Hey, back again. would you still recommend this camera in 2021 for wedding films?

[@edwardwmills]

im srry for being so late 🤣 but yes! the only big limitation you need to look out for is the camera’s low light performance. as long as you avoid shooting in dark settings ( or bring adequate lighting ) you should be fine :)

[@_Martech_]

My only question would be (because you already answered most of them in the comments) why is there not more videos on this channel ??? You’re obviously talented and I’d rather watch your bids 💯 % more than those supposedly creators filming random stuff and calling themselves videographer. Please for the sake of our all generation keep doing what you’re doing and share it with the world ! Peace ✌🏻

[@ydine1065]

That's one of the best video marriage i've ever seeen and that too on a canon 200 D...hattss off man. Did you use a gimbal?

[@edwardwmills]

ty! srry for the year late reply but yes I used the DJI Ronin S gimbal

[@ShahmeerAliFilms]

Which gimbal you use here?

[@edwardwmills]

The DJI Ronin S

[@kuramafox1290]

Hi Edward, this angle looks wide. The focal length of this camera should be about 75mm because it’s a crop sensor right?. Did you use another lens other than 50mm 1.8 here?

[@edwardwmills]

you’re right, it was a 50mm on a crop sensor, so in really the image is a bit larger than a true 50mm. Also, yes I think I was a 75-200mm inside the chapel because I didn’t want to disturb the ceremony, so I stayed in the back to get those shots. Other than that, I believe I used the 50mm

[@edwardwmills]

you’re right, it was a 50mm on a crop sensor, so in reality the image is a bit more compressed than a true 50mm. Also, yes I think I used a 75-200mm kit lens inside the chapel because I didn’t want to disturb the ceremony, so I stayed in the back to get those shots. Other than that, I believe I used the 50mm

[@rafaelarotilio4473]

Awesome✨what settings did you use?

[@campview]

Do you have the longer version of this clip?

[@edwardwmills]

No 🥲

[@phiroduranw]

Wow..just wow 🤗

[@zeddproduction]

50mm focal length is very narrow , how did you took wider shots ?

[@edwardwmills]

The Tiny Traveler I mainly just had to back up a lot more than usual. Of course the compression wasn’t exactly the same as if I were shooting with a 24mm per se, but it was good enough. Also, mixing in medium and tight angles made my “wide” shots seems more wide than it actually was

[@Topic_____542]

[@jubetpadilla6152]

[@Travelwithkrikana]

awesome video. i have the some gears canon 200 d and 50 mm 1.8. whenever i use 50 mm 1.8 for video, the lens keep tracking and focusing the object . it is not stable to a single subject, sometimes it focuses to an object behind the subject and sometimes to an subject in front. is there any problem with the lens?

[@edwardwmills]

yes sometimes the auto focus can be a bit wonky, so if it’s possible, use manual focus for shots that aren’t working when using auto focus”

[@dharmeshseju]

even I cant shoot like this if I having a 200d and 50mm

[@atharvpawar2331]

This is amazing, it is an inspiration for us, to use equipment at best level, i am searching for 200 ii + 50mm combination and i got you! Thank you for this one

[@edwardwmills]

ty and hope it works out for you!

[@GABRIELXI-GAMING]

Hi, some of the shots look like they were filled on a wide angle, like the establishing shots. What lens did you use other than the nifty 50?

[@edwardwmills]

I used an 18-55 mm kit lens for all of the wider angle shots :)

[@joshtimbas]

This is so wonderful ❤

[@edwardwmills]

thank you!

[@fionamcnamara3462]

This is beautiful

[@edwardwmills]

Appreciate it 👌🏽

[@mediadocent]

Which did you like more? With the kitlens or the 50mm? I think I miss the wide shots in this one.

[@edwardwmills]

sorry for the late response, I admittedly liked using the 50mm more because of the lenience it gives via, f stop, and the ability to get tight shots. However, now I prefer using a zoom lens for increased variability. On my gh5 I have a 12-35mm (which equates to 24-70mm on regular sensors) lens and I enjoy using that more than the 25mm (50mm equivalent) lens. I was probably enamored with the new feel of the lens and more or less neglected wide angled shots (which are extremely important to establishing location). Hope this helps

[@mediadocent]

@@edwardwmills Yeah, I want a zoom too. I did both now, the 24mm and the 50mm. But you keep missing the other :-).

[@jeffersonencarnacion1051]

Sir this is great

[@dhruvjadoun]

Just ordered this combo of camera and lens after watching thus video. Just want to know, what fps you chose to shoot this video?

[@edwardwmills]

I hope it works well for you! If you want to be able to make clips slow motion, then shoot at 60 fps and 1/120 shutter speed. If you know that won’t want any slow motion clips then shoot at 24 fps and use 1/50 shutter speed.

[@santhoshsandy5298]

Can u tell the max iso pushed for this work?

[@Daniel-ur3pd]

@Edward Mills What F stop was this throughout

[@edwardwmills]

I used f/1.8 for the entire film, coupled with an ND filter

[@Mezangkori]

Idk if you'll see this, but can you please tell me the camera settings you put on before shooting, like the shutter speed, iso, white balance and other settings. PLEASE!!!

[@edwardwmills]

Mezangkori My picture profile was set to CineStyle, Neutral would work as well. Shutter speed at 1/125, 60 fps, iso @ 100 to 800 max, daylight white balance (however this depends on your particular scenario).

[@Mezangkori]

What was the settings you use for indoor shoot??? Like the exposure, shutter speed, etc.... Please let me know... Coz I'm bad at low light and want to improve on that

[@edwardwmills]

Shahal FR I shot at 125 shutter, 800 iso, and used a 50mm f/1.8 lensfor all indoor shot except the ceremony itself. The chapel was fairly well lit, so that I used the same shutter and iso, but switched to a 70-300mm kit lens.

The shots look like 120fps but cannon 200d doesn't support that !! How did you shoot that ?

[@edwardwmills]

At the time i was using adobe premiere pro. There’s a setting called “optical flow” (I might be wrong about the name). It allows you to slow footage down lower than usual, without it looking choppy. I’m sure there are several tutorials on how to achieve the same effect here on youtube :)

This is amazing. I’m shooting a wedding in 2 weeks and I’m nervous. I have a T7i with a 50mm, an 18mm-135mm and a Ronin S. I’m feeling unprepared. How did you get prepared and what were some things that helped you the day of? Thanks :)

[@edwardwmills]

For starters, be sure you're familiar with your camera's settings. try to adjust them as soon as you enter a new environment so that you can focus on capturing precious moments. Also, test out some angles. One move with the ronin s that I really like doing is walking around an object while keeping it in the centre of the frame, essentially a slow pan. I did this a lot of times, you can as well. Next, if you know an important moment is coming up, play it safe. You don't want to miss moments like the infamous "you may kiss the bride" scene. Lastly, this first wedding is your practice. You have to start somewhere, feeling unprepared for something like this is natural, I did so myself, just unstand that you are 10x better than what you may think you are right now, in the eyes of whoever hired you. Take that confidence to the wedding and crush it! Hope this helped!

[@luismendesfilms]

@@edwardwmills Did you film this weeding alone ? Is this the principal video or just a teaser ? Did you film in c log or cinestyle profile ? I`m at the same situation like gnarle, i have a 250d and only a 18 35 sigma art 1.8, and a weebill s, i`m feeling confident, but film alone make me feel a little nervous, if you have some advice, i thank a lot. Good job !

[@edwardwmills]

@@luismendesfilms This was the actual wedding video. And yeah, I filmed this alone. I shot in cinestyle. As for advice, being nervous is normal, I was extremely nervous as well. What helps with that is telling yourself that you were asked to filmed because they liked your work/are confident in your ability to do a good job. Make sure you have multiple batteries and bring your charger. Whenever you have downtime, charge them if possible. Also bring multiple SD cards just in case you’re unlucky and one decides to stop working. For the actual filming, try to give yourself options when editing so film a close up, a medium, and far shot when you are just filming decorations and location. Also switch the angles up. When it comes to the more important shots, like during the actual ceremony, it is best to just be safe and get basic shots. You wouldn’t want to miss those. Lastly, when you’re filming people, always expose for them, it is better to have a blown out background and correctly exposed people than the other way around. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions just let me know.

[@edwardwmills]

hey, sorry for the late reply but ty for the kind words. sorry that i never got around to making a tutorial on how i made this video. probably the biggest tip i can give for using a 50mm is knowing how far you have to stand away from your subject to get the desired framing in camera. that way, you won't have to think about it, and potentially miss any moments

[@ronaldpaccialva9037]

did you use a video stabilizer? Excellent Quality

[@edwardwmills]

[@brunomarques8614]

It was very good! Congratulations. Could you tell me which video profile you used and what settings? Did you use lut in the coloring? I'm from Brazil, and I have a Canon sl2.

[@edwardwmills]

Thank you man! I shot on the CineStyle profile, it's not a default profile so you have to download it. There should be numerous youtube videos on how to do so. If not, then use the neutral profile. I shot at the lowest f stop possible so f1/.8 or f/4.5for my kit lens depending on the zoom. I shot outdoor scenes at iso 100 and indoor scenes at or below 800 iso. My shutter remained at 1/125 the entire time.

Any tips on autofocus on 200d? Seems you were able to hit the nail on your shots each time even with cameras limited AF hardware

[@edwardwmills]

honestly a lot of luck is involved if you rely on AF. for some shots, like the scene in the chapel, i used AF to get the image focused, then switched to MF to keep it there. for shots that i could just take again if i wasn’t satisfied with it, i just used AF. if you are skilled with MF, and you are in a situation where you only have 1 chance to get the shot, i’d recommend using MF. if you can simply retake the shot if its not sharp, then you can use AF. hope this helps :)
