"I've got my A7s iii as a backup" haha words I didn't think I'd hear so soon XD
😂😂 technology is advancing too fast
hahahahaha. Me watching this video with my a7II 🥲🥲
@@whoismatt what made you switch?
@@seriouzfilmz9397 was just trying out the a7iv. I still use the a7siii
@@whoismatt I assume you'd only go with the a7iv over the a7siii for photos?
Watching these before filming a wedding is key. I feel like my confidence is through the roof. Thanks so much for your work Matt. You're so important to the industry!!!
I love watching behind the scenes of people doing weddings I also film weddings along with a bunch other types of videos and it’s fun to see how other people film! That’s how we learn right! Great video man
so i shot one wedding a month ago and have another one this weekend, i ALWAYS come visit your channel for INSPIRATION...and a little humor great stuff Matt, this one the bride and groom are leaving in a HORSE AND BUGGY!!
WOW!!! You made everything so easy and natural.
That first look at the canyon ... wow just wow. What a location ! i'm stuck at Banqeuting halls as a predominantly south asian videographer. And our weddings we get about 30 mins for the couple shoot during a massive feast with 300+ guests.
loved it matt and reachel!! stoked for part 2
That first look at the canyon gave me chills, what a beautiful location! Great job Matt and crew
Thanks! Yup it’s a really pretty place
Gorgeous places to film weddings
I've just bought a7IV and after watching this I can't wait for my next wedding. Looking forward for part 2.
Nice one, Thanks. I just tried something people might be interested in, I have recently been using my follow focus on my DJI Ronin RSC2 to zoom in and out on my Tampon 28-70 and it works fantastic!!! Much better than having to hold the camera and zoom in or out while on a gimbal. It was always a hassle having to either turn off the gimbal or hold the camera while trying to zoom in or out. I am totally thrilled now shooting with my zoom lens and cannot believe I did not try this years ago...
Best BTS ever! Thank you!
Thanks so much for this great video, Matt. Will find my inspiration from it for my first hybrid (photo and video) wedding ...
Great work, Matt!
Matt the legend! learning so much from u and Rachel ...bro! Thank you!
Great behind the scenes Matt! thank you for sharing
love your stuff, Matt!
Thanks!
Hello Matt! I think the groom will watch this backstage video of the actual wedding film a lot more! It is engaging
Great BTS. Loved it!
Best tutorial
Everything about this 100%
Thank you for sharing with us :)
Thanks!
Man, I am glad I found your channel.
Great video man!
i love this
Muy buen trabajo Matt !
Saludos desde Uruguay!
Really good work!
Greetings from Uruguay!
That shot of her in the minute 9:48 is real fire at I love it !
This was so much fun! I get that the the groom was your friend(?) and it takes a lot to make a BTS like this but man I hope you can make more of these in the future.
Thanks! Planning on more in the future
And how can we call these guys professional photographers and videographers?
I really loved this episode Matt. Keep doing the good work.
This is actually better than watching a movie 😄😄,
Matt its always fun watching you film.
Thanks so much! 😁
Great bts video thanks a lot Matt! What's your think tank bag on your back? Seems a good option...
Muy bueno !!
Thanks Matt for this video, but i want to ask why you use high ISO while i can see the place is crazy shine and you use f2.8? .. thanks in advance
Hey Matt, do you ever use a tool like a colourchecker/exposure calibration chart in your work? II guess there's no point/time in a run and gun situation right.
Fabulous video and wedding :-)
Amazing
Hey i recently got the a7iv and my question is wouldn’t i want to basically always shoot in 10bit ? Besides maybe something small like vlog? I would just think i got this nice camera don’t you want the best capabilities? Thanks Matt love your videos they help me so much .
Matt really enjoy your videos.
I'm predominantly a photographer who's starting to shoot video. Would be great to have a bit of voice over from you on these videos describing the technical settings of camera etc, why you have shot this screen in 60fps etc, just a thought! Great video and really informative. Keep Em coming!
GREAT VIDEO!
Nice work! Don't you feel uncomfortable not using a monitor or do you have a reason not to use it? Thanks!
Love this BTS !!
Sorry i've posted 3 time the same question, but it's about my Sony A7IV as well.
Which SD cards have you used please ?
Thanks a lot !
Hey Matt, love your videos. What wide angle lens do you recommend for A7IV for gimbal work for use in 4K 60 Super35 mode?
Sony 16-35 f2.8
Great video! I have sony alfa 7 Iv how the lens are Zeiss vs G master any major differnces ?
Fun video. Enjoyed 👍😁
Thanks Todd!
always good stuff
Been loving your tiktoks/shorts/reels lately
@@whoismatt they are about you 😉
Hi, I love your videos. I am also Sony user with Sony A7s3 and A7M4 in Australia. I just want to know which ND filters you use for outdoor shoot. I am using Hoya Variable ND filters. But i feel that decrease sharpness in video.
Great video as always! Was the footage recorded in XAVC HS or S-I ?
Hey Matt, I'm learning so much from you.
Thanks so much for sharing.
One thing I notice is that your wedding days go so quickly, and then I heard you say it's 6 o'clock, wow.
Would it be possible to put a clock in the bts so we can see the time it took from one part to the next, something it's hard to follow.
I’ll def look into doing that in the future!
Great idea!
I was about to ask if Matt uses an ND filter
Hello sir could you tel me witch lens i choose for a7iv 4k 60fps crop to cover 4k 60fps full frame without loosing resolution?
Hi Matt, I love your videos. I am also Sony User with FX3, A7siii and A7IV. My question is i seen in this video ISO 12800 on Sony A7IV as most of people say 800 & 3200 is base and high iso. Please suggest me what iso numbers are good while shooting indoor in low light situation with Sony A7IV, A7Siii & FX3. I will appreciate your positive response. Love from Australia
Wouldn't the Sony FE 24-70 mm work just as good as the 16-35 mm for the 60fps crop if you used the 24mm?
Great video! What kind of focus do you use when using the gimball, automatic or manual? I wanted to buy an a7siii, now I have doubts. Do you recommend I go on the a74? which one would you recommend to record documentaries?
Usually autofocus. If you do mostly video get the a7siii. If you do photo too get the a7iv
I love Canyon Texas and still love here! Beautiful work brother!!! Hope you got some good tacos while you were in town 🌮
Thanks so much! I had pony express burritos while I was there and they blew my mind
@@whoismatt nice!!! If you’re ever in town again HMU 🤙 and we will go on a film excursion… I know some crazy cool looking places besides Palo Duro Canyon 😎
Matt, have you considered video cameras such as the FS5/7/FX3 as you would be able to shoot all day on one battery and have XLR ins etc. ?
I considered buying an fx3 but I already owned the a7siii and it was so close
Thank you for the behind the scenes look at how you filmed your wedding video !
I wanted to ask if you had any overheating issues with the a7iv while filming your videos ? I'm not sure what the temperature were in Texas, but it sure looked hot enough to really work the camera !
No overheating issues :)
Great work! Enjoyed watching the video, I am almost in your shoes, lol I just got my Sony a7IV and for now the Tamron 28-75g2. Are you shooting slog3 or scinetone? I realy want to buy the Tamron 35-150…will be my versatile work horse for weddings….
Slog3
@whoismatt I've never filmed a wedding before, but I've been thinking about getting started. How important is it to film the ceremony from start to finish rather than just capturing the vows and a few other clips? For capturing the ceremony, I was thinking about getting something with great autofocus like the a7 IV or even a camcorder like the Canon XA50 to place at the back of the venue and just walk away while I use one of my Micro Four Thirds cameras on a gimbal or handheld (with IBIS, of course) to capture close-up shots that look more cinematic.
I'm just one person, so if I were to capture the whole event, I would need a camera to just walk away from and not have to babysit for autofocus. Is this necessary? If so, is the a7 IV a good candidate for that? I feel like I have two B cameras (Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and Lumix G85) but no A camera for events. There's always the option of upgrading my G85 to a GH5 and getting the XLR adapter, but the video autofocus sucks on both of those cameras. The E-M1 Mark II has better autofocus but also a weak preamp and a 30-minute recording limit. I would probably want to use that one on the gimbal.
The other option is to use my E-M1 Mark II as the A camera and use workarounds for its limitations, especially like an Atomos Ninja Inferno or Blackmagic Video Assist for unlimited recording and XLR input.
What do you think?
I just love the way you talk with the photographers ahahaha
"Please don't be upset with me photographerssssss"
😂😂😂
haha bro i bought one of my cameras and a lot of my lenses from Paul! love the guy. super helpful
Haha awesome!
Lmao what a different vibe from the normal videos. This was awesome!
That ceremony is me at every wedding. Somehow it's ALWAYS chaos
ALWAYSSSSSS
awesome video. Whats the base ISO for Sony a7iv SLOG 3. Someone said its 800 and 3200 for base iso in SLOG 3 and for S-cinetone it is 125 and 500. Is that correct.
800 for SLOG3
Have you filmed this in Slog 3?
Matt all good man! We bought a74 also sigma 24-70 f2,8 art but now we need to do an edit. We need a good editing machine for a desktop or even for a laptop. There are billion of new things going to release the first of February. I am looking forward to seeing your video to guide me to buy my desktop or laptop. Cheers to
Yup waiting til February to see all the new stuff :)
Haha this BTS was hilarious 😂
I’d love to know what AF settings you’re using Matt
Is it on Wide or centre? As I noticed even when you had objects in the foreground the AF didn’t change at all
Wide all day. Watch my a7siii settings video to see specifics :)
Hi Matt, great video as usual. I get my a7iv on Thursday. Can you shoot all day on a 128GB card?
You’ll get over 2 hours on 1 128 card. I would get 2
@@whoismatt or just get 1 256GB card. Does it not accept 256?
Don't you have ring shots? hope for a tutorial for that as well
16-35 gm is such a great lens ... image looks so clean. btw , how do you expose in such run & gun situations where you have to keep the skintones perfect but also the scene ??
Focus on the in camera metering and adjust you shutter speed or use an nd filter to compensation for brightness changes :)
Hello. I have a question: I am from a part of Europe where vows are not so popular, but i am trying to find a way to introduce them by telling the bride and groom to write them down on their phone and send to me and then i print them on a cute design and hand the envelopes to them in the wedding day. I am thinking its easier for them. My question is: Is it ok if the bride reads what the groom wrote to her and vice versa?....their are not like vows per sey but kind of love letters ...perhaps ...
sir your videos are amazing for picture profile . But Please can you make a video on using white balance while shooting in log profile and tips on getting perfect white balance as I find it really difficult to nail it in run and gun situations. Please make a video on it. Thankyou for all your videos they are lifesaver.
Watch my white balance explained video
you make me laugh so much :)))
Hellooo Matt thanks for your BTS! I have a question… why nobody use filter nd at wedding ? Thank you for you answer 🙏
A lot of wedding videographers feel that it takes too much time to use an ND and they will miss a moment
Nice Video!! Is it correct that the A7IV doesnt come with a Version 2 yet? So Its not possible to film prores raw on an atomos ninja v e.g.?
A7iv does not support external raw recording. No idea if sony will add that in the future but I doubt it
@@whoismatt alrightttt, damn it ... plsss sonyyyy xDD
Love that y'all ain't afraid of COVID. Grind those beards together!
Would you say the stabilization is alright on the A7IV? I am used to using Panasonic cameras for video so I would like to know if it looks alright without using a gimbal (gimbals seem to hate me lol)
Active stabilization isn’t bad. Not as good as Panasonic but usable
@@whoismatt that’s all I needed to hear! Thanks Matt!
I was wondering. do you think you could film an entire wedding with a Sony Aiii and just a Sony 16-35mm 2.8? The reason i ask is because its a very good wide lens, Good in low light, but if you flip to Crop mode now your 24-50-55mm F2.8. Do you also record sound on board the camera from a rode mic. or do you plug that into like a H4N or H1?
I’m a fuji shooter, but for sure, that range would totally be ok to shoot a wedding. You got this!
@@AtomicPixel I just sold all my Fuji stuff to get a Sony a7iii and a 16-35mm f2.
@@JifferRiffic haha nice! I have contemplated the a7iv, but I couldn’t step away and snagged up an xt4 for this coming wedding season.
Sony’s are great though. I’m sure you’ll love it!
Yeah, but I don’t think those focal lengths are that cinematic. I personally prefer the longer focal lengths.
No. Tight, close up shots are must . And you can’t always be in everyone’s face. Also. That won’t be 2.8 anymore once you are in crop mode . It will be more like an f4
uow. just a bit of pressure about filming another filmmaker. A great sony comparsion and tips about weddings. By the way, vey funny BTS. Paul and Monica, amazing couple. Thanks Matt
Thanks so much!
good stuff did you shoot auto focus when using the gimbal?
Yes
I am curious. After the teepee(5:30) shot you come to the building shooting 4k30 f3.2 and ISO800. She is shooting same angle and 4k30, f8 and ISO 640. And there are a few other example of big exposure setting differences. I understand you want to "" blow out the shot because of Slog3 but that is a huge difference in two cameras. Have I missed something?
Thanks, I will wait to be amazed. You have taught me so much as I began my journey to Sony.
The aperture difference is probably due to different shutter speeds. Also, Rachel Oftentimes films stopped down because a long lens even at F8 provides a lot of Bokeh
@@whoismatt AAhhh interesting. Something to look into. Thanks.
interesting but as a newbee in sony and video, i expected to see your a74 setup, AF modes,... and how you proceed
What filter were you using for the establishing shots in the beginning?
Revoring
What backup and main lav microphones did you used and what recorders?
Tascam dr-10L and sony voice recorders
What ND filters do you recommend?
Look at prismlensfx nd filters
1. You seem to shoot wide open most of the time. Are you using VNDs? Or do you crank shutter speed?
2. I have the a7siii and riii. I want to ditch the r3 for the IV I’m thinking. I shoot both photos and video for work. How much worse is the LCD screen res, and viewfinder res than the a7siii? This, and the 1.5 4k 60 crop factor are my 2 biggest anxieties about pulling the trigger.
3. What scenarios do you use MF during a wedding?
Thanks Matt!
Crank shutter. Didn’t notice a difference between the screens. Mf for anything where I don’t want focus wandering
@@whoismatt thanks for the reply.
Nobody cares about the lack of motion blur? I don’t use them either- but was considering buying VND. I don’t want to though if unnecessary!
So would you recommend buying the IV as a B cam (or A?!) to my a7siii?
What is this stabilizer you were using. Very cool.

Maybe try decaf on shoot days pal. No seriously, great video. I love seeing the work come together. Q: I've been shooting with a pair of A7III bodies for the last 2-3 of years. I shoot stills (40%) and video (60%). I'm ready to upgrade but I'm torn between just getting a pair of A7IV bodies, or getting one A7IV and one A7SIII. Since you have actual real-world experience with both, I'd love to know your thoughts. Keep up the great work!
They’re both incredibly similar cameras. I’d probably get one of each for the versatility. Also, I don’t drink coffee 😜
@@whoismatt ha - thanks. I just finished an editing job that'll cover the A7IV. That'll be the first purchase. Have a good one!
Why did you film the outside establishing shots of the Tepee, barn and wagon wheel in 30fps?
I prefer how it looks with a subtle slow motion when 30fps is slowed to 24
I just bought the Sony a7 IV and I was wondering if you filmed in auto focus or manual focus.
I used to shoot only in manual focus with my gh5, but I was wondering if the Sony a7 IV auto focus is good enough.
A7iv Autofocus is phenomenal, I used it all day on my gimbal
@@whoismatt awesome! Glad to see that its awesome like that. Thank you for your answer
@@whoismatt what focus area do you use? Wide? Do you ever click on a face on the back LCD to track the person you want?
Waooo, thanks to share this interesting video. I have a question please: I'd like to vuy Sony A7 IV with basic zoom and I need a suggestion from you. I make documentaries around the world and travel alone. So the 2 most important options for me are the low weight and stability of the camera. I only shoot handheld and unfortunately this camera is not very stable like a Panasonic. What could I buy to slightly improve stability? I don't need a gimbal. I had it and sold it. I need something much simpler, smaller and lighter. What exactly do you recommend to buy? Do you advise me to swap Sony for another camera? I don't create panoramas. I only film the traditions of indigenous peoples in remote areas. Please, recommend a trick or something small to be able to better balance the shots so as not to get the blur. Thanks
Buy a Panasonic S5? 🤷♂️
if you shop for a sony camera, would you choose A7IV + a lens or all money for a7Siii ?
If you don’t have the budget for the a7siii get the a7iv :)
@@whoismatt which one you prefer ?
@@DangLeProject92 a7siii
Thank you Matt. Ugh I think I'm finally ready to ditch Canon for Sony and get the a7IV. Canon's R5 and R6 overheat (cmon Canon) and the R5C has no IBIS and is nearly twice the a7IV's price. I can't afford that $2200 16-35 GM yet, any cheaper wides to start with for video? The "FE" lenses are for full frame right? Also what gimbal was that/do you reco?
I think you'll love the a7iv. For gimbals look at the DJI RS2 or RSC. For lenses look at getting a cheaper Sigma 18-35 F1.8 for use in 4K60.
@@whoismatt Thanks! I've had it with Canon providing teases not solutions for budget filmmakers. I'll check those out.
34:36 "love you girl" lol!!!!!!! Can't stop laughing 🤣😂
Matt why you didn't fly your drone at the top while they kissing? That would have been an epic shot!
Did you experience any overheating on the A7IV yet? Lots of people including myself have.
Nope, set the internal heat setting to high and you won’t deal with overheating
what wireless mics did you use outside?
All of mine were non-wireless. The groom was using a Sennheiser AVX
Would love to know what ND you use?
Usually the revo ring nd
Ciao from Italy.
Great video. But dang, that Canyon :o
Yup real pretty!
What framerate were you using? I am assuming you were using manual mode
Do you mean shutter speed? That varied depending on the shot
How could I do this with a single videographer?
