I love his energy. Been a big fan of Justin’s for a while, however I never knew how his style translated. Being a wedding videographer for 7 years. There are some great take aways for me and things I can implement. The out of the box thinking with gear, lighting, headsets, and Audio is something that really opened my eyes to how he does things. Biggest takeaway is him controlling the light, and him not settling for the norm is amazing. Second takeaway would be how he keeps track of the story. Which is crucial.
I think his techniques can translate easily in everyone’s style. The only thing that can’t be copied is him. HIs energy and how he interacts with his couples is amazing.
Matt thank you for making such an awesome Behind the Scenes film. I’ve been excited to watch this video for awhile. I felt like I was there working with Justin on the day. This video opened up my eyes what I could be doing more for my wedding clients in the future.
The collab we didn't know we needed but always wanted 🙌 Let's get a part 2 in the future!
Right!
@@Paul.Billingsley GOOD FOR YOU
As an experienced wedding videographer, this is mind blowing. This set up is the kind of thing you would do if you asked yourself "what would I need to do to create the best possible wedding film?" - the amount of audio and time syncs gives me major anxiety haha - controlling the lighting at the reception is next level! I wonder if Justin gets any resistance from wedding venues and even DJ's who like their own lighting? - I assume this is part of the consulting process when booking? I've also always found it hard matching colours with different camera manufacturers, so this is also interesting. Justin is definitely next level, and it is inspiring to take a few hints here and there to improve my own end product. Story telling at its finest.
DJ's here in my area hate whenever videographers setup 1-2 lights on the dance floor. Surprised the DJ here was cool about him setting up his own uplights
yeah same, I can only assume they are consulted by Justin or the couple prior to booking @@chronocross85
@@chronocross85 as a Cinematographer, no disrespect to the DJ but visually these Clients are expecting the very best visually from these Wedding Films. The outcome is all about controlling light to work best for the Cameras Output.
Although I understand DJs have to have a competitive edge of the competition. But It shouldn’t be an insult to the Music Director of the Event if a splash of Color is taken away.
I use 4 to 6 lights very strategically (of course not just blasting the area but more for mood and feeling). Again it’s all about balance without short changing the Products we are all giving the Client on their once in a lifetime day. If done properly, should be promoting ALL of US as top Vendors hopefully leading to future Business.
From the time of booking, I make my best effort to obtain a full vendor list so I can personally reach out and share expectations between all vendors that would be directly impacted or a beneficiary of that joint assignment. This way the DJ know's who I am and that I'm coming with my bag of tricks. Not overly concerned about how they feel about it in a negative aspect because we both work for the client. If I bring lights, mics, uplights etc the client has foreknowledge of my offerings as will the DJ and venue know. Should they forget... It's showtime regardless. We in da building at that point haha.
The bromance between you two is starting to reach "Rocky III" heights & we're here for it! ❤
You should do a review of this wedding film like you normally do.
It boggles my mind now much effort he puts into his work. It’s on a completely different scale and playing field than everyone else.
The best things about that is that he’s the only one and he gets to set his price wherever he wants because he has no competition.
Rock on with this epic game!
Agreeded
Well, there are a lot of competition who are doing greater work with less gear, like Ray Roman. This is overkill.
@@winnghRay Roman and Justin have two totally different target markets. Ray couldn’t do what Justin does because most of his couples probably require NDAs because of their wealth and status.
@@winngh greater is subjective.
Editing that wedding must be one crazy job 😂
With timecode it makes it a bit easier but all that footage can be a nightmare if you don’t do proper planning
Very cool behind the scenes for new creatives to watch. Wish I had this kind of material when I was young. I learned from books I bought at Barnes & Noble while using gear that was 20 times lesser quality. Gear today does half the work for you. Thanks to Justin for opening himself up and revealing his style.
Personal opinion:
I admire your passion and commitment, but working this way and you will want to retire before you turn 45. I remember my first five years doing photography. I showed up like Comando with a tank full of gear. You learn to find balance as you get older without sacrificing the emotions or your joints. My only advice for him is to be mindful of his stress levels and back. Two essentials for every wedding.
I'm also curious what the investment was for this experience and where you got your headsets? Name brand?
Agreed with your opinion!
The headsets:
Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro-4S
LMAO!!!! I got to work with Justin out here in Odessa, TX. Amazing time, so professional, and the best thing about him is the gear that he brought for sound. I'm a DJ and sometimes the videographer/film maker tries to just plug into my speaker and doesn't have the knowledge on how to get better sound from my mixer. He was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my idea of hell. Amazing work, no doubt. But still, I'm going to have nightmares about being there with all that gear.
This was a fantastic BTS. Justin, you did an amazing job managing your level of production with two people, and Matt was an awesome guide. Thank you, Sir!
Justin is incredible, he’s the reason I switched to LED to light my receptions as a wedding photographer. Gelling my flashes gave me a headache. Just light it and shoot without changing my camera settings on both cameras 😊
Great tip, may I ask what LED you use?
@@jankarlsson8341 Godox ML60 Bi
zero f**ks given for the photographer .lol
The photographer definitely got her shots.. not sure what you’re seeing lol
Lighting I understand but I would much rather go with some sony light gear like FX3 and simple gimbal for filming
When I used to videographer weddings I tried to go as light as possible. I found most people at the wedding were uncomfortable with a lot of heavy industrial equipment pointing at them. And when the dancing starts they won't the lights turned down low it makes them feel less intimidating while dancing.
Props to you Matt. The amount of work in the video (even getting the BTS shot and inserting the final shot!), and so much explaining. Love it!
A company needs to make white light stands to blend better against a lighter background.
Loved this BTS. You did a great job. Enjoyed it and learned a lot from you guys. Thanks!
It s funny when you read other folks' comments on here, its overkill, too much gear, so intrusive, attention seeker, forgot it's the bride and groom day... and in the end of the day Justn gets his clients, they are happy with the product they pay for, he makes it happen and understand what he s providing and creating. This is perfect example of bringing something new to the field and separate yourself from the rest. Keep up the great work Justin and also thank you Matt for providing and showing us the masses what you learn in this field. Keep on kicking @## n taking names.
Its beyond me how much gear gets carried around for a wedding film. Kudos on the work thats done but that feels way to intrusive in a wedding day. Its not about the filmmaker rather than the couple and the guests obviously.
“ What time is the ceremony?”
“When the bride walk down”
🤣🤣🤣 that’s right, it’s their day! Great BTS!
I know this will never be my style of wedding filmmaking, nonetheless, i freaking love it and respect it. The attention to detail from justin is bortherline cinema or big budget documentaries. And to think HE is the one lighting and setting everythin up is just CRAZY. This is amazing.
All that gear seems like overkill for wedding videography.
I dont know if I will go as hardcore on the gear department as Justin, but my biggest takeaway here is the soundbites and the audio. Everyones so obsessed and the latest lenses and camera gear but a good wedding videographer invests in good audio. Its honestly waaay too overkill for my style, but I love seeing the other end of the spectrum and grabe bits and pieces from JPM’s unconventional wedding style, as someone whose familiar with the Filipino wedding videography system for 7 years. And dont get me started on Justin’s passion, its so electric and watching this the night before two wedding gigs is a great night cap! Hope to see more BTS from other filmmakers too! Loved seeing you both in one video. 👌
His energie’s contagious. There’s a lot of chatter about this being overkill. As a DP in the corporate world, this is a very light set up. It’s an impressive kit. Curious how much he charges, I’m guessing minimum 12 K.
This is such a great BTS Video, we need a second collab
hope we could see the final edit .🤗🤗🤗
100% do more of these. Even film makers that you pick that are not "big names" would be huge hits I think.
Matt this was so thorough. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Dope BTS (or Gas for you younger kats)
leave him do his thing. don't like it personally, as its just too overkill. I see a lot of people thinking of getting into this style, I would say for sure this will break your bank and also the time it would take to learn the process.
And after few years keeping same style you are alredy a past and your bussines drops by 70% have fun :)
Clients want what they want. Video keeps evolving.
Over kill to you. Lol
Ehh I do not think its a overkill but I do think everyone is not fit for his type of style. His style is unique and cannot be replicated. His process goes way behind than the average wedding videographer.
@@rmcapturezweddings6907 Not worth it to explain, this guys wedding films all are in slowmotion, not even a tint peace of second is normal speed 😀😇
This video is not only for wedding filmmakers but also for any other Filmmakers. Thank you guys for this video and the lessons shared in it.
I love the results and his energie, but I also dont want to turn my wedding into a movie set. As a phototographer and someone who is planing his own wedding right now, i want the photo/video production to stay in the background. But I guess this is also a culture difference between usa and europe. But as I sayed, the results are outstanding and one of a kind.
Yeah I'm going to need a timecode tutorial for weddings-- I don't understand it! They're mics, but they're timecode generators? Huh?
May I recommend Cheetahstand light-stands that way you don't need to carry your light-stands upside down. 😉
Thanks Matt for sharing this with us, amazing behind the scenes. I think it's great to see how another talented person works on a wedding day. Keep doing it!
Just an observation: some of the shots from camera 1 and camera 2, when shown together, are practically the same size in some instances. Kinda defeats the headset communication gaming IMHO. But totally a hard video prod to pull off, hats off the JPM!
By “Reality TV”, I thought I’d get tips on how to mic the old flame, stage the paternity test results, and capture both the objection and the MIL’s reaction.
REALLY COOL VIDEO! Definitely lots to learn. I was already following him but I just hit that bell!! hahaha
That photographer had to of been intimidated..
I LOVED this style of BTS. I wonder who else would be as cool about having you follow along with them as they shoot the day and not get offended that you're promoting trade secrets or something.. Either way, keep up the great content!!
watching this makes me glad I left the business. Props to Justin, but all that gear compared to what the hipster chic photographer was using, just over kill. Nothing will kill your body like shooting these days over the course of 25 years. Make sure you have good health insurance.
This is how weddings turn from family celebrations into performance...
Process incoming “Hate” 😂
As long as there are Clients that want and are willing to pay for this style… why would you debate it over just enjoying an inside look into the process. Judgements are hilarious.
thank you Matt im in dfw & your a big inspiration & I been following Justin porter also this BTS was incredibly helpful.d
This really opened my mind to an entirely different world. I’m not a wedding videographer but I’m definitely going to implement some of these tips in the productions I do ❤
Love the insides! Great idea! I would love to see you follow Ray Roman Films around! I kinda believe you will love it too. lol
I wanna know how he manages time to get his workouts in with all of these high-end weddings haha
Thanks for the video. How does the dp monitoring sound? How does he know if it has become detached, and how do they adjust volume?
Wasn't happy with the stability of those shots, especially with all the stabilization tools used...
This was such an amazing video! Thank you Matt and Justin!
This is just the difference between a wedding film and a videographer he’s being a film maker.
Bruh, I loved every freaking second of it! Great great episode.
the legend says photographers love him
The collab we've all been waiting for. 😎😎
I like food too!
if you could travel to Ph i would suggest paradox film
New recommended light Amaran 60x? Is that the LS 60x?
The first time I saw his content, I skip the video and honestly not a fun. His approach is completely overkill for me. Like someone seeking for attention at someone's special moment. I would go discreet and let the emotions flow without feeling fake.
Exactly! His approach wouldn't work where I come from... We moved away from this kind of shooting years ago. This feels more like a movie set, not a genuine wedding.
Need an update on the post workflow. Where's all that media being stored
Does he get nervous about theft? I try to be minimal because I can't keep an eye on multiple bags and cases.
yea if you can get in the editing room as this is nearing conclusion, that'd be awesome.
Loved the content. But gosh, Americans are LOUD haha
The lady that was recording on her phone that almost knocked into him made me mad😂
Loved this! Thanks for sharing this Matt!
The video wedding videographers needed!! Awesome!!
How does Justin manage to film a wedding in multiple locations? Say, getting ready at a hotel - ceremony downtown, and reception at another hotel? Looks like the only option would be having a staff to setup/teardown.
That’s mainly why I make sure I’m able to carry all my gear throughout a wedding day (tripods and all). We do multiple location weddings more often than not. Interesting stuff!
He needs therapy. All that gear for a wedding.
Hey Buddy, what a great idea to show us all the steps you filmed. I really admire all your efforts to put those together. Justin; couple of word maybe not enough; `He is detailed oriented king and Pro`, awesome. I enjoyed every minute of your film. Great Job. Cheers
which shoes do you guys recommend for a day like this?
The collaboration I didn't know I needed!!!
how to manage those camera flashes while recording?
To all those saying his style isn’t appealing…good. He isn’t trying to impress other filmmakers, which a lot of other filmmakers try to do. 😂 one thing I know for certain; HIS COUPLES love the final product. That’s what matters. His style is a masterclass in its own of leaning into a niche and continuing to attract your ideal couple.
Absolutely loved this! Watched the full thing without skipping any of it. I’ve only filmed 4 weddings so far and I feel I’ve learned so much just in this BTS alone.
Definitely worth its weight in gold
Learning from others years into the industry! 🤙🏼
He really said, "wait, we friends? right?" 🤣
The thing that always jars with me about filmmakers like this is that they're spending all this money on gear for lighting, various high end cameras etc. But then they're using a 24-70 2.8 photography lens. If you've got that many cameras, use some primes, use some cine lenses, use some vintage lenses. Bring some character to the work.
was thinking that too and the counterargument I came up with in my head was that those photography zooms offer versatility (of course there are cine zooms) and it would be ballsy running a set of primes. but yeah the setup is so impressive down to the codec and then the images look like... that. I guess this setup is more geared towards capturing moments and content and Justin is clearly thinking story the whole time, which seems to be working for him lmao but I think it could be hard to do that and then ALSO focus on creating really beautiful images
I truly admire the effort here guys. Couple questions: Do you see this kind of workflow being sustainable mentally and physically going forward? Clearly your succeeding in this style - as you grow and start to get inquires for weddings that require minimal footprint by planners, do you think you’ll be limiting your potential earnings when trying to branch into luxury markets?
What a mastermind. Love to see it! His vibe is incredible. And great work on the BTS beard daddy!
This must be old. Didn’t he recently switched to Red?
Yes he recently switched
Some really interesting things and a great BTS. Really would love to do this in other areas of the industry.
Hello sir please join me your team
I love this stuff a content amazing you two together. But top wedding pros showing tips and tricks.
halo friends, what microhpone from after party wedding in high and bass music ? thanks
28:33 watch a kid disappear into thin air 😂😂😂
I loved everything about this. Where to start ?
For one this is so cool to have BTS of a very well conducted shoot!
Lots of takeaways, new ideas. AND a ton of fun. I cracked up at Matt saying Lit/Gas and capturing the op2 expression lol.
MORE of this please !!!!
At 28:35 someone disappeared behind you kkkkkk.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT MATT. And now i´m going to follow Justin too. I learn a lot from your content and always try to implement some of it into my works here in Angola.
awesome bts! love it! if you heard of mayadstudios, they are one of the top wedding filmmakers in phillipines, they have a USA branch too, a bts of them would be awesome!
Justin is so cool and is such an awesome guy. Hate this style so much but I love that he’s killing it 😆🔥🙌🏼
Justin brings great energy and passion to his work. Im sure the couple he's worked with find him very easy to work with and connect with. He has a big smile and is always so positive. Very good BTS. This was a lot of fun to watch. Thank you for capturing.
Great video Matt! Loved the insight and it’s always good to get a fresh perspective on processes.
he is a christofer nolan for wedding 😂
John Bunn or nick miller form HTFW
@ 3:01 I love that rolling coffin for the light stands.... here I thought I was smart with my golf club rolling cart adapted for tripods.... lol 😅
nice BTS! Justin is pretty much setting new boundaries for what's possible in a wedding film and I love it!
To answer your question in terms of unique style:
see if you can film Henry Martens, le Reve, Adam Grumbo, film and flourish, or Gione da silva!
He is WORKING! Such an inspiration these two guys..
this was so inspiring!
what i learned:
-pull the story out! interview the guests
-the semi circle toast idea
-force the high energy
-ask and you shall receive
-lighting
-have fun!
I'm excited to watch this. I hope it's a kid friendly video...
"hoping we get some tears from the dad" is such a wedding filmmaker thing to say lmao
This video is gold! I will use it with my team, not for weddings, to show professionalism and team effort! Thanks, Matt!
I’m not a huge fan of making the wedding day a production, but damn he’s good at what he does. There’s def couples that want that and he pulls it off 100%
You two are a sick duo
Probably one of my favourite behind scenes video. Great job. Keep those coming!
this was really great, i always love seeing how different people operate to steal ideas.
I thought Justin was the over the top RED camera guy?
