Just joined from Justin's recent live, scrolling through the community page got me inspired already. 

I'm Tony, mainly a street photographer at the moment, but I've done a lot of photo/video work throughout the years. I shoot on a Canon m6 mkii, not the best kit but it gets the job done. I'll add some of my fav pics to this post, but if you wanna see most of my work, its on my IG. 

This year I'm trying to take it more seriously, and branch out more into making content. Unfortunately, I had a pretty costly incident in may last year, It cost me my job, and I might have to sell my camera to pay rent this month, but hey, thats just life, there's always a way. If anyone needs some remote video editing, I'm very capable. I don't have much examples besides what I have posted online, but I'm happy to cut up a draft for free so you can judge if I'm a good fit. I've been using Davinci, Capture One, and Affinity for years. 

Besides all that, I'm glad to be a part of this community, and getting to know you all better. Looking forward to making some new internet friends. 

Hope you're all happy and healthy and ready for success in 2025. Lets GOOOO!

Need some advice. I’m looking to get into lav audio recording, personally I don’t have $1k to drop on 4 recorders, 4 lavs, and a TC box since I’m saving for my own wedding. However, from last year I got the rode wireless pro. I could get another rode wireless go and their TRS splitter so I can Mic 4 people up for audio. Unless someone has a better idea because I’m researching and struggling to find a good solution that does not break the bank. I like the idea in slowly investing in good gear however, I might have 3 more shoots this year that are 4-6 people so I don’t have a clear direction. TYIA

I recently had the chance to work with Justin in Texas, and it completely changed my approach to capturing events. The importance of soundbites really clicked. I incorporated that into my latest film, and it’s poppin’ off here in Maine. I couldn’t be more proud. Huge thanks to Justin for showing me the way!

Hiring Freelance Editor (Narrative/Reality TV Style Weddings)

Hey everyone!

We're looking to scale this year and the first order of business is to hire an editor per project. At this moment we just need someone to sort footage and create teaser trailers. 

Any questions? Let me know and I'd love to jump on a call or text to give more details.

How do you all handle the RAW footage question? (Do you give all of the raw footage)

  1. I've had a few couple asking if they'll get the entire footage of everything. (Entire ceremony from walking in to walking out and the entire reception.)

It sounds more like they just want a camera on a tripod in the back that's consistently rolling. 

2. How do you all handle that if you do. Because converting a terabyte of BRAW to MP4 sounds like a pain lol especially if you have to sync 16 different microphones to each appropriate clip 😂

This is one wedding for the books. Legit the BEST couple to bring 3 academy members to. Sydney Hsieh Neil Omega Richard Manuofetoa
Just shocked the heck out of me. The hustle and work ethic was just insane. Yall the real mvps of the day. I know it was supposed to be a learning opportunity but I learned that what I’m teaching is working. Best feedback for me was seeing yall run the style like second nature. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
