First off it’s absolutely insane how you do all of this as a one man band! Secondly we need to get another video on how you work your audio because the difference between cleaned and raw is night and day! Doing great my bro🏆🏆🏆
Thank you so much Kwesi, and Merry Christmas. The solo shooting stuff is a blood-sport loool, very risky but I've been doing it long enough now to the point where I am pretty confident. A few have asked me about my audio clean up so I'll see what I can do, might just export my settings and put it up on my site 🙌
The way you get those closeups of the bride and groom during ceremony are gorgeous. During my weddings I find it difficult to get in those angles. Love the gear!
Great video! Thats a legit gear setup you have there👌. I’d love to see how you light your weddings… I’ve always been intimidated by lighting and definitely want to start lighting my weddings this year.
Thank you so much, it can work for photos using a workaround but it would mean having to take photos in my custom flat profile. Would you be ok with that? 😲
what memory cards are you using also the sleeves you are using for you Sony recorders sir. Your luts are amazing as well as your wedding videos. Im going to try your NT workflow this weekend at a wedding shoot.
Heya, thank you so much! I use prograde v90 cards to get the best quality out of my cameras. the sleeves are linked below: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/835297735/
Good call with attaching the voice recorders to the mics! I've had so many experiences where the mic would just be crackly and/or die in the middle of the speeches, making editing a nightmare.
I really enjoy your videos and admire your work. Have you not noticed "moire" when recording with the Sony A1 in 4K? I have this camera and I am happy with the quality in 8k. But in 4k I have noticed moire in texture areas. I don't notice it in your videos.
Awesome video! How do you clean the audio so well. Kay bàbà, I'm coming for a tutorial on that. Do you mount the light on a stand or you attach to gimbal? Do you use tripod for the over the shoulder shots for wedding vows?
Insane quality and insane story telling! Always looking forward to look another masterpiec from u. Since u use the A1 - is it really that much better then the A7S3?
That little Sony ICD-TX660 recorder sounds like the audio is from a TV show or movie set its really good. In a weird way its too good. Most of the time when you heard audio from a wedding it does not sound like this and sounds like wedding videographer sound if you know what I mean. I really does sound like audio from a TV show or movie.
Amazing footage! I currently have the Sony A1 and was actually thinking of moving to the the FX3 for the lowlight advantages. Do you still prefer the A1 even in lowlight situations?
@@blakemurphey5886 of course i miss my a1 because it was a beast but i think yes i did the right thing because the fx3 is also amazing!!! specially with the new firmware :). and if u purchase the fx30 as a b-cam than you are really good!!! i am really happy with both of them. fx3 is better in low light than a1 :) keep in mind
I love my A1 personally and would only sell It for the successor. Really wanted to get the FX30 but I feel like Sony are going to drop some insane cameras soon. The lowlight on the FX3 is possibly only superior in SLO3 at the dual native ISOs. With my profile it's clean throughout the ISO range until you get to the higher ISO ranges.
Great content and super usefull info 💪🏻 I also just purchased your bundle luts. What lut do you use to grade the drone footage? Avis lut…is this your lut too? Thx 🙂
Nice! I have a few of these. Have you tried the Voigtlander 50mm 1.2? That lens has the most character in my arsenal. Manual as well. There’s something about these classic lenses.
Almost ended up purchasing the voigtlander 40mm and 50 f2 version but I own way too many 50mm lenses 😂 that 50 deffo you own has such an amazing look. Check out the meyer optics biotar 58…might be my next lens
On the color grading for the Mavic Mini 3 Pro you have it labeled as Mavic 3 Pro. Might have some peeps confused, but still GODDAMN those colors are vibrant!
@@i_am_kayode I got this lens an is amazing, I use just for short events, I would not be able to do a full wedding, a young person in good shape probably could. The AF is fast and the IQ is of he same quality of GM glass (compared against my 70-200 GM II and you could not see the difference)
I need to know how you clean up audio. Please do make a vid on that. Just bought the luts earlier today as well! Sent you an email for a little question I have about them. Huge fan of your work brother!
Took me a year to get better at cleaning my audio. Was definitely a weak point of mine before 2021, I’ll see about doing a video around it. And thanks for purchasing the LUT 🙏🏿 means a lot to me, will check my inbox shortly and will get back to you 🙂
Heya Jose, I don't use a monitor on the day as I find it slows me down. I can film on the FX3 without one if needed but I prefer my A1 because I can expose my shot using the EVF if it ever gets too sunny
I've been looking at the 35mm GM for quite some time but have been discouraged time and again by the comments about how bad the focus breathing is. I've personally never dealt with a lens with terrible focus breathing, so I'm wondering has that been an issue for you as a wedding filmmaker? I imagine the most blatant examples of breathing would be when you have this lens on a tripod camera and things are moving in and out of frame, but for moving shots is it something that's even noticeable?
Hey there, yeah there was a lot of talk about the focus breathing on the 35GM and it kinda felt like a trend/talking topic for some of these RUclipsrs. Honestly speaking it hasn’t been an issue for me when using it on a gimbal with the way that I move, but for tripod/static shots it will be noticeable, focus breathing issues have been an issue across a lot of lenses for years…you only really get 0 breathing on cine lenses which come at a cost
I’m a wedding photographer who has never quite had the courage to try video with my Sonys. Pretty cool that you’re willing to share your knowledge and expertise. Inspiring work sir!
@@jasonbuckner8161 pleasure is all mine, a lot of the information I needed when I started out just wasn't out there online/RUclips so I'm glad I can help
HI! Are the COMER Radiance 360 Variable Color have the same power (luminance) than Torchled swx bolt 300? I can't find the swx anymore and i'm so happy to find your review. If thay make the same job, it will be save me. Thanks.
Heya! They're exactly the same minus a few small details with the buttons at the back. I had discovered the COMERs around a year and a half ago and stayed on the waiting list for such a long time, was worth the wait! Get them before they disappear like the CoreSXWs
Never ended up giving it a go because of the size of it, but I have considered it to replace my telephoto 70-170, my only concern is the 150 might be a little too short for me
How many shooters are with you when you do these weddings? And how many angles do you typically use? Would love for you to talk about how you get weddings done in the next video
@@morayophotography oh thank you sorry I just finished watching it and caught when he said he’s a solo shooter Would still love to hear how he’s pacing all this by himself especially setting up the angles for each scene by himself
heya, I'm mostly a solo shooter. I may have the odd jobs in a year when I'll bring on an assistant. When I shoot by myself I set up my angles ahead of time on the day and I try to liaise with any necessary vendors beforehand 🙂
Thanks so much man - what a great run through of an awesome kit. Wish they would invent an audio recorder about the size of a USB stick with a really good mic that can take an AAA battery. The Rode GO 2 has come close but just a bit too wide for my liking.
Couldn't agree more! I almost ended up purchasing the GO2 but it wasn't the ideal size/dimensions for how I wanted to use it. The perfect device would be a 32bit float audio recorder with the form factor of the Sony TX660, I'd buy that in an heartbeat!
@@i_am_kayode ah okay have you had any issues with FB and insta muting or could u get sued? Apologies I'm starting wedding videography and find music licencing very confusing
@@joshlynas nah personally I haven't had any issues, I don't use FB but instagram would give a warning on upload or remove it if it was an issue I'm sure
@@i_am_kayode I tried the 50 1.2 and found that you need to be be careful shooting wide open the DOF is so small that you could miss the shot if not careful, I ended up buying the Sigma 50 1.4 DG DN ART , probably one of the best lens that I've ever owned
played about with a lot of the settings on FCPX and then over-time I got better at it. Done a lot of listening - tweaking - listening and then hearing it out on laptop speakers and a surround sound set up until I was happy and then created audio presets

Would you say the Tampon 28-75 has a better color / look than the sigma? What are your thoughts? Been trying to figure out which to buy
Tamron has better colour and the Sigma has better sharpness. Depends on what is more important, I’m always torn between the 2
This is so amazing. Do you grade your footage via Davinci resolve?
Heya Alex, thank for the kind words. I'm currently using FCPX + Color Finale 2 to grade but I'm transitioning over to Davinci Resolve this year
