Here Comes the Super Wedding Videographer!

There was a lot of my mind when I was at the gym. I couldn’t figure it out, but I was distracted despite having a tough leg day today. I think it was because I just left my job recently and was trying to figure out what to do with myself. It wasn’t until I opened my locker, and it dawned on me: I want to be a wedding videographer!

I realized I have the creative talents to be a good one. When the creative juices flow in the brain, I get the most awesome stuff that I can produce and make money on. So why not give wedding videography a hand. I can certainly make cinematic videos like this one:

I’m confident I’m talented enough in taking great video clips and pictures, so I’m confident I can convert my skill into a flourishing business. Lots of people (and in the case of NYC - the rich folk) really like to make a splash on their wedding day, so they employ professional wedding photographers and videographers. 

What started as a hobby taking photographs of the Berlin Wall has morphed into a love for cinema. I mean don’t get me wrong. I’d always wanted to shoot something like Pulp Fiction, but I gots to work on my videography “skillz” first if I wanna make it. And no I ain’t stupid enough to buy a $5K camera just to have it. So what’s the better way to marry (get it?) my creative juice and long-term interests? Let’s say it altogether now - be a wedding videographer.

You need good cameras for wedding videography

As a videographer you are not just offering folks a product but you are offering your professionalism and reliability and therefore you should let them see equipment that they don’t have and would not understand how to use. You would like the curiosity to be created as you whip out your kit. This is also true for videography.

Once you purchase your kit, try to combine devices that might be adequate for your shooting tasks. To begin with, you want a great digital camera for wedding videography. If guests from wedding party use a much better camera than you, go home. Chances are that they realize it and definitely will educate your customer. Depart swiftly and silently.

The digital camera needs to be of the level which professional experts use. The model and make certainly are your personal choice and make sure you completely research your options prior to spending large amount of cash. From Web forums and specialized websites, you can get every piece of information that you require. Go for quality and keep in mind you get what you buy. This needs to be your greatest expense.

Once you’ve got the goods, then you can shoot top shelf stuff like this:

Cinematic wedding video

The most significant key to an unforgettable cinematic wedding video would be to convey the great story and there will not be any better story than a special day like the wedding day in your life! The key to finding the right wedding videographer is to locate someone who are able to use their artistry to catch your special moments and turn them into a classic story.

Your cinematic wedding video catches the tiniest details by making use of top quality equipment that gives your motion picture that professional quality touch by using High Definition video cameras.

Your cinematic wedding video will capture a large range of activities that occur on your big day from your bride planning to scenarios of the nuptials as well as friends in the wedding reception.

Gone are the Days of Bulky cameras for wedding videography

For videography, some wedding videographers use DV camcorders like Sony’s PD150 or VX 2000, Canon’s  XL1 as well as GL2, or Panasonic’s 3-chip camcorder like AG-DVX100. 

Today the product quality is improved a lot and most importantly, the weight of the video camera is very less nowadays. Videographers have the ability to be more creative with the more compact devices compared to what they had a few years ago. Now you need not carry large expert-style camcorder to earn good money. Actually, many customers like the more compact devices over the bulky ones, since they are less obtrusive.

Nonetheless, unless you have sufficient resources to get the most advanced equipment, it is better to purchase a top quality video camera that is certainly not costly. What you ought to know when buying cameras for wedding videography is the features that will enable you to deliver outstanding videos to impress your customers. I will recommend two amazing cameras for wedding videography:

Sony A7S II - When you do not have enough money but still want to start your business (shown in picture above - see how slim and cool it is?) 

Sony FS7 - When you don’t care about cost.

Sony A7Sii

The Sony A7S II is one of Sony’s finest camera. It’s quick and can shoot even at night-time. It’s so sensitive that I can see much more detail at night by means of its sensor along with f/4 lenses than I could see with my eyes! Besides, it appears much better than what I could actually see with naked eyes.

 The Sony A7S II is the advanced version of A7S. It has completely new sleek body, enhanced autofocus, and tons of new features, which makes the A7S II THE top choice for any kind of shooting needs even at dark places.

 Cost: You are able to buy Sony A7S II for under $3,000 USD. 

Sony FS7

What happens if you constructed a camera from scratch for long term and hand held capturing needs? What will happen if you have restructured its body to make it more comfortable? Now what if, it has been given 45 sensor unit and 4K resolution. It will be nothing but the Sony’s PXW-FS7. It’s the ideal camera for wedding videography, documentaries, TV shows, business video clips, Hollywood blockbusters and much more.
