I’m sorry Steve…. ha ha

Sometimes I do forget to pay attention how to translate my thoughts in english. That boldness statement was only as a statement for the sensationalist kind of scoops. And if this keeps not making sense don’t waist anymore of your time…

By the way….

The wedding was a couple of weeks ago and for what I know they’re still married! Ha Ha Ha

I shoot all in manual and to aid the setting of WB I used a set of warm cards…….. everything went ok

Txs for your suggestions

ciao

Rick!

I like the idea of toggle between the two modes just to make sure. I’m ok with iris, depth of field, exposure etc, prob more from a photography point of view more then the camera. I had some doubts about the ZEBRA equivalent of: I hope I’m making myself understood
In the end I’ll be able to fix few things in post that’s for sure.

Although I’m getting paid for, it’s more of an experiment. A year also ago I wrote and shoot/edited a low budget short film and believe it or not the story evolved around a wedding ceremony, and the dress came out ok but as I said before in short films yuo can have more then one take …. ha ha ha
Nonetheless I really apreciate your time and very clear explanations

Best Regards
Antonio

Thank you once again for your very helpfull suggestion.

I may have explain myself not as good as I would have like it. My understanding was that to put it in a couple of words:

Work for the whites and if I need to pull out detail on faces I sure can do that in post, but you have raised another interesting point “the audio”. And the photographer won’t even let me have or ask to put a radio mic on anyone from the priest to the groom….. I think he wants keep control to show the Photographs as the best job, leaving the video as a secondary not very important job if you know what I mean…………….
well that why I love to make short films and not work full time in the industry… ha ha ha

I have a question if you woudn’t mind give me your angle on it.
For some strange reason I have agreed (peer pressure)to shoot a wedding!!!! Just the thought it makes me uneasy (don’t know why) maybe the fact that there’s no chance for take 2 etc, or even better…
……… You know what I mean.
One crucial thing its exposure off course and this time I’ll go on 70% ZEBRA as suggested to me earlier on then pull the mids out in post, my next point to avoid is the out of focus situation, I’m sure I will have time to put on focus but I thought that I may use the autofocus for that never to miss moment …. Maybe this it’s only “FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN”…….. ha ha ha

Because of the nature of the project I new that I was going to run into trouble sooner or later and thats why I posted few questions in a couple of forums. I was aware of the issues because I do work full time for the fashion house that organised the event. Put it this way the premises were not to my knowledge the best location for this kind of event. To give you an idea it was all black from stage to the catwalk. I was there well ahead of time to set up the camera and to some WB from different locations and after talking to the guys running the consol and lighting I was at first confident that I was ok…. big mistake bacause when the show started the lighting was completely different and midway through the show I had to gurd the camera against the guests. To many people where allowed in for such small place anyway nonetheless I LOVED IT no matter what it was fantastic I shot almost 60 min of tape and to unswer your question in manual. I managed to salvage only part of it but thats good enough because on the dvd I’ll use some of the photos done by the official photographer, so I’m very happy with it! The following weekend I was out shooting the making of a portfolio for a model and it was all out doors and I had some minor issues. I had the ZEBRA set to 95 IRE but in my next job I’ll follow up the suggestions from Rick and work indoors with ZEBRAScat 70 and outdoors on 110 and workout some details in post. Eric let me apologise if I took way to long to unswer your question but I wanted to give you a better picture of the situation.

It made perfect sense thank you for your suggestions!

I need to keep in mind that HDV can be a bit tricky sometimes. I’ve just showed the clips to the photographer and he was very impressed, Oh well to loose 5 or 10 secs of tape because of a overexposed t-shirt its not the end of the world

thanking you again
