Hey everyone, I worked on my first wedding. I'm nearly done with the highlights and would like you to critic the edit (bad shots, bad editing, anything) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR74T6OpNmc Thanks !

Use the actors as production assistants and grip. They won't stay idle.

I'm curious if it's her first music video. Why would you want a music video if you can't stand seeing yourself on a screen ? Good luck dude. But nobody said she needs to be on the video. Shoot other stuff. And here I was thinking of inviting a client in to the edit room. Now I know better than...

I don't understand this card limit. The hacked GH2 outputs a shitload of data and it also uses SDHC cards.

This guy takes 80€/h. https://vimeo.com/davidhjlindberg/videos

Shoot faster. Have foot on set. Include them in the decision-making process. Have a very funny person on set to entertain them ? But seriously, shoot faster. Everything you be ready to shoot when the actors arrive and setting up scenes should take a few minutes.

FYI, it's "c'est". It's a contraction of "ce" (that) and "est"(is). The apostrophe is there because the word "ce" has to be truncated of its "e" because "est" also starts with "e" and it sounds horrible if you prononce both "e"s.

I think he built his own camera-helicopter.

Yes, trough the HDMI output. You'll need to buy a nifty monitor that encodes the footage to ProRes and records it directly on a HDD or SSD. It's called Atomos Ninja. I don't know if there are other ways but this one is expensive.

This is waaaaaay beyond 'shakky' dude..

Not sure that's what he's looking for.

It's actual pictures of screenshots from videos ? Looking good.

You can do directly in programs tailored for "retouching" video, like After Effects. If you really want to do it in Photoshop, you can convert the video to a bunch of pictures (TIFF I think) and go through them one by one. Also, I'd strongly advise to find yourself an editor/colorist to do...

You either have a power source or you don't. You can have a generator. You can use some photovoltaic thing. Maybe use the car's battery. Depending on how long you're staying, sometimes the best solution is simply to buy another pair of batteries.

The GH2 has a very high bitrate. You can try all day, you won't get the same image quality with a Rebel. That doesn't mean you can get nice footage from a Rebel. Go with a GH2. I'll do that as soon as I get the opportunity to update the whole workflow.

I'm thinking about my feature debut and I wondered the same question. What I hate in movies is when everybody speaks a langage they are not supposed to speak. Arab terrorist speaking english with his Arab colleague in an Arabe country (happens every single time, like in lost). Asian guy...

You can believe whatever you want. But whoever you are, your first productions are bound to be crappy because you'll run into problems for the first time ever and you'll have no experience on how to handle them. The very first time I took people to shoot something, the Sound part went very...

Grad ND filter is the must get for me. I hate white skies.

Great job. Great cinematography. Exquisite lighting. Very nice blog. And delicious behind the scenes. Tell us if you have more like these !

I would expect my first film to be utter crap and try not to involve as less people as possible. I don't want people to see me failing and making mistakes (which will happen, even more on a first shoot). Have you shown that little teaser to these people ? If yes, they know exactly what they're...
