Wedding video (highlight video) - STOCK DVX-100

Looked really good to me...seemed to capture the scene well. My only real complaint is that the camera bobs around too much in the beginning.

Good job!
 
Too shaky. Where's your tripod? or at least a monopod?

It looked alright for the slow mo montage, but what about the ceremony in it's entirety, in real time?

All I know is that if my guys brought me footage like that, I'd dock thier pay.

Editing looked pretty good, though, and as stated above me, nice job "captureing the scene" during the reception.

Well... yeah, I hate tripod because I cannot move around the place with them, I need some kind of stabilizer for the camera that allows me to move around as well... Dude, the footage is REALLY that bad that you'd dock pay!? I find that hard to swallow dude... Anyway... thanks for watching.
 
Being zoomed in that much, I'd probably turn on OIS and/or get some sort of tripod/monopod.

That's my next purchase.

I would agree with the shakiness of the shots because it's very distracting. It seems home video-ish. Check out this video from a member on the forum

Now that is some incredibly snappy editing. Wow. If that video looks that good and that clip is only 3 minutes long, I can't imagine how much time it took for him/her to edit the entire thing. This 3 minutes must have taken hours.

Excellent stuff.

PS Briceman, I'm on my work computer. It doesn't have quicktime. But, I plan on checking you clip out a little later on!

I wouldn't spend too much on one. I've used them from the $20 range, to the $100 range, and there's minimal differences.

Some of the Bogan's have a grip handle that allows the bottom to drop out quickly, and that can definitely come in handy... but you can get by without it.

Didn't mean to offend on my last post, just speaking what I saw. Like I said, it looked OK for the montage, but I can't imagine trying to edit the entire ceremony with those shakes in there. It would take me forever to cover up all the shake's with other footage, and that's why I'd dock my cameraman... because it would take me twice the time to edit, and as the saying goes, time is money. I try to edit a complete wedding (cer, recep, two montage's) in about a 5-7 days. When I get shaky footage from my camera guys, that 5-7 days can easily turn into 11-14 days, and I'm missing out on 4-5 hundred bucks for the time lost.

I'll post a quick clip of my most recent ceremony tonight to show you what I mean.
 
Cool... yeah, check my thread with the scene from the kids film I shot last weekend... thats more of what I like to do... just doing the wedding for a friend :)

I have a Manfroto monopod that works great! You can pan with it, tilt, and still have good mobility. I have to agree with the others, It's a little shakey and could have used some more planned out and more elegant shots in the beginning of the flowers and such. I've shot weddings for the past 5 years on the side for friends to make a few bucks and have really learned how to use handheld to my advantage. There's a time and a place. But we all have to start somewhere. A good first start. Heck when I started I was using a Digital 8. PUKE! You have a nice piece of equipment to start.
 
Looks good, man. Considering you were handheld at full tele, the bobbing could've been much worse. Your music choices were dead on. They fit really well.
 
Brandon, would like to check out your video

I know it is an old link but would love to see your editing.

I am looking at a varizoom from b&h. It is a handheld stabilizer/monopod. you can drop the bottom out to use it as a monopod. and you can use it upside down too.
