Matt WhoisMatt Johnson Wonderful series of videos! Thank you so much. I definitely learned a lot!

That tip about following them after the reception is money! Thanks for sharing your secrets

It's amazing you could get the 2 angles from the side, reaction shots, and then them down the aisle with just 2 of you! I've done a few weddings and I still struggle the most with the ceremony because of how fast pace (and random) it could be.

Definitely learned a lot from part-1 through 3, really awesome seeing all the detail and process that goes into filming weddings. You guys are awesome!!!

dude, i love this series - seriously its helping me feel way more prepared for an upcoming wedding shoot. thank you so much for creating this. You sir have made an impact :D

This is an amazing video Matt, its amazing to see you work and the way you are with people. No wonder the final video is too fantastic. Love it

Thanks for these videos Matt! I have my first wedding next month so trying to get as much planning in as possible! Excited but the ceremony is the bit that has me the most nervous!!

Thank you so much for this! I’m set to shoot my first wedding and these videos have helped a ton! 🙏🏾

The final video of the couple was beyond awesome! You guys rock!!

these BTS videos are insanely helpful!

I always love this style of "pov day of" videos. they're so packed with great information. I love seeing the through process of different people handling the same situation in different ways and getting great results. and watching people problem solve in the moment.

Matt, thank you so much for all of the videos you have posted. You have absolutely no idea how helpful all of them are, and you're awesome at what you do. I aspire to be as great and knowledgable as you. You have prepared me for my first wedding. Again, thank you!!

Hey Matt, I found this video very helpful. I wondered, though, how important (or rather, unimportant) it is for you to break that 180 degree rule while filming the ceremony. Some of your Glidecam shots with the Sigma 50mm were taken from behind the bridal line, while Rachel’s and the Sony FS100 static cameras are positioned in front.

Hey Matt! Love this video! Do you have or are you planning on making a video about filming a ceremony as a single shooter? Ceremony is my biggest struggle

@tessamitan

6 жыл бұрын

Same! I use a 70-300mm lens for the whole ceremony. As the bridal party enters I try to get shots of the groom. For the beginning, I'm up at the front to get the bride walking down the aisle. I try to switch around to the groom, but (depending on the setup) at 70mm focal length I usually get an extreme closeup that isn't super usable. From there I walk around the edges and behind them while being mindful of when the important parts are happening. Then, I'm at the back for the kiss and exit. My deliverable is a 5-6min highlight film, so it works for that. In no way would I be able to deliver a full ceremony cut. Long term I want to buy a B camera and have a stable tripod shot throughout. There's probably a better way to go about it, but that's what I've figured so far. Hopefully that was at least somewhat helpful!

I’ve shot second shooter for my husband for years at weddings, when we did mostly photography he mostly used his shots, very rarely used mine. What I shot was mostly insurance to make sure we didn’t miss important ceremony moments, like the first kiss or look. Now that we’ve moved away from wedding photography and into videography, he uses the majority of my shots now. It seems I pick up on things that the bride would appreciate and I’m apparently the queen of interviews, and asking emotional questions. Muahahaha! Lol Loving your channel.

I am guessing that having a cooperative photographer is key. I can see where the photographer would also want to have prime access for when they are walking down the aisle and could get in the way

I've always been taught to have at least one shot down the middle and the second camera at least on the bride. But I actually really like the look at the footage with two coming in at angles. And this setup you had two Shooters and four cameras, what would you do if you had two cameras for one videographer? Would you still have two at the sides coming in at an angle, or one down the center and one at an angle?

it's very awesome

Hey Matt! Do you use on-camera mics when shooting the couple getting ready and walking in the field? I shoot with a Rode Pro mounted on top of my camera but when I have it on my gimble it gets annoying, esp if I want to get low angles.

Matt, My wife and I are extremely thankful for your wedding filmmaker tutorials. You have truly changed the way we shoot weddings! Now to my question, have you figured out a way to combat the way the Sony A7s II names it's video files? Depending on the number of A7s II's we have, I could have 2-5 clips with the same name of C0001.mp4. It seems counterintuitive to have the camera start back at 1 every time you format a card. I have it set on Series and not Reset, so I am not sure if I may be missing something? It would be extremely helpful if it continued the file numbering system even with a fresh card. Thanks in advance, and keep up the amazing videos!

@whoismatt

Thanks so much Kyle! I get around this by copying all my video files into separate folders. So I'll have one folder "A7Sii card 1" and another "a7sii card 2". I import everything into Premiere and organize it by who shot it. I don't believe there is an option in camera to make the file numbers sequential otherwise, unfortunately.

Hi Matt, love your work, totally inspiring. Just a quick question when you make a wedding movie is it the highlights we see that you are creating (i.e. 5 minute movie) or do you generally produce a longer version of the wedding too. if so how long does your Wedding productions run for? thanks

Absolutely loving your channel, just stumbled on it, while researching/prepping for a few travel videos I'm making in the near future. So cool to see how other videographer's go about their day. I have a couple quick questions, if you don't mind. If you do, then I'll just unsub, cry and then move on, but if you find the time, then awesome! 1. Do you find during the Ceremony (walking down the isle with the bride and her father), that the photographer's typically dislike that? 2. When placing the lav's on the inner coat (I usually leave them on the outer), do you find you have to edit out a lot of rubbing on the mic, or do the cover's counter-act that? 3. How often do bride's and groom's typically order a Ceremony Video down the road? Cheers and thanks for all the great info! You deserve a lot more subs than you have!

Great video man. Question, did you provide the sparklers for the wedding sendoff or did they? If you did, can you link where?
