Some wedding stuff.

Hey all I'm a long time lurker and can't tell you how much I've learned on these boards. I've been shooting weddings since last year using a Panny DVC-Pro and I'm finally moving into my first 24p wedding on June 19th. I dropped a few samples of older work (pre 24p) on my site for you all to check out.

I know people who won't go 24p because of slow-mo issues, but you can get by as long as you know what can be slowed down. During my testing stages I noticed that locked down shots are almost acceptable at 58% (Vegas) and I've also had luck with a few tracking shots too! Basically my advice is for anyone wanting to shoot 24p weddings is to go for it, but be sure to shoot enough footage. Slow down want you want and preview it. If it doesn't sit well then come up with something creative. That's what makes us good editors.

Take a look at my sample Gone in the Blink of an Eye. I can't wait until I cut one of those together with 24p footage.  

I'm also going to put up a demo I sent out to a couple in Florida who wants their entire wedding package edited to TOOL! The demo is quite awesome and actually has 24p footage in it.

Re: Some wedding stuff.

I just did my first wedding last week... what a brutal experience there must have been 100 cameras in the place everbody jockeying for postion.. and i was the Videographer... got some really good earthquake shots(thanks to those who pushed me) but a good learning experience.. i will have 2 cameras next time. and wireless mics... :)

are you using more than 1 camera? wireless mics?

any way i said all that to say your samples look real nice.. But i think your pricing is way LOW i dont know about Bethal Park but here in jax FL for your style of deluxe package I would charge at least 3 to 4 k and get it .... I've seen people charge more for lesser quality work. just do a google search..

loved disco stu :) also the chapter idea is pretty cool....(think I will steal your idea if thats ok with you since where a few hundred miles apart :) I gotta due some serious post on some of my eartquake shots the chapter thing gives me i deas.

Good filming sir keep it up....
 
Re: Some wedding stuff.

I use one camera and a wireless on the groom. I know I can get more for my packages, but up here the prices are really high and it's hard to find quality for 1200.00. I haven't had anyone take a lower package yet and I've brought in close to 7000.00 in bookings this year so far. I wish you luck and hope to see some of your stuff posted soon!

I'm revamping the site so I can get my TOOL demo up. Should be up sometime next week.
