I had another chance to practice my videography on a wedding. My sister-in-law was getting remarried in St. George and I was in charge of photography. So I thought I may as well take the opportunity to do some video as well. I'm glad I did, because I didn't love how the photos came out. They would have been great outside, but we were in a room with beige walls and a beige floor. That is the perfect recipe for orange pictures, and I didn't have any off camera lighting with me. Also, the wedding went really quick. Like less than 5 minutes quick. So I had a lot less to work with in editing.
For this video I tried to use less movement and just focus on the people and cutting back and forth. I used a tripod and my Monfrotto Fluid Head (which is amazing, by the way. I have another Manfrotto that's a lot cheaper, but it doesn't really even compare to this one. Well worth the price) for most of the shots. I also shot some handheld, only because the space in the room was a little tight. With those I just applied stabilization. I shot the majority of this in 1920x1080, 30 fps.
I also edited with Premiere Pro instead of Magix and it made a HUGE difference for me in post. I spend a whole lot less time editing, even with the learning curve. I did the whole thing in a day. It probably would have taken less time without interruptions from kids ;). I would wholeheartedly recommend Premiere Pro.
I know my videography is definitely a work in progress, but I think this video is better than the first wedding I did. It's progress, and at this point that's all I care about.
Here it is!
