I am a photography and planing to go into Vidergraphy, Bro our video super helpful and definitely boosted my confidence. One Love man

[@AdamWingFilms]

Great to hear, thanks my friend!

[@jnfweddings9566]

I like the wide shot at the ceremony at a low angle I’ll be trying this at my next wedding I just picked up the 85 and one Sony tx650 if it works I’ll be getting a few more I was going to get another dr10L but there 200 apiece anyways love the videos brother keep them coming.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Great to hear dude, keep at it! 👊

[@hinojosfilms]

I always come back to these BTS videos before a shoot to get even more pumped😂 and I have my first solo shoot in a couple days😳 Quick questions, if you have a camera set up in the middle of the aisle like in this video, but you’re at the front with another camera, how do you make sure it isn’t in the way when the bride walks down the isle? Am I missing something lol

[@AdamWingFilms]

Hi lucas, good question. You’re quite right, I would usually position the second camera to the side slightly if it is going to be blocking the bride. Or I would shoot from the back with both if need be

[@aldounico1]

Thank you very much for sharing so much knowledge, personally it helps me a lot to clarify how to do things in wedding filming. Does a consultation always record only weddings? Greetings and many thanks again.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thanks very much! What do you mean by consultation?

[@misstoridanielle30]

Idk how you keep such a steady hand! I use a GH5 and I'm always a little shakey when it comes to handheld

[@AdamWingFilms]

🤷‍♂️ practise I guess, the Sony’s in built stabilisation is brilliant as is the lens, so that does most of the work.

[@ThomasOrmeFilms]

That shot of the two guys walking towards the camera at 05:09 - was that manual focus still? I could watch this stuff all day, thanks so much Adam!

[@AdamWingFilms]

You’re welcome mate, thank you! Yep everything is manual focus 👍

[@whiteblossomfilms]

What backpack are you using?

[@tonymills474]

Good work fella. Do you ever light anything? I film with Professional Sony camcorders but prefer a bit of light. Love your style and relaxed manor. Just filmed 2 weddings Friday & Saturday on my own. Love to see final piece. Cheers

[@AdamWingFilms]

No I just look for natural light and venue lighting to utilise. The Sony a7s low light is so good that it doesn’t bother me. Great stuff man! Drop me an insta message, I’ll link you 👍

[@joemaccabe]

Great video, very helpful! Just wondered why you use the view finder so often? Is it simply to see better? Thanks again!

[@AdamWingFilms]

Hey thanks joe! Yeah I just like to see it better and focus my vision

[@joemaccabe]

Adam Wing - Wedding Filmmaker thanks for replying. I wasn’t sure if there was a more technical reason lol thanks again!

[@sylvestrisstudios]

Just used your Amazon affiliate link for the manfrotto monopod Adam. Saved myself 75 quid. Cheers fella.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Haha brilliant! 👌

[@padeanucristian1326]

Great work Adam! Is it hard to manual focus focus by wire?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thanks a lot for watching! Nah I’m well used to it now, just takes practice

[@ihashup]

Great as always mate. Do you use ND filters at all to maintain a consistent shutter throughout all your shots?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thank you as ever! Nope, I change the shutter speed all the time haha. Wasn’t the brightest day in fairness so didn’t need to go above 1/100 that much

[@DannyB83]

As a wedding photographer I laughed at "we're going to do a confetti shot.......well......the photographer's going to do a confetti shot". Haha aye don't worry fella, we'll just herd those cats for ya! :-) Joking aside, really loving the content man, great work!

[@AdamWingFilms]

Haha! Keep setting up those shots brother and I’ll steal em 😉 thanks mate.

[@christiank.8035]

nice behind the scene video! part of what I like is how you show your creativity by giving us different approach on how you shot every single clip. May I ask the final video edit? Thank you sir!

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thanks a lot my friend! dm me for the link 👍

[@christiank.8035]

@@AdamWingFilmsthanks.. whats dm? 😊

[@AdamWingFilms]

Direct message, I’m on Instagram

[@Spencer_White]

Awesome Adam, more bts!! 😎🤘 Love you're using slimmed down kit. Is that a manf befree for the locked off cam? On handheld - Do you keep IBIS on or off? Sorry for the million Qs 😁😁🤓🤓

[@AdamWingFilms]

Haha will keep em coming! It’s just a manfrotto travel tripod, about £30. Links in the description. IBIS on always 🤟

[@Spencer_White]

@@AdamWingFilms Ah nice one buddy, Yeah I think that is a manf befree I saw in Currys on display the other day, actually pretty stable with a nice footprint. IBIS on? ah nice one, I'll have to work on technique as mine can look boxy when the IBIS has a funny 5mins, think it is me though. On A7iii too, not sure if that is anything to do with it.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Super handy for travelling. Yeah not sure what the a7iii is like tbh..

[@benjamindarren5871]

Lovely video mate - quick question you use tripods for speeches but dont the cameras time out after 30 minutes of recording? Do you reset the recording after every speaker?

[@AdamWingFilms]

The cameras are hacked to go beyond the 30 minute limit, but you could do this also as you say, just reset in between each speech.

[@skyvideographyscotland1922]

Really enjoyed watching this video been looking for a uk type version of wedding film school and this video is very close. Any chance you could lower the background music a bit on the next one would rather be able hear what you say that hear the music. Subbed your channel and sent links to the rest of the Videographers i know cheers.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Hey thanks very much! Glad you found us. Noted r.e the music. Thanks again my friend

[@obsoleteme5637]

If you don't use a head on your monopod, how are you framing up your shots for the ceremony/toasts?

[@AdamWingFilms]

I screw straight onto the monopod and just film a static shot at the height of the mono. Don’t miss the head at all.

[@AlrosAvellana]

For the speech in the church I saw the camera changed angles, was that your camera with the monopod or the camera on the tripod?

[@AdamWingFilms]

The tighter shot was with my monopod, the wide angle on tripod

[@alexandrkabir]

Thanks for video!) You've mentioned at the beginning that set ISO for auto? Was it applied for video as well?) Thanks!

[@AdamWingFilms]

I set my second camera to auto iso for video yes

[@alexandrkabir]

@@AdamWingFilms Thanks, and you've mentioned about white balance (the moment with wedding dress) that you've set auto through out the day constantly. Could you please say few words about... Thanks!)

[@AdamWingFilms]

Alexandr Kabir yes white balance is always set to auto I never change it.

[@ItzEliOfficial]

Shooting my first wedding in a week and a half and I was curious what fps you shoot at (25 and 50 or 24 and 60?)

[@AdamWingFilms]

50fps for everything

[@fotografertop9948]

How to shoot when bride walking to aisle? When using manual focus?

[@AdamWingFilms]

this video should help; kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WYZKhuh6qemc0

[@joshuasegundo1564]

Is a72 good for video?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Yeah it’s solid, does everything you need!

[@andrewlowe492]

When shooting the Ceremony on the monopod are you static (standing still) during the whole ceremony or do you move from side to side to capture the bride's face and the groom's face reaction?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Usually stay static at one side (especially in churches). I only move around to get both if there's an outdoor ceremony or PLENTY of space.

[@AdamWingFilms]

I refer you to this vid; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-9ZamLmap1aMU

[@andrewlowe492]

@@AdamWingFilms Cheers for the reply! Sound advise!

[@Veto_]

Nice shirt mate where did you get that?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Ted baker 🙂

[@jeremyfoster8726]

What's your frame rate for bride walk down? 60fps?

[@AdamWingFilms]

50fps

[@KyeK1207]

Do you use lights Adam?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Nope. I rely on the low light capabilities of the sony.

[@eatmyshorts9339]

do you never use a gimbal?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Nope, just static footage or handheld.

[@robfowler431]

Great piece of work Adam..... do you shoot everything in 1080p and if so what frame rate?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Yes 1080p, 50fps.

[@robfowler431]

Adam Wing - Wedding Filmmaker thanks for the info... so at 50fps do you keep your shutter speed at 1/100th and follow the 180 rule?

[@AdamWingFilms]

Nah. 1/100th minimum but I go all the way to 1/8000 if need be for exposure

[@robfowler431]

Adam Wing - Wedding Filmmaker is that so you don’t have to use ND filters

[@AdamWingFilms]

Exactly

[@vladimirtalijan]

You should install EOSHD Canon color, that image is as dead as zombie apocalypse :)

[@AdamWingFilms]

Ha! Nice metaphor. This is ungraded footage, hence the flat look. I’ll grade with filmconvert and colour corrections.

[@vladimirtalijan]

@@AdamWingFilms It's not about flatness but the default Sony colors are very lifeless and bad. EOSHD Canon color gives it a life. If you have flat dead colors, when you add contrast they will just end up contrasted dead :)

[@AdamWingFilms]

Fair enough. I’m quite happy with the colours myself.

[@eduardocortes-dv4lo]

mate i like your monopod looks light. I got the srui 424 its heavy, but lets see how its go with photo & video solo next week. i learned a lot from your videos. @walocortes

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thanks a lot my friend, good luck shooting!

[@timothyawe5103]

What is wrong with your audio

[@AdamWingFilms]

Think it’s just on one track, left or right I can’t remember.. that what you mean?
