28 Questions with Kraig Adams Creator of Wedding Film School

[@jettslanding8823]

I would just like to say thank you! I started shooting wedding films for fun and realized how much I enjoyed it. I have only shot three weddings and they are nothing worth talking about. Watching your videos has made me want to do better and make cinematic wedding videos. My next wedding is May 20, 2017. I have ordered lots of things I did not have like sliders. I'm still in the early stages and investing what I can each wedding. So with all that being said I would like to say thank you once again for making me take a different look at what it means to be a film maker specifically a wedding film maker. Never stop!

[@pembridgehouse]

Thanks Kraig. I really appreciate what you are doing and so get what you are doing.I am a retired stills wedding photographer(now 70). In 2000 ,and just before, my son and I started having a go at wedding videos to compliment the stills. We invested "big " money, about $6000 in SVHS equipment.Then graduated to a Canon XL1 mini dv camera and thought it was the greatest thing. My son Daniel was becoming very good at weddings but developed a health problem which meant he could not work on his feet for long periods.To cut a long story short he joined the AFTRS(Australian Film Radio and Television School) and ended up working in the motion film industry doing digital artistry on Hollywood films.He is still doing that.I am happily retired and doing some occasional teaching of photography. I enjoy your relaxed style which can only come with knowing what you are doing. I know that often people doing this stuff learn how to look cool even if they are quite tense.Things like sliders I had never seen in action until I started watching your channel.Very clever. Keep up the good work. geoff.

[@gardenrich7]

I've watched your progression over the last 18 months, and your videos have helped influence my new wedding film studio. Keep up the good work.

Hi Kraig. Thank you so much for making this video. This interview answered the questions I always wanted to ask.

[@maf3695]

I'm happy you did your channel has help me a ton! Plus the others you've had on your channel did too. thank you!

[@theTechNotice]

Nice video Kraig, can't wait to see your next upload/ wedding film!

[@gretabikelyte5640]

Hi Kraig, just saying that I do not fall to any of the types of subscribers, I am not even close to being a filmmaker or I do not even have anything to do with wedding industry. And the thing, which brought me here and kept me watching was curiosity of how your craft is done AND your charisma. I needed to see only one video to hook me up. Anyway man, cheers and keep up the good work!

[@carstencroessmann]

You are right when you say quality goes up when the quantity goes down. Maybe I hire you for my daughter's wedding here in Germany no worries it'll take a couple years from now. Rgds Carsten from Germany

[@HowDo-YouDo]

I've been watching you for a while and you have been so helpful with your bts stuff. Thanks for all your help.

[@jaimejrking]

wow! presidente beer! from DR!

[@bruceebe]

Please hold some workshops in STL. Im so ready to go full time.

[@theFATEfactory]

From vlogs to BTS, thank you for always sharing your story and insight. As a pro, it's great just knowing that we're not alone in feeling how we feel about shooting and editing and all the pressures that go along with it. Cheers from the Bay!

[@marrinersonmuck2662]

Hey Kraig. I shot my first wedding video last weekend and would love to take it up full time. Just found your channel and it's my go-to place for educating myself. Many thanks, Dean

[@mitchellaustin]

I had to watch that wedding video in class one year! Wylot loved it so much. Thank you for teaching me couple things. Even though I don't do wedding videos, I picked up a few things.

[@Somecooltech1]

You are doing such a good job Kraig. I watched your behind the scenes video it was really entertaining. It was one of the only full hour videos I've ever watched on YT. You are a master of time management. I'm a KZbinr too and I don't' know how you function creating a behind the scenes while you are filming something so time sensitive as a wedding. Keep up the good work.

[@pepemelo8772]

Kraig representing with that dominican beer.

[@Kirbywinson]

[@anneesteban5595]

Great video Kraig! Nice to hear the future of WFS is bright and going strong! Looking forward to more BTS. P.S. For some reason, felt strange watching without you looking into the camera. But probs because I'm so use to watching your vlogs 👍

[@jmsdfilms]

Dude! I just shot my 2nd wedding for this year. Before I shot it, I watched the Stephanie + Julian and used your set up during the ceremony and made it so easy! Thanks for this!

[@1biu837]

Everything you do is great and you are recording, I learned a lot from that. Thank you very much :)

[@briano58]

Enjoyed that very much so informative fandabydozzy👍👍👍👍

[@highmotion4289]

hi, do i necessary need a laptop with 4k screen to edit 4k smoothly ?

[@sobolevskys]

Hi Kraig. You give people exactly what they need !! Even the end of this video ;) How technically did You do a interview . Good luck for the future

[@locovidepro]

Hey Kraig, I have just download the free trial for the Media Zilla. It looks easy to use and the price seams reasonable. I'll let you know how it work for me. Also the Monopod you use for one of the weddings I think i will get my self one for sure. Always thought about that but now that you made this video, I can see that works just great. Thank you for the great work with your videos. Jorge JN Creative Videos LLC.

[@WeddingFilmSchool]

You're very welcome. Thank you.

[@ilaka1556]

you're the BEST.

[@locovidepro]

Great video Kraig, very encouraging. I think I am at the 3d category of wedding videography and I am looking for more ways of creating our videos always different than before. Thank you again for what you do.

[@ManOfCulture__]

Hey Kraig from where do you draw your inspiration ?

[@minhpham7880]

You the man Kraig

[@AlleganyMedia]

[@jonathanbates8742]

Check out Masters in Motion!

[@screammachineman]

When will the website be back up?

[@Eric_Rossi]

Obviously well deserved success man

[@markzola8142]

I film around 45-50 weddings a year and would love to have one of my video's on your channel,i started wedding video's because of yourself

[@1NATURELOVERJ]

I shot a wedding recently with a DJ I had never worked with before. After I edited the film and used the audio that I recorded through the DJ's system, the audio was fine playing back on my computer. But when the bride played it back on her phone, the audio from the DJ sounds like a mouse, or some other language. I tried to convert the audio to a different codac, but it didn't help. Any suggestions? Thanks. Jay

[@jackpaton1817]

You need to change the audio to mono. If you have two channels exactly the same, they cancel each other out on a phone. Change the Audio to a dual mono track and it will work fine.

[@1NATURELOVERJ]

Jack Paton Do I drop one channel or combine? Thanks.

[@jackpaton1817]

What program are you using? I'll send a tutorial.

[@jackpaton1817]

Drop one channel. If in Final Cut, just select the audio source and change it to "dual mono". If on something else, drop one channel, then, so that it comes through both Left and Right channels you need to copy the same audio clip and paste it to a track directly underneath the other. Set one of the audio clips to 100% Left and the other 100% Right. Hope this helps. If you get stuck, I can send a tutorial from youtube, depending on what program you're using.

[@1NATURELOVERJ]

Jack Paton. Amazing, and simple. Who knew smart phones were mono. All of the toasts were that way. I love easy fixes. I use Sony Vegas, but similar process. Thank you big time.

[@theaustins8088]

love your channel!!! also super WEIRD question- but if a wedding has an open bar do you ever grab a drink? just curious if that's acceptable or not while on the job.

[@MsTessG]

A professional will never drink on a job. Even if 99% of the people there think it's fine, that 1% who think you less professional for it will be a lost opportunity for you to gain their business. Never do it.

[@MSletsplayer96]

Nice Video!

[@makatron]

Dat casual presidente beer tho

[@DeTeeko]

I'm a mixed between second and third type of people :))

[@ricomolden]

Thank you soooo much!!! Your channel has played a huge role in my wife and I having quit our jobs over a year ago to pursue full-time wedding film making. We're into our second wedding season in San Diego, CA and are happy to say it's going good! Keep up the good work; your channel rocks!!!! www.evensparrowfilms.com
