excessive 🤣
As a solo shooter I use 4 cameras. So the bride cam is set up already before the processional. I use the gimbal camera the same way, and it also leaves me with a camera to get reactions of the front row during vows etc.
I've gone back and forth so many times if a 4th camera is worth it. It would be super helpful to have, however I never wanted to spend the extra money on a camera I would use for just a few shots on the ceremony. Love those reaction shots during the ceremony, though.
Interesting that you shoot the ceremony with only 3 cameras. I'm doing 5 right now; two identical bride and groom cameras on opposite sides, a 70-200 straight down the aisle, a wide angle at the back off to the side, and then I fly around with my 24-70. And I've even considered picking up another camera solely just for reactions in the front row. I just want to make sure my couples are getting every angle they could want but sometimes I wonder if I've gone overboard lol. I'm solo too so its a lot to set up by myself (I mic everybody up and get the DJ feed too).
Seems like a lot, but if it works for you - do it! I decided that I wanted to be as minimal during a ceremony where it was possible to get everything that I needed, therefore 3 cameras.
Exactly how did it, until I sold my gimbal. But I might be picking one up again...
Where in the world would you get an idea you don't need a gimbal?? 🤣 Sorry if I contributed to that decision and you regret it.
This video is perfect! I love all the video examples you give and the 180 rule is so helpful
So glad it was helpful!
This is excellent. Thank you for sharing! Now, I'd love to see how you capture a Jewish Ceremony.
That's a great idea, and thank you!
I wish I would have known this info 15 years ago... Great video my dude
Same! Thanks, buddy.
ahhh this is so so helpful! Audio is the thing that always trips me up the most, I just don't know this lingo when I walk up to a DJ, I usually feel like an idiot. So this was super helpful. I don't think I will sounds so dumb when I walk up to them with a bag of cables!
So glad it was helpful!!
“On a boat” count = 1
this made my day! love the vibes. Blake the DRONE PILOT. awesome shots!
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Where is the photog?
There was no photographer for the boat day.
@@HowToFilmWed damn, that's a first! Good for you guys though.
Dad jokes were thriving in this one 💪 Blake saying, "quit turning" with the drone. I felt that, deeply lol
Didn't we all??
I had the best time filming this wedding. Hope the BTS helps!
Well, after I checked out footage from DJI osmo3 with a v-log and mist filter... Sorry, gimbals!
yeah, I ordered the pocket 3 yestereday. doing some youtube content soon on the quality !
@@HowToFilmWed Please, do! We'd be happy to see some real-life scenario comparisons with your work-horse camera. I see only one problem - lack of close-up possibilities...
Remember the ronin m with the separate stand.
oh do I! That thing was a BEAST
I don’t use one. My S5II does more than enough for me. Couple that with stabilization in Final Cut and I’m more than satisfied. I do think ibis technology will render gimbals obsolete at some point. I’m just happy that it is an option and not a necessity in 2024.
I think there will always be a place for gimbals, personally
