Virgil & Raquel's Wedding Video

Hey all. It's been a while, but things have been busy!

Back in July I was able to video a wedding while my wife took the pictures. It was a great wedding and a fun reception!



Shot on the Panasonic GH2 with the Lumix 14-140mm lens, as well as the 20mm f/1.7 lens. Edited in Sony Vegas. Music is copyright it's original owner.

Kylie and Fayoz's Wedding Video

Kylie and Fayoz got married back in March, and I just realized that I forgot to post their wedding video here!

The process for this video was the same as the previous two. I used my Steadicam for most of the shots with my GH2 using a 14mm lens (28mm FF equivalent) and shooting at either 60 frames per second or 29.97, so that I had the option of slowing both of them down when I dropped the clips into a 24p timeline. We went back to the temple a few weeks after their wedding to get most of the pickup shots, and I'm happy with the way that they turned out! All of the lens flares, etc... in this are real. It was just that awesome of an evening. Perfect sunset, and a great couple! Editing was done in Sony Vegas.

Preston & Emilee's Wedding Video

I had the chance to film my friend's wedding on the 26th of April, and here's the video I made from it:




I filmed most of this at 29.97 frames per second, so that when I got to editing, I could slow it down 20% to 23.98 fps, thus creating a slightly slow-motion version of the clip. I think it worked well.

For the outdoor shots, I wanted to get as wide of an angle as I could, so I flew the Lumix 14-140mm @ 14mm. For the indoor stuff, I needed a fast lens, so I went with my 20mm f/1.7. I also left it wide open, which I was surprised to find out that it worked beautifully!

Gear used in this shoot: Lumix GH2, the Weildy HDV steadicam, Lumix 14-140mm lens, and the Lumix 20mm f/1.7 lens. Edited in Sony Vegas.

Austin & Diana's Wedding Video

I had the chance to attend my cousin's wedding back in February, and of course I brought my camera along! Here's the video I edited of their wedding:



I did a few things differently with this video. First, I filmed most of it at 29.97 frames per second, so that when I got to editing, I could slow it down 20% to 24 fps, thus creating a slightly slow-motion version of the clip. I think it worked well.

Another thing that I did differently was that this was the first time I used my steadicam for an event. I thought that it would get heavy or tiresome after a while, but it didn't. For the outdoor shots, I wanted to get as wide of an angle as I could, so I flew the Lumix 14-140mm @ 14mm. For the indoor stuff, I needed a fast lens, so I went with my 20mm f/1.7. I also left it wide open, which I was surprised to find out that it worked beautifully!

Gear used in this shoot: Lumix GH2, the Weildy HDV steadicam, Lumix 14-140mm lens, and the Lumix 20mm f/1.7 lens. Also used the Indie Slider Mini for the two slider shots. Edited in Sony Vegas.
