And yes, this means I have another wedding behind the scenes series! This one will be a bit different though; instead of filming one massive BTS, this one will be split up into smaller topics like this one.

@jnfweddings9566 3 года назад

Hey Matt long time listener first tim caller when you were fliming the bride walking were you using auto focus? Love the videos too learned alot

@WalterWeberfilms 6 лет назад

Bro, you deserve so much more views and subs! Why do you shoot on F8? Is it because you can't focus on the glidecam with your sony and lens?

@MaxwellAdventuress 11 месяцев назад

Awesome job Matt, although 5 years ago, I’m just seeing this, but just started doing weddings this year. I’m watching tons of your content and fully subbed in.

@NickFoxer 2 года назад

Hey Matt I've heard you say you prefer to shoot in 24fps when capturing audio (for obvious reasons), curious why you captured audio but had both cameras filming in 60fps

@FranciscoAlvarezTV 9 месяцев назад

So this can actually be done by ONE person, just panning around and moving around as well. Gotcha!

@carlotavarez3504 6 лет назад

Hi matt, I noticed that you recorded the whole first look at 60 fps with sound, why?? is not a problem to have a 60 fps clip (without interpreing to 24) in your 24fps timeline??

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

It’s not a huge issue. It won’t look as smooth as 24fps but that isn’t a big deal.

@aaronchapman4858 6 лет назад

most my grooms only tend to pull a small smerk when they see their brides... lol sooooooo relaxed over here in Australia !!

@MichelleCoxPhotography 6 лет назад

Love this video. I think a lot of photographers and videographers don't know how to make first looks... or set those up... so good topic!

@capitulo1724 5 лет назад

Amazing work!! How do you get around the 30 minute recording limit on the a7sii? I'm looking into buying the same camera.

@3xilelast 6 лет назад

I thought I heard somewhere that usually would ask photographers to let you shoot the first look first, before the photographers stage or pose the couple separately? did I make that up ? maybe I did.... any thoughts on this topic?

@ClaudiaGoodwin 4 года назад

My future husband better react like this 😂

@jameskrick9101 6 лет назад

Incredible informational content as always, Matt! If you have a chance to check out my most recent film, I would love to hear some critiques and feedback! I can reach out via your website too, Thanks for all the information you share!

@videoboda 6 лет назад

I love your videos!

@local9 3 года назад

How? How do you do it, how does one contain their empathy! I've always wondered if there has been a moment where the videographer or photographer has been caught up in the emotions of the bride and groom. Do you have one that you remember? Maybe something for a question video?

@valladares9045 6 лет назад

HI AWESOME VIDEO< YOU STOP USING THE GH5 ??? IF YOU DID WHY?? I WANT TO BUY OR A A7III OR GH5 TO SHOOT VIDEO AND I DONT KNOW ! THANKS AWESOME CHANNEL

@michaelvanarey8013 5 лет назад

Great video Matt. I noticed that you shot this scene with two shooters. Can you give some insight to how you would shoot it with just one shooter? Good to know how you would place the Glidecam behind the bride and the monopod tight shot on the Groome on other side. Thanks!

@arhauz9719 Год назад

hello matt, i saw the settings at time stamp 5:01, at 60fps...were there no audio vido sync issue?

@DwayneNavales 6 лет назад

This is awesome and touching. Matt, question, is the "Tascam DR-10L Digital Audio Recorder with Lavalier Microphone" is as good as the Zoom recorder?

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

I like it much better. The zoom h4n works well for certain audio recording though.

@jennamichelephotography5137 3 года назад

Great channel, super helpful. Thanks for making these

@IamMediaUK 6 лет назад

That photographer 😐 Way too close! Bet it was 35mm prime

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

Haha, actually he was on a 24mm like me. 😉 He’s a good friend and I didn’t mind him being that close. We both got the shots we needed.

@momustafa321 6 лет назад

@segura455 Год назад

i am shooing mt first look this Saturday i am scared

@edwindrg 6 лет назад

Awesome the way you broke it down to how you direct the talent and how you give them their space, how you record with multiple angles and the MICing up as well as the shot on the lower right with the camera settings. Didn't know the wide shot would be at f/8 but it makes sense since it's on a gimbal and handheld at f/5.6 to get some of the blurred background. Excellent moment capture! Do you use ND filters since it's outside?

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

Yup, we both us ND filters usually. For this we didn’t need to because we were shooting at 60fps though.

@IfflaMedia Год назад

so hold on....i i thought beleive for past 10 years, the first look was her walking down the aisle during ceromony? 4 years late on this video...but doesnt hurt to learn

@jasmineknutti6605 6 лет назад

Oh my gosh 💖 I cried too so emotional!

@Andrew-ne4bx 6 лет назад

Did you end up leaving the footage as 60 fps in a 24 fps timeline because the audio turned out well? I guess I'm a little confused how you planned to use the audio when shooting 60 fps.

@MichaelSmith-nh9zc 6 лет назад

Andrew Thayer I was wondering the same. The sync turned out well, doesn’t appear to be slowed down if it was. and why does your 60fps footage not look like home video garbage like mine? 😂

@vladyslavshypulin1670 6 лет назад

How are you shoot toasts?

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

Definitely will cover that in a future video!

@OlegKorzun 6 лет назад

Great video, many thanks for generously sharing your expertise with us!

@dnadesignco 6 лет назад

You mentioned in a previous video - filming at 24fps if audio is being used. You filmed this first look at 60fps for the slow motion effect. What if you ended up capturing some phenomenal audio moment in that reveal? How would you work it into your 24fps timeline if needed?

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

Hey! You can see how the audio turned out in the full wedding video (linked in the video description). Part of me does wish I had shot the first look at 24fps because of the audio, but in this case I was more interested in being able to make the shot slow motion if I needed to.

@dnadesignco 6 лет назад

Matt WhoisMatt Johnson Awesome A thanks for taking the time to write. I noticed hiding some of of the clips behind B-roll made it great too!!

@henrydick3986 4 года назад

love your colors. do you grade ist or is it out of a magic cam?

@TheAaronalden 6 лет назад

Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge! Theoretically, would you still use MattFlat on an a7iii, and do you think when the a7s iii comes out it will make tacos?

@pablomaresca 6 лет назад

Fantastic as always, Matt. I always enjoy your videos. So simple, so useful.

@Gabyregia 6 лет назад

I want to be as good as you when I grow older, oh wait, I'm older!! Awesome work Matt.

@marvinmuendelein567 6 лет назад

Hi Matt. Do you still use Cine 4 as your favored PP on your sony? Dynamic Range looks amazing.

@MillennialsReppingCulture 3 года назад

He’s balling 😭❤️

@HiSpeedz 6 лет назад

Awesome video! Be cool to see a video on how you direct the couple during the first look!

@dushicuracaodiving1697 6 лет назад

Good stuff! Any tips on fixing glidecam sway?

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

Hey! It shouldn’t be swaying if you have it balanced properly.

@MachSpeedSportsMedia 6 лет назад

@christianrogers9536 6 лет назад

Thank you so much bro!

@stephens0077 6 лет назад

Wow the photographer barely gave you any room, great tutorial though.

@whoismatt 6 лет назад

Nahhhh, we had plenty of room. I’m glad they were so close, it enabled me to get super close too without worrying about being in their shot. Worked out well. :)
