This is the difference between wedding videographers and cinematographers. You guys are amazing and your work blows me away, This makes me appreciate how much work goes into making those incredibly moving videos.

hey shannon

thanks for the love. it isn’t a conscious cutting if there is a pattern around that time, it is always about feeling the flow through all of the layers -color, VO, soundtrack, different visual storylines etc. we are very keen on listening to the shot and hearing when it is over so we can cut to the next one – no frame should ever be wasted :)

ONe question… in your editing, I have noticed a +/- 1.6 second intervals between shots. Is there a formula you use, and when you shoot, are you thinking in that short segment footage for the final product?

A really interesting video. Why the annoying music underneath though? Its totally distracting from the information he is giving. No need for it guys. I’d rather hear what you are saying. Don’t take this as a negative but it does detract from the great info in the video.

the running portion was a joke – we aren’t actually running during a ceremony.

and hand signals certainly aren’t distracting. versus wearing a communication system like eartec and looking/having the presence of secret service, we find the occasional hand signal much less intrusive.

as for changing lenses – how many photographers don’t switch lenses during a ceremony and who ever knows when your switching a lens?

respecting the intimacy of every event is very important to keeping authenticity in our films, so we are always thinking of how to best accomplish that.

all that effort and expense for $1500 L lenses and then classic jello in the shot of the viola(?) in the selena video. What is the saying about lipstick? And yes, FWIW, I do shoot video with a 5D.
