“I really did film this wedding 30 weeks pregnant. 💀” -Elaine

[@RejeRush]

Ayyyeee!!! You did your thing sis!!!

[@jonhpeterkings]

Massive respect girl!!

[@moneyboys2010]

And I complain about shooting Travel Weddings Multicam Solo… I should be embarrassed 😂 Much Respect and Congratulations 🎉

[@impactthroughmylenz]

your a gangster🥰🥰😆😆

[@PebblesMcWilly]

This video only gives people a glimpse of how much wedding videographers do with regards to equipment and set up. I really think we are underappreciated for what we bring to the table

[@BottlebrushFilms]

The collaboration I didn’t know I needed until it graced my eyeballs 😍❤️❤️

[@Palvader]

Can I just say that Elaine is such a boss mama for running around with that gimbal while being with child!

[@KEJProductions]

🥹🙏🏾

[@kunalravindra]

You guys are warriors!!!! What an experience man......THANKYOU FOR THIS...

[@LisaMaeFilms]

This whole BTS was just a pleasure to watch!!

[@carlosjones9826]

I love the "I Got You" collaboration...

[@TylerCapozziCinematography]

19:30 Uh oh, an exposed MI Shoe in the rain! 😬 I believe you learned about that potential for disaster once before? The white light stand covers are neat! What are those called? Great work and fun BTS!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

This is awesome!!!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks love you

[@peperclipsfilms]

Love how easy going these guys are!

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

I like this format. Great detail and interaction.

[@ryanmarcum9456]

Love it! I do the same drone controls for the exact same reason, Kaleb. It just feels right.

[@KEJProductions]

🤙🏽

[@paulgero]

Very cool Matt! You’re friends are lovely!

[@LonzosStudios]

I loved every moment of this...I tried going away from using gimbals because of how good these Lens and camera body IS are these days but it's just not the same. I wasn't able to get that smooth gliding look of the gimbal so I went back to it...glad to see I'm not the only one

[@DJangokid]

sameeeee

[@delayne8819]

Ahh exciting to see things like this in my home state 🥹

[@coszec]

Hey big bro. Thanks again for another great video. You are a creative inspiration to me.

[@twentyfourphotoandfilms7381]

Love it, perfect timing as I am doing my first wedding for this season this Sunday.thank you so much.

[@jonhpeterkings]

That baby inside of that belly during the parade 🕺💃🎶⚡!!!

[@KEJProductions]

😂😂 100 percent

[@NewEnglandCreative]

As a man who has re-tucked his shirt in for years at weddings, my man Kaleb needs some shirt stays. A total game-changer. Thank me later. This is a dope BTS Matt - thanks for sharing!

[@RejeRush]

Ayyyeee! That’s my people!! I know them! Great vid!

[@KEJProductions]

Rejeeeeeeee!

[@sabatinisfilm7247]

Amazing guys

[@LisaMaeFilms]

"Shall we do some yoga real quick?" 😂

[@journeyhomefilms6416]

Whats the specs on that gimbal setup Kaleb and Elaine? Awesome video!

[@bypacofilms]

EU AMEI ESSE VIDEO VEI

[@puzzlemanproductions]

Can't wait till you come back to Australia and film our BTS!!

[@jefferson.castillo]

Loving the vibes! 🎉

[@GregorPQ]

Man, that are beautiful shots.

[@lenhister]

Love the white pole wrap! But why doesn't he mount the battery into v-mount on the 60x instead of running the cable down the light stand? Edit: the next clip he puts it onto the v-mount haha

[@rosenurse7687]

Beautiful job!

[@emanueldaniel1386]

Awesome video!! Do u have a link for the white light stand cloths?

[@markrenton7643]

How you do weddings and still find time to run a KZbin channel and do monster BTS edits like this I will never know. You ser are a beast.

[@misterwhyte]

Weddings are a strange industry. You work like crazy for a few weeks/months then you get pretty much nothing for a while. That leaves time for other stuff. Also, once you're well established, you can start charging A LOT and thus work much less and still be making good money. I could be wrong but I suspect this is what Matt is doing. Still, he's definitely a hard worker, no doubt about it.

[@misterwhyte]

Great video but honestly, at this point I'm more curious about how these people pay for such extravagant weddings. I feel completely disconnected from that.

[@thanos1978-]

very nice!what lens do you use at gimbal at preparations?thanks

[@stasvideoeditor]

Cool video, Matt! Respect to all participants!👋 I especially liked how much attention and efforts these videographers pay to installing the light - that's awesome!👍 ONE QUESTION: Can we see the result of this work somewhere? It would be ideal to add an edited wedding film at the end of the video if the couple and videographers don't mind...😉

[@MACRO_Korea]

Good job bro.

[@63MacGuy]

I love these video. The only thing I would change is to know what type of lens they used for certain shots and why or if they had a different technique of making up the groom and officiant. That kind of thing. Thanks Matt!!!

[@KEJProductions]

We have no secrets! If you have any questions about specific lens choice we’re happy to provide answers. Thanks for watching!

[@63MacGuy]

@@KEJProductions that comment / suggestion was for Matt on other BTS's Down the road. You guys look like you do an amazing job. I would love to see a little teaser film from that wedding so we can see what the different things look like that you did.

[@whoismatt]

I will work on adding that info for future BTS-es

[@vamoshoneyweddingstories4191]

c´mon... I just sell my Mavic pro 2 to get an mino 4 pro =/ I really hate Spain with drone regulations.... Do it here and you have police around in 10 mins xD Great work!!

[@fullframeproductionsllc]

On point brother! They both seem super talented and passionate (first time seeing them, thank you for the introduction) plus yall all vibed, it was nice! Separate export/film question, if I may. For the final wedding video (if you know) would it be exported 24fps or 30fps? And what were most shots filmed at FPS wise? Thoroughly enjoyed the video very informative as well. Helped me connect some dots. Thank you all! #PositiveVibes

[@whoismatt]

24fps for the final export, I believe they filmed mostly in 24 or 60fps

[@AKSKMY]

I wouldn't dare to use the gimbal out in the rain haha especially how its not water resistant haha. Also what side handles and monitor are you using?

[@alekkammer8129]

Any updates on that new aputure led light 👀

[@marquisphotography1618]

I do about 25 wedding a a year in New Orleans and yes the contact high is true 😂 Matt.

[@joelito20]

where can I get the white cloth for the stands? thanks

[@paulgero]

Yes!!!!

[@joelito20]

@matt please

[@gibranrgarcia]

The people with the cell phones ruining the main shot!!! 😭

[@phxrisingmedia]

You all need the holly headsets :)

[@mouctardiallo9062]

Hey Mat which Sony were they using Specially the Man?

[@whoismatt]

A7siii for all of them

[@heartfeltstudio6119]

just curious did you have lav mic on yourself and †he team the entire time?

[@whoismatt]

Yes

[@jelliffcrystal]

She keeps saying portraits isn’t she the videographer?

[@lg.studio]

Every time I watch an US wedding I am like, "damn, I wish we had wedding here like that". Extroverted people, the couple hanging out and partying with their friends preparing in the morning, people talking to the camera when asked, actually having proper speech, showing emotions, laughing. I feel like the wedding we have here (also the videos then) are boring.

[@davebear6312]

Matt, do you guys have your drone license?

[@BobbyD262]

People still doin the "use a gimbal for every shot" thing?

[@zhuboy]

Yeah and that's fine if it works for them!

[@markrenton7643]

His second is mostly hand held and monopod it seems.

[@tomfilmsthings]

my bad back and I say yes

[@funkystudiosphotography2961]

People still doing that thing that they have to complain about everybody else, how they do it just because they don't do it the way you do it... kk cool 😎

[@juicyfruit6]

Huge respect for you guys wearing suits to film in, I literally could not do that id be sweating too much lol

[@whoismatt]

Oh it was sweaty!
