Great stuff, love this

[@LouisLuzuka]

You really helping me 😮

Its good to see a guy who like perfection on his work. Can I just suggest a thing ? What about mattebox for direct light to avoid also direct light ?

[@isaacbarroww]

I’ve thought about this! I’m always trying to find the balance between a professional rig, while also staying light and maneuverable while also not intimidating my couple with some monstrous rig. Maybe I’ll look into it though

THANKS - GREAT TIPS

this could not be more perfect timing! literally just shot a wedding yesterday & looking into the best ways to edit it 😆

[@isaacbarroww]

Awesome!! Biggest advice would be to focus on the story of the couple. If you were able to capture audio from vows, ceremony, speeches, etc, use it up!! Keep things simple and let the story of their wedding tell itself :)

[@karagracedr]

@@isaacbarroww I was! Helped second shoot with a friend & came out with amazing b-roll & insanely clean audio from all of it (ceremony, speeches, vows, first look). So excited to get started with it all & use it to help tell the story!

Great video and I'm sending encouragement to keep creating these! 🙌🏿🙌🏿 That being said, respectfully I disagree with your shutter crank comment. Because those real-time shots you used definitely looked shutter crank 😂 You can only slightly tell the difference on tripod or gimbal shots played in real time (not slow motion). Once you go hand-held on a small camera like the Fx3, or if there's not a ton of movement from the subject, motion blur kinda goes out the window. And thanks for your input on the diffusers, I've been considering getting them for a while but 1) I have 3 cameras which means I need to get at least 3 filters and 2) I had that same concern, about my backlit shots losing too much contrast and I didn't want to be fiddling with those in important moments.

[@isaacbarroww]

Thanks for the comment! Those were all shot at 60fps with a shutter speed of 1/125. So to your point- yes, they aren’t going to be as smooth as 24fps & 1/50. It is nice to have a filter that lives on each lens permanently, but you could definitely get a filter large enough to cover all thread sizes of the lenses you own and then just buy cheap step up rings for each lens. Not the most convenient but definitely budget friendly!

love the beanie mic too LOL

[@mex5341]

3 key things : Audio! 2-3 cameras coverage! focusing on real things/emotions , not cliche

[@isaacbarroww]

These are a solid 3 as well!

[@LouisLuzuka]

U using 35mm a cam fx3 what’s on the b cam? 😮 it’s the fx30 right 😮 what lens and mic are you using and do you handheld or gimbal or sticks 😅

[@isaacbarroww]

I have a tamron 28-75 on the fx30 but actually a lot of these shots were on my 35mm and the fx3. Some of them were on a 50mm or an 85 as I was second shooting for someone else!

[@isaacbarroww]

These are all handheld as well!

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@isaacbarroww incredible

[@emmamyers2072]

don’t your socks normally have holes like that anyway🤔

[@irisgreenwell7237]

I think you should concentrate in your work and stop critizing others. It looks pity on you. A good communicator do that.

[@isaacbarroww]

Thanks for the insight iris :)
