I really appreciate this message man! I for sure will start making videos again, and will also run everyone through the new process I use with my GH5.

Please make more!

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kindness

@@edwardwmills you are very welcome :)

SPOORTI STUDIO 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you! I'm not going to lie, to a certain extent at least, gear can definitely improve the quality of your work. But, yes you're right, experience is wayyy more important!

True indeed, but after seeing that Video and what that camera can do with proper handling I’m certain that getting it for a beginner like myself would be the best move....Beautiful wedding and thanks once again for sharing

@@bmn6283 I appreciate it, and best of luck to you!

ty! srry for the year late reply but yes I used the DJI Ronin S gimbal

Good for you man, hope it serves you well!

thank you :)

I have a 250d too... did you recorder 4k or 1080p

@@july2626 1080 p, this camera didn’t have 4k

hey, sorry for the late reply but ty for the kind words. sorry that i never got around to making a tutorial on how i made this video. probably the biggest tip i can give for using a 50mm is knowing how far you have to stand away from your subject to get the desired framing in camera. that way, you won't have to think about it, and potentially miss any moments

Thank you!

Appreciate it 🙏🏽

Thanks you!

thank you so much!

thank you! glad you enjoyed it

honestly a lot of luck is involved if you rely on AF. for some shots, like the scene in the chapel, i used AF to get the image focused, then switched to MF to keep it there. for shots that i could just take again if i wasn’t satisfied with it, i just used AF. if you are skilled with MF, and you are in a situation where you only have 1 chance to get the shot, i’d recommend using MF. if you can simply retake the shot if its not sharp, then you can use AF. hope this helps :)

Alex Henke thank you brother

If I ever make one, I’d be conflicted. I think I could do a much better job now, but I also wouldn’t want to change the look because a lot of people ask for this specific one.

PSDesign 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I appreciate that mate!

thanks brother

Alfredo Bullen I appreciate it man!

im srry for being so late 🤣 but yes! the only big limitation you need to look out for is the camera’s low light performance. as long as you avoid shooting in dark settings ( or bring adequate lighting ) you should be fine :)

you’re right, it was a 50mm on a crop sensor, so in really the image is a bit larger than a true 50mm. Also, yes I think I was a 75-200mm inside the chapel because I didn’t want to disturb the ceremony, so I stayed in the back to get those shots. Other than that, I believe I used the 50mm

you’re right, it was a 50mm on a crop sensor, so in reality the image is a bit more compressed than a true 50mm.

Appreciate it 👌🏽

thank youuu!

Thanks!

I used an 18-55 mm kit lens for all of the wider angle shots :)

GoldyfunLox awesome! Hope you enjoy it!

thank you!

Thank you so much man! I will!

The Tiny Traveler I mainly just had to back up a lot more than usual. Of course the compression wasn’t exactly the same as if I were shooting with a 24mm per se, but it was good enough. Also, mixing in medium and tight angles made my “wide” shots seems more wide than it actually was

No 🥲

thank you! i used premiere pro for this but i now use davinci resolve

Thank you! sorry for the late reply but I used a gimbal, I don't believe the lenses I used had IS so especially with the longer lens, it was a necessity to get stable shots. Hope this helps

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks mate!

thank you cheif

For starters, be sure you're familiar with your camera's settings. try to adjust them as soon as you enter a new environment so that you can focus on capturing precious moments. Also, test out some angles. One move with the ronin s that I really like doing is walking around an object while keeping it in the centre of the frame, essentially a slow pan. I did this a lot of times, you can as well. Next, if you know an important moment is coming up, play it safe. You don't want to miss moments like the infamous "you may kiss the bride" scene. Lastly, this first wedding is your practice. You have to start somewhere, feeling unprepared for something like this is natural, I did so myself, just unstand that you are 10x better than what you may think you are right now, in the eyes of whoever hired you. Take that confidence to the wedding and crush it! Hope this helped!

@@edwardwmills Did you film this weeding alone ? Is this the principal video or just a teaser ? Did you film in c log or cinestyle profile ? I`m at the same situation like gnarle, i have a 250d and only a 18 35 sigma art 1.8, and a weebill s, i`m feeling confident, but film alone make me feel a little nervous, if you have some advice, i thank a lot. Good job !

@@luismendesfilms This was the actual wedding video. And yeah, I filmed this alone. I shot in cinestyle. As for advice, being nervous is normal, I was extremely nervous as well. What helps with that is telling yourself that you were asked to filmed because they liked your work/are confident in your ability to do a good job. Make sure you have multiple batteries and bring your charger. Whenever you have downtime, charge them if possible. Also bring multiple SD cards just in case you’re unlucky and one decides to stop working. For the actual filming, try to give yourself options when editing so film a close up, a medium, and far shot when you are just filming decorations and location. Also switch the angles up. When it comes to the more important shots, like during the actual ceremony, it is best to just be safe and get basic shots. You wouldn’t want to miss those. Lastly, when you’re filming people, always expose for them, it is better to have a blown out background and correctly exposed people than the other way around. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions just let me know.

@@edwardwmills Thanxs a lot. So much valious advice !!

Shahal FR I shot at 125 shutter, 800 iso, and used a 50mm f/1.8 lensfor all indoor shot except the ceremony itself. The chapel was fairly well lit, so that I used the same shutter and iso, but switched to a 70-300mm kit lens.

😂😂😂

I can’t recall, however i did use manual for a few shots that had no people within the frame

Thanks bro! Means a lot

Looking forward for more videos like this. Godbless

At the time i was using adobe premiere pro. There’s a setting called “optical flow” (I might be wrong about the name). It allows you to slow footage down lower than usual, without it looking choppy. I’m sure there are several tutorials on how to achieve the same effect here on youtube :)

Hermit620 thanks man, you’ll get the hang of it just keep filming!

I hope it works well for you! If you want to be able to make clips slow motion, then shoot at 60 fps and 1/120 shutter speed. If you know that won’t want any slow motion clips then shoot at 24 fps and use 1/50 shutter speed.

i don't remember exactly, but i think there are some shots i used a kit lens for

Thank you very much! I used the DJI Ronin - S gimbal for every single shot

If Sa if I can convince someone to stand next to me for 10 hrs next time haha

thanks! yes, I used a gimbal

Im my opinion yes, you can something just like this or something even better with the m50

Thanks my guy 🙏🏽

Mezangkori My picture profile was set to CineStyle, Neutral would work as well. Shutter speed at 1/125, 60 fps, iso @ 100 to 800 max, daylight white balance (however this depends on your particular scenario).

@@edwardwmills you're a lifesaver. Thank you!

thanks !

Much appreciated mate!

Thank you bro! Cheers!

yes, it's called the dji ronin s i believe

The DJI Ronin S

Brandon Fentress i shot the entire film in 60 fps

thanks compadre

I used f/1.8 for the entire film, coupled with an ND filter
