Awesome stuff guys!..yes that would be great to see for Justin's BTS..the perspective from one end to the other type of "styles" and "setup".."solo" and "non solo" weddings..thanks guys!..
Yooo I'm about to shoot like 3 weddings completly solo and I was looking for some new video about this and look at what comes to my feet. Thanks Matt you always come with amazing content. Keep doing bts!
I loved watching this style video. do it more often what lights did you use on the inside of the venue.. I learned a lot from you over the years thanks
No way! haha I JUST made my Solo Wedding kit video a few days ago for Photography. I can't to drop my Solo wedding kit for videography this Friday! love it! Hopfully one day I ill bring someone with me to shoot my solo BTS!
some interesting things I noticed: I've never really seen Matt outside of TH-cam on a real shoot but it's pretty grounding to see him just be another guy that films weddings. If I'm hearing this correctly during the DJ setup he's needing a 1/4 to XLR cable that he literally collabs with Kondor Blue to sell but doesn't carry with him on his weddings days?.. I was surprised to see him not match the color temp of the ambient light in the venue. idk if the lights he was using were only daylight balanced but I think it would've made the video nicer to not have mixed lighting if I'm the one lighting up the dance floor. I can't believe Matt doesn't use timecode when he's peers with Justin Porter. Only using Tascam DR-10s with the original lav mic is crazy to me considering how many subscribers Matt has and yet hasn't invested back into his business on the audio end. Even something like the Deity PR-2 with the Deity W.Lav Pro would be a major improvement over the DR-10s in terms of battery life, ergonomics, and quality. It was kinda nice to hear he was using f/4 glass to film a wedding to eliminate some G.A.S but I'm on the side that the f/2.8 would improve the visual quality of a wedding film due to the extra stop of light. I understand going with a light setup but I'm more on the Justin Porter side of things where I will go through any means to deliver the best quality possible. Overall these are just observations and thoughts to open up some discussion and I really liked this behind the scenes video seeing real videographers at work instead of another "no money exchanged hands" gear review.
I also primarily shoot alone so this video was insanely relevant lol. It's literally impossible to have a wedding without at least one curveball (Mini 3 Pro took a swan dive last week, DJ was a no show before that). Single locations are a life saver. Have you found any solution on location for bad light flicker/banding? I've had a few especially bad ones that no amount of editing (and I did straight up frame by frame tracking/depth mapping/relight on one) can fix. The one I just shot had string lights all over that had an insanely slow flicker, so I blasted the entire room with my Stella Reflex which helped, but really isn't ideal for the Iowa crowd that gets mad at the sun being in the room.
I am solo 9/10 weddings yet here I am watching this :) Proof that great content is King and everyone wants to spend time with Matt’s beard! :)
This is the collaboration I’ve been waiting for 😂
By far, the best bts ever. You two are the best duo on TH-cam!
This is an amazing video!!! Love y’all’s personalities. It’s great.
Matt Johnson, curing our imposter syndrome one video at a time.
Thanks for all that you do!
matt loves justin and vice versa. love stories are always beautiful

The Ultimate duo Matt and Justin! y'all need to do more videos together
This was a very fun video

NICE. What I learned from this was, Don't stress, and complete the objective

"I hope I'm not parked illegally" has to be the most relatable comment in this whole video 😂
10/10 video. We need episode 2. BTS for Justin.
Also how was the vendor meal? We need vendor meal reviews at least 15mins 😂
I was smiles throughout! Loved this! More please!
We need more of this duo. This is so awesome love it
Who can afford to hire a second? I only shoot alone. Plus you're never alone when you have a photogra- I can't say that with a straight face 🤣🤣🤣
I love this collaboration.
I did a wedding photo and video + livestream by myself with a drone flying while the bride walks down the aisle.. i think that was my limit..
Complete gem of a video. ❤❤ thank you
Matt! How hard is it to balance that lens on the gimbal? Does it go crazy when you zoom in?
No way! haha I JUST made my Solo Wedding kit video a few days ago for Photography. I can't to drop my Solo wedding kit for videography this Friday! love it! Hopfully one day I ill bring someone with me to shoot my solo BTS!
great stuff! super helpful. did you really need that gimbal tho? those handheld shots looked great.
Awesome! Great tips!
Won't need time code for long. My editing software already can sync clips using AI

Can the the gimbal handle zooming in and out or you’re just using it for one focal length and then turning the gimbal off for another?
please provide me with your settings for your rs3 mini. mine sucks so bad, i rather go handheld.
What's the lens on your gimbal my man?
How many batteries did you go through on your A camera for the whole day?
This is legitimately my goal lol. Where is the final edit so I can use it with couples as an example?!
Was speaking about the bathtub. Also Cheetah stands are life-changing.

Hey which camera did you use?
He is using the A7S3.
at first I thought this said how to film your own wedding video....lol. that would be quite the feat.
What did you use to strap the mic to here thighs
remember folks... don't drug and film
The title of this video is redundant 😮
