- This wedding was different in every way for us. This was the first real documentary approach and I had a team of 4 filmmakers. We film our weddings with the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera 6k Pro (bmpcc 6k pro) and Ursa Mini Pro 4.6k G2. The pocket 6k Pro is a workhorse especially for weddings. This vlog shows alot of my preshoot planning, directing, and working with the photographer. As always, any questions please leave them in the comments below.

What do y’all think about the notes I made throughout the video?
They are great!
@@sebastiankvasnak3527 dope! When I was watching it back, I naturally had questions and it was me haha. Thought it was a nice touch to add.
I really appreciate the notes, they clear questions that may come up throughout the video. As always man, great great job dude. Greetings from Tegucigalpa, Honduras
@@ottoespinalxx oh awesome! That’s exactly what I hoped they would do. Especially because I don’t usually talk to the camera during these videos. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@JustinPorterMedia yeah man keep it up! This is just starting brother 🙏🏼🏆
In a couple of years this is going to be a style everyone wants and it’s all your creation 💪🏻
🥺🥺🥺 that just sounds so crazy in my mind lol. I love it. I hope I can do a good job teaching it because it’s so dope to do.
He is right 100%, this will be the industry standard / is already becoming an industry standard@@JustinPorterMedia
Interacting the way you do with people... success guaranteed !!! Thanks to your patience and ways to approach with kindness and fun, they quickly understand doing what you want will not ask them any effort, and it's all for the "stars of the day".
No matter the pressure, you manage to stay in your flow, and that really is a lesson for all to see. During my years as a sports photographer, I remember those moments when you have to stay in a no-matter-what state of mind. The only time I failed was when my pilot managed to miss the right turn to the finish line and crashed the motorcycle to the asphalt. Still today I can recall how heavy the thing was, and how worry was I for my gear and my images. Aside from this very "special" moment, I never lost my temper. And this is what I see in your way of working, but also the way you manage your team. All your guys adjust to your pace, it's a sign... they all get it your way, they all move toward the same goal just like bees.
Great work, great BTS (kudos to your backstage guy, he nailed it !), great educational content.
Merci du Sud de la France. ✋🙂
Thank you so much! That truly means so much to hear. I always feel the communication is how the train moves lol. I love that you pointed out some of those things. I think it’s huge in being successful as a filmmaker regardless of the niche. Thank you so much again for the support!
I can’t believe you giving this game for free. Just know you’ve inspired me to be the next YOU in Kentucky on gawd. And the notes was the best part for us people learning. Thank you again 🙏🏾!
Yoo lets gooo🔥🔥 thanks so much man truly appreciate the support.
This is next level wedding videography! And love the bts!
I truly appreciate you! Making it a thing to do more of these.
MAAAAAAAAAN!!! Great job on this. This shows how amazing you are to work with. You and Conner made my day working with y’all at the Odessa Marriott so much easier! I don’t get many videographers/cinematographers that are as knowledgeable or as professional as you are. You were prepared and had all the audio equipment that was necessary to plug into my DJ system to get audio for the reception. Lol not to mention you came in hot with your personality and fit right in with me, the wedding party, and all of the guests. Great job again bud, and thanks for shooting this and showing us all the behind the scenes look for getting quality wedding films.
Yoo! Thanks so much man seriously. This means so much and it was awesome working with you too. My boy had mad dance moves out there 😂🔥
Thanks for watching and the support bro!
I saw you on TikTok feeling out on live and I was so fascinated and happy to see a Black Filmmaker so passionate in the things he does, and fascinating Gadgets you have! They look so sparkly to me. I don't see that many Black, techy filmmakers, and you're definitely inspirational. Subscribed/Followed to all 3 of your accounts.
Hey I truly appreciate the support. I love the community that it’s building. Blessed to have you apart of it!
Justin, it's outstanding how fluid is your interactions with people, how you manage your team, how everything seems going easy, i couldn't feel any pressure, that's crazy bro ! Such a lesson here. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Paris.
Just seeing this comment! Thanks so much though Simon! Means the world. It really is a smooth shoot even with so many moving parts. Communication is key though. Being open and explaining your process with everyone you know.
0:08, 9:08, 13:05 what can I say... he's giving everything... I personally haven't used Ursa G2 setup and my heaviest set up was movi, komodo, ultra prime, 7" monitor, FF, mattebox, etc added up that's less than 10kg. To me that setup was really heavy to operate for whole day shoot, can't imagine how you are pulling off on every wedding shoots. All do respect boss!
Thanks so much man! I will say hands down the easyrig made this setup the easiest to run with. Now I use the RS2 instead of the crane and that made the gimbal setup 100times easier lol
Man you were made for this. I instantly subscribed! You made everything seem so easy even though we know it's not. Awesome job!
So cool to get an insight into your full process, man! Really interesting to see how other videographers approach such important days for the couple...
I've watched this video so many times because I love your setup so much. I live in an area where getting a second shooter is nearly impossible. If I can pull off great setups like this, it'll bloom into something new for us. Also as a sound guy, I ultimately appreciate the hard work you've put into your sound setup, especially timecode. I also agree with some of the comments that people will want this type of wedding video in the future, and you are the creator. More behind the scenes, please.
I definitely need to bring more bts. Soon for sure. Thanks so much for the support.
I love that you notice the love we put into the sound kit haha. I dropped a new sound bag video that you’ll love. I just can’t substitute pristine audio lol.
I’ve been to many weddings and funerals, some had professional photographers maybe two or three. I don’t recall seeing the videographers. Mainly family members record the videos. This is next level sir, what you’re doing. Capturing memories. I wish I had this at mine.
This was hilarious! This man is not only charismatic through the roof, but professional as hell! I hate shooting weddings but I may give it another shot after seeing this.
Haha I love this. Thanks so much for watching! 🔥🔥❤️
This is dope man! im just getting started in the wedding scene but this is how I imagine my flow is cinematic with some Docu-style elements...definitely going to gleam all I can from your uploads man!
Thanks so much man. I really appreciate it. The documentary approach is amazing. Truly helps you tell an authentic story.
Wow. It’s literally all I can say. But if I had to elaborate this bts is top tier bts ever made. Beyond helpful in many ways to anyone of any level in filmmaking. The notes throughout the video was the icing on the cake as if the cake wasn’t enough already. Thank you very much for this and the work you put in for it!
I really appreciate it. Thanks so much for watching and the comment. Glad the notes are helpful too.
Wow man, as a semi-pro videographer, I learned SO MUCH from this, love it! Loving your passion and the comprehensive approach to it and that you really go for it to create as deep experience for the couple as possible, not just filming something and recording reactions, but really interacting with the ppl your are filming and having guts to do whats necessary for you to get the best shot possible! Awesome! Keep doing your things guys!
this means a lot. I truly appreciate it. That’s somewhat what it’s all about. A lot of settings can have a few slight twists and the shots would be so much better. Sometimes it’s possible, others it’s not but I always try my best to get it to work.
I just finished filming a sweet sixteen. a lot of my shots came from you. it's not a wedding but the concept can by used. love it.
Oh that’s so dope. Glad to hear that. Send me the video on IG when you’re done.
I respect the hell out of this. Dude knows what he wants.
Awesome BTS and insights!!! Keep up the great work Justin!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support! ❤️
Perfection to 100%!!
The notes bring it all full circle and are helpful even if you know exactly why you are doing certain things . Great video bro JUST 🔥
Someone once told me to “document all of this for my future self” just want to say they were spot on 🔥❤️
Thanks bro haha
dude i could watch this all day
The amount of effort you put into audio is next level. Loved seeing that.
Thanks so much! Audio is so stressful on weddings especially with women lol. Most important thing for the films though
I love your style of directing. Well done J
outstanding bro! bravo! very real situations shooting weddings. Having multiple shooters is everything!
Thanks so much. It really is. Makes the day so much easier to. Capture
Great video! Loved seeing this
This was lit. Nice to see the master at work. Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing some good tips!!
Thanks so much. Also glad you found the notes helpful. I think I’ll do that in all the bts videos moving forward.
This is insane. Thank you for sharing!!!
Of course! Thank you for watching 🔥🙌🏾
Cool! Rich client, great job! Looking forward to the wedding video!
This one will be so good! Can’t wait!
this is everything bruh, you are a whole animal!!! also, those shallow DOF bts shots are life!!
Thanks so much! My boy filled those with the a7siii and an 85mm lens
This is awesome! Loving the BTS content.
Thanks so much. Really want to make these more often.
Simply amazing setup, wish one day I could capture like this.
Okay first off this is dope. I really like this style. Definitely willing to learn this.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support. Can’t wait to keep making content about it!
Justin you are so talented at what you do, also your leadership skills are incredible!!! I can’t wait to see your channel at 100k subscribers and beyond!!! Keep killing it dog
Thank you so much! I can’t even imagine 100K 🥹🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@JustinPorterMedia Only a matter of time brother!!!
Amazing job.
love the video. love the bts of how u think about the shots. woud love to hear the convo while filming and how you are positioning the guys. keep it up!
Thanks so much! I plan to do another bts soon and will 100% implement this. Thanks for watching 🙌🏾❤️
love the bts! sir😍😍😍
I do wedding videography and I’m blown away by your production level! 😳
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks so much! It’s a lot for sure but my ideas for where I want to take my films need it lol. Thanks for watching 🙌🏾
Amazing set up! Only thing I will say. I find on wedding days the larger the rig the more intimidating it might come off to some couples! But man! You guys are killing it!
This is some next-level stuff!!!! You making my films look amature. Give us some time to catch up. hahaha! Great stuff, Justin! Love it!
Haha man I truly appreciate the compliment. Thanks so much for the support. I’m following your journey as well 🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥
I learned so much from this video. This was incredibly valuable. I love the approach, this really gives it more of a film/movie vibe than your stereotypical wedding film.
Thanks so much! Im so glad you found it valuable. 🥹🙌🏾
@@JustinPorterMedia bro, I’m so surprised you don’t have more subscribers. This is insane stuff!!! Can’t wait to see where you’re at in a year, I’m a fan!! Thanks for putting out valuable and great content.
@@francisxayana haha it’s been a slow and steady growth that I’m humble for. Thanks for your support and can’t wait to keep putting out more content. 🔥🔥🔥
love this brother ♥️
wish you all the best much loves ♥️
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you so much!
Dope content bro! Look forward to your videos
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support 🔥🔥
Badass video!
Came over from a Tik Tok I saw and wanted to say this is way overkill for wedding videos, too many cameras and overkill gear...
Then I saw how you actually implement everything and I totally get it now. This is top notch!
Also that light stand hack is amazing
Haha that’s so awesome. That’s why I love the bts. It shows what the chaos is for lol. Thanks for the support. I will agree, it is overkill for weddings though haha.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m ready to see more! Too soon? 😂
I’d like to see more bts of your wedding and interview setups!
Haha never too soon 🔥🔥
I am planning to get another one out next month 🙌🏾
New subscriber here, new to wedding videography as well. Love your content, it’s refreshing. Lots to learn here. Thanks for filming & sharing! 🙏👍🥰
Hey! Thanks so much for the support and welcome to the wedding film industry! If you ever have questions feel free to drop them on any video or shoot me a dm on IG! Blessings to you! 🙌🏾🔥
This was for real! Just can't believe someone volunteered to let you into their wedding )
This was very insightful and it’s helping me a lot with what to do filming my own wedding day videos to improve! Appreciate you for this and keep it up💪🏽🔥
Thanks so much man! Definitely glad it helps. Is there anything specific you wished I’d show more of or include?
@@JustinPorterMedia you’re welcome! For me I’d say more on the audio side of things and your gimbal set up would be cool to learn more on since I’m trying to find a gimbal rig that works for smooth shots.
Also maybe a video on your editing thought process or game plan from filming to editing!
@@thejamalmartin oh got you. I can definitely do that in the next one. I plan to do an editing breakdown of the Jillian and Gabriel’s film. I did a lot of sound design and mixing that could be helpful.
Love it man!
Thank you so much!
Your notes are UNMATCHED ! As a film student who’s genuinely considering leaving school Can you do a video on your journey and HOW you came into videography??
I think if you can afford film school it’s amazing for the community and network you get to build. I definitely think a video on my full journey will be cool to do. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Asking the man if he’s freeballin today 😅
Tell me you have personal relationships with your clients without telling me. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 this family I filmed interviews and stuff with so I was a lot more comfortable than usual haha. Most weddings I do cut up naturally though haha. Always playing it by ear 😂
@@anubisai haha it’s honestly the best way. Make a 15 minute ordeal only 3 minutes by knocking it out yourself haha. Thanks so much for watching 🙌🏾
The best
Great video! Thank you so much! May I ask which model is the link between the mini max stabel and the Ursa? Are those Tilta extra handles on the Crane3s Pro for follow focus and Irix 30mm cine lens on it?
Was great working on this with you!
Definitely couldn’t have made it happen without you bro. Thanks so much. 🔥
Really appreciate a look into how you work! I really do think you are out growing weddings, in a good way, though.
Thanks so much man. I honestly feel like I have outgrown the traditional style of weddings. I want to make real documentaries from the couples I film with. The creative spark it gives me and joy is much greater than just filming weddings. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great video!!! If you can only take one lens to a wedding and film all day and night.... What lens would you choose or buy?
they hired photographers and a film crew for the wedding 👌👌🤟🤟🙏🙏 bro I love your content I've just found you. I can't stop watching, I'm about to start my journey into the photography world. wish me luck hahah
Haha we were lit at this wedding. Can’t wait to drop this film!
Thanks so much for the support. You got this! Message anytime on IG if you ever have questions. 🙌🏾
@@JustinPorterMedia thanks 👌👌 looking forward to your next videos 🙏
Hey, great video! I don't know how you manage to find so much time to prepare everything. Even though I arrive earlier than my reporting time due to multiple locations in one day, I find myself constantly on the move with the team, hardly having time to talk and plan. Here, it seems like everyone is so relaxed, as if there's only one location for the bride getting ready, the groom getting ready, the first look, the ceremony, and the reception.
I'm curious, how do you handle situations where all the locations are far apart? I'm asking because you have a lot of equipment with you. Do you leave other teams to capture the bride and groom getting ready while you proceed to set up lighting and everything for the ceremony and reception?
Thanks
Great notes! What are those mounts on top of you guys' heads for?
Wow, it's crazy, it's hard to see more than two 7SII'2 handheld here in Europe for wedding video and there are many professionals that makes magic with that set up, but this is Netflix QC +1000.
The BTS itself is a movie 😀, You inspire me bro🙌
Haha that means so much. I seriously appreciate the support! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@JustinPorterMedia You are the support bro, please keep creating, am Learning a lot from you. Two weeks ago i covered my first wedding if you get sometime i will appreciate if you check out the trailer czcams.com/video/QlZN_kPzUVQ/video.html and give some advise. Am currently using Canon 250D 😂. I try to use your style in all my video and people are loving them😀, here in Kenya all wedding videographers Edit their videos the old same way.
Hey Justin! Love your videos!!! Where do you get your music for your videos? Thank you and God bless!!!
Mostly musicbed. I love the "mainstream" sound
hey brother - Im keen to get those team headsets for comms you guys are wearing - do you know where and what brand that are? Thank you so much! Love the BTS!
True professional! Great video! Just wanted to know the name of the vest and can you use that with a gimbal?
Thanks so much. The vest is the easyrig minimax stabil light. Yes, you can use it with a gimbal. I’m making a video about my bmpcc4k gimbal setup soon
This is awesome and super helpful! Thank you for making these videos! What picture profile do you use? Like SLOG, LOG, Cine, etc... I'm pretty sure these are Sony terms, but I guess the closest you can get to what a picture profile would be on a Blackmagic camera. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you found it valuable. So i film I’m b raw which I guess would be close to s log on Sony.
@@JustinPorterMedia Thanks man! Keep up the awesome work!
It is just so cool to watch you work behind the scenes 🤩🔥
Haha it’s crazy to watch back myself because I never noticed Mitch filming me 😂
This is cool Asf
🔥🔥🔥 Thanks so much 🙌🏾🙌🏾
wow...
In south Africa the people are always late I wonder how you get the time to mic the people and direct those amazing shots like the daughter and father first time seeing each other.
Do you need to resync the transmitters / receivers when they get out of range? For example when you are all driving from the morning prep to the ceremony?
Nope. They automatically reconnect when in range again. 🙌🏾
All these cameras and setups seem overkill for a wedding. I can't imagine carrying all that load all day for a wedding.
Then again, he's doing it to tell the story as efficiently as possible. You really do need a lot of gear for his style. Not everyone has to do this though, it's just a personal choice to get to a certain level of quality and professionalism.
Yea it can be overkill for some but it looks like he has tougher days in the gym lol wedding cinematographers should train to handle the wedding days.
@@ElijahGarciaFishing Absolutely! I can't tell you how many weddings when I get to the open dancing and my back is done! And I'm still really young too
@@LearningCurveTech yea that’s the time when you feel it. I’ve been lifting weights now to help my performance in the field.
@@ElijahGarciaFishing same, especially core, but everything else is important too, depending on the camera rig
Oh my g! Aqui no Brasil isso não funcionaria nunca em um casamento padrão daqui. Mas gostei de ver isso.
The photographer be like " This guy shooting a wedding or a movie "
The wedding film crew is very well
Do you ever worry about smacking someone in the head with the easy rig arm? I just started using one and am always feeling scared I'll hit someone or something when I have it on but am not filming. I just discovered your channel and it's been the most useful since Wedding Film School. Amazing content!
Hey. That’s awesome you have one. I don’t really worry about hitting someone. When I walk, I either hold it with one hand or I pull the arm up and lay it over my chest lol. But neither myself or my assistant have hit anyone (knock on wood) lol.
I finished watching the video and my back was killing me just looking at them with all that weight on your backs, cheers!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 best comment 🔥🔥
Thanks so much brother. Go grab a heating pad for your back 😂😂
What kind of headset you using?
Justin your outfit is 🔥 I will find a shirt and style like yours 💪 it looks cool and also confortable for shooting
Oh without a doubt. I wear Bylt Basics Pant 2.0 and Executive Polo. Amazing clothes, super stretchy and breathable, lightweight, and they legit never fade. I’ve had pants for over a year and they are still pure black
@@JustinPorterMedia 🙏🙏🙏
I wish if I could be able to be your crew member as a cinematographer . You guys are lovely so polite
And i was thinking that i carry too much gear with my Sony a7sIII and two lenses :). Our whole country don't have so much equipment. All kidding aside , nice video and insight in other colleges work :)
I truly appreciate that haha. It’s a lot. I can’t wait to release this film. It’ll all make sense then lol
What Lapel do you use?
Recently shot a wedding with the URSA G1 4.6K, I wish tf I had that backpack rig I’m still in pain from that shoot.
Ooo shoot yea you need an easyrig haha. Game changer
How often do the AVX's pickup interference? I hear the 2.4GHz band is very crowded.
The AVX’s actually run on 1.9ghz. It’s much more reliable at a wedding but like all transmissions, there’s always risk in dropouts. This was actually one of the last weddings we used the AVX with. We now use Deity recorders. Much more reliable since they record internal
Im definitely putting a mic on you #ImDone 🤣
What made you have 4 shooters instead of your normal 2 this time?
This was the doc wedding I was doing. I wanted 2 in the bridal suite and 2 in the groom suite as well as have creative angles for the ceremony and toasts. I ran 4 until cocktail hour, then 3 for the toasts and first dances then just me and second for the party.
I dont ask this often but with this set up how much does he charge? it has to be a crazy amount
nice
where can i watch the Output Sir? Love to see the film :) anyway great job sir
I am going to be uploading it very soon :)
Thanks so much. Can’t wait to share it
@@JustinPorterMedia I would love to see the outpost.
Bro, my wife says that you and I are long lost brothers because we act the same exact way lol!!!! Question… what’s the piece you’re using to hold the v mount on top of the 6k pro?
😂😂😂😂 this energy be too much sometimes haha. It’s just a SMALLRIG v mount plate
Which case are you using? The 1650?
Yep. Pelican 1650
Wow, seen less kit on a Netflix shoot 😆
What light stands do you use?
The main ones are impact 13’ air cushioned stands. The flat bases I made using umbrella stands. I talk about it around 12:30
When you hire videographers and get Ghostbusters
HEY JUSTIN!! Is there a way to prevent the Zoom F6 from breaking up the audio files into multiple takes(files)? I Hit record and pretty much leave it going all throughout the day but always end up with MULTIPLE takes and folders. Kinda frustrating. Any suggestions?
That’s a safety thing. If for some reason your recording corrupts, it’s only that file rather than the entire audio file losing everything. Also, I’d recommend recording when you need it.
@@JustinPorterMedia makes sense. but damn!!! i know it has to be a NIGHTMARE with as much audio YOU run!! lol Thanks for the speedy reply!!
@@JustinPorterMedia Also,i tried out the BP-TRX’s for the first time!! IM IN LOVE!!!!!!😂
@@smoovboyproductions684 haha yea but I don’t record into the zoom all day. Timecode makes it so easy though
What headset do you guys use?
Hollyland Solidcom C1🔥
Great job and investment, for others this this overkill gear for a wedding
Can't get enough.. learning so much, are you filming 24 or 60 the whole time or only do 60 when its for storyline?
I film 24fps all day now. I will film a few clips in 60fps if I think it’s worth it. Like grand entrances or certain bride and groom poses.
@@JustinPorterMedia I see you like the buttery luts? I have the natural ones rec 709. Do you think they are better using for exposure and look or the video to rec 709. When filming
@@darkechoproductionsllc9559 I do love them but haven’t used them in some time. Now I use color space transform and grade each clip from scratch. I get a much better result.
The display lut I use is blackmagics film to extended video lut
@@JustinPorterMedia I will agree cst is fantastic really putting it to rec 709. Also I saw you use resolve film luts. There is a secret I learned to get them to actually work, from a Hollywood colorist. Shoot me an email and I tell you how to make them work as they should.
@@darkechoproductionsllc9559 dang can I get that info too?
What are you using to get the same timecode for all cameras and mic’s?
I’m using the Ultrasync One. I have each camera with one and then I jam sync the recorders.
@@JustinPorterMedia could you do a video of Ultrasync one?
@@uvenruns that’s a good idea because the ones I seen when researching weren’t super helpful. I’ll plan to make one
