I just want to say thank you to everyone in here who gave me advice going into my first wedding of the year and the first in this reality tv style. The couple absolutely loved it. I think it came out pretty good but watching Justin’s films I know I still have a lot of learning and growing to do 😂 thank y’all again for calming me down a bit and building me up going into it helped a lot. If you have any spare time and would like to watch it and give me some constructive criticism I’d appreciate it!

So this is my first trailer for my first ever reality tv style wedding film. I think I did a good job with the story telling of it but I am not thrilled about my camera work at all lol. They love it so I guess that’s what really matters. Maybe because I compare it to Justin’s I don’t know. I’m trying to do the best I can with my Panasonic g7 until I can upgrade. So please give me tips and constructive criticism on how to get the most out of my camera please. PS - Ik I didn’t hide mics well. I was panicking because I didn’t have leg straps and I didn’t want to take much of their time so I just threw them on but I will be better about that in my next one for sure. It cuts off the last 11 seconds but you get it 😂

Update on the day: I had my first mishap of the year. I went to set up my drone last and realized my cable to connect the controller to my phone was missing so I figured no big deal I’ll buy one before I get there. Bought the wrong cord 🤦‍♂️ and no store around has it, so no drone shots today. My heart hurts 😂

It’s late and I hope someone sees this lol. I’m going to film my first wedding of the year and the first one I’ve ever filmed in this documentary style tomorrow. I’m so nervous 😂 I’m going in with my camera, gimbal, drone, and a DIY light diffuser and reflector, and 2 deity pr2s. That being said what’s some last minute tips or advice to go into tomorrow with to feel more comfortable?

Edit: I had a realtor friend message me and said to put together a promotional video that she could send to her realtors and post in a realtor group. The only problem is I haven’t done any home tours to make a promotional video lol what should I do?

Hey yall, I’m looking for ideas for services I can provide to raise funds for better equipment. My main focus is obviously weddings, but what are some small things I could do to make quick cash for equipment upgrades? I posted in a bunch of groups earlier offering to do home walk through videos for realtors but haven’t received any response. Any advice helps!

Pr-2’s came in! Outside of my camera, I have never spent much money on equipment. I vowed to take my business more serious this year and this is the first step. I’m excited to see what God does and how far I’ve progressed by the end of the year!
