This is my first wedding video shot with Canon DSLR cameras. I used two 7D and one 5D mkII. Lenses was all Canon L or Zeiss ZE lenses.
I started of six months pre wedding day to capture some of the things the couple were doing in preparations. A month before the wedding I did an interview with them and the whole concept is to have them tell the viewer about themselves and people around them tell.
As this job was to try out the concept I learned alot during the process. I started of shooting with Canon 7D cameras and got the 5D2 late in the game. If I would choose one camera to cover a wedding with, it would be the 5D2. Nothing bad about the 7D but there is something very beautiful about 5D2 images.
I did both still and video and this proved to be somewhat stressful to get both stills and video where I wanted it to be. Nevertheless I enjoyed making it and have tons of experience from such a day.
I used many of my gadgets. My selfmade skate dolly, two different camera sliders, Manfrotto monopod and tripods, Juicedlink preamps, Sennheiser and Audio Technica microphones, JAG35 cage and stuff I can't remember. A monopod and decent head is the most used support I've used and it's just so great and versatile to use. It's light and small, doesn't get in the way and takes the stress out of hand held shooting. I have dipped my toes into steadicam but I don't feel at easy with the complex setup. Maybe an easy one like Merlin will suit me fine.
Avid MC was used to edit it together and final output was PAL DVD. Everything shot in 1080p25.
