  • How to Film a Wedding BY YOURSELF - A Solo Shooter's Guide
    So many people look at filming a wedding by yourself as a daunting task, but with these simple tips and tricks, you'll be on your way to solo shooting a wedding by yourself in no time! Although many wedding videographers use two or even three shooters, the reality is that you can make high quality wedding videos by yourself, using only one camera. I've traveled the world shooting in the most incredible places and venues, and by the end of this video I hope you feel more confident in approaching weddings the way that I do when it comes to tackling a wedding day and you're the only shooters there!

    Duuuude! How could I have lived without the trilens holder? :-O I guess you just changed my life, also I have not seen this anywhere else but your channel. Cheers mate!

    Great tutorial! Multi-cam ceremony, toasts and dance floor are a must.

    As somebody who is a wedding photographer and videographer, I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to see the rare professional who only thinks about their work. That having been said, most people are super gracious and once you correct them a few times they’ll get into the flow of working with somebody else. Definitely looking into that lens holster - thanks!

    The handheld point is so good. I started last wedding season into using the final for certain shots, then dropped it for a monopod. Now I’m leaving toward shooting handheld.

    With or without a second shooter, these are wonderful tips. I’d add a note about sound. Great audio is as equally important as the visual. Weather it is micing the groom or tapping in to the DJ’s sound board, you can also achieve that by arriving early. Keep up the great work man!

      There's a really really good video called: Gimbal VS Handheld - WHEN & WHY - Camera movement for CINEMATIC VIDEO....CZcamsr: Jacques Crafford. I can't even express how it important handheld is especially because a wedding is full of emotion. And he talks about feelings/emotion with visuals to show you comparisons.

    Well Bro 😂 I stumbled across this video and went to the site to purchase with your Code and this is not available for L Mount 😂. Hilarious.
    I guess us LUMIX Shooters aren’t interested with my 10 Lenses. Great idea though.

    If we subscribe to your patreon, do we get to count ourselves as a student to get a discount with adobe?

    • @StantonGiles
      @StantonGiles  Před rokem

      I’m not 100% sure on that, it’s education you are paying for, so if that’s adobes only requirement then yes, but if they require a email verification that you’re a student, then maybe not

    An even more controversial idea than handheld: for a faster focal length change, you could use a zoom...

    You should never be switching lenses during a ceremony. Backpack or not. Pick a lens and make it work!

      you should watch some of my ceremony's if you think that's the case - I get more angles and shots by myself than most teams of videographers do. @@diceflawless9115
