There are three things you can look at endlessly. Water, fire and how you shoot videos

[@JakeWeisler]

Hahaha love it 🎉

[@JonathanPajakLensCulture]

"Very common in Utah culture" this blew. my mind. Florida filmmaker here. First look weeks before the wedding sound soooooo wild

[@eggsrsweet]

I'd love if you did a video on how you choose where to do a first look. What do you look for? What are some general rules you follow when it comes to picking a spot or how to shoot it? Do you always try to pick a shady area or do you ever film in the direct sun? I know the general rule is to film with the sun/light behind them.

[@WaywardNorth]

Okay fine, ill buy the 50 1.2 and some new Nike Killshots 🔥This was so good you guys

[@JakeWeisler]

Hahahaha I love you bro 🎉

[@julianstelzl]

If you ask me your wedding videos are the best ones you can find on youtube! absolutely professional. any chances that you make a video on how to edit a wedding film?

[@SeanNeale]

The dynamic range and color grading is just too damn good 🙌🏻 I recently saw your short video of you and your guys playing Kubb (?) and fell in love with the look of that too - was that FX3 and the 50 1.2 too? Or maybe it was the C70 and your color grading is just utterly goated haha

[@JakeWeisler]

Yes sir! That lens was actually the 24-70 g master!

[@LisaBalram]

Hiii. Absolutely stunning end result and always a treat watching the whole process. Question, what mode is your gimbal on that it stays where you want it, without it moving off slightly.

[@corazoninmaculado77]

I love it!!!! thank you guys... I have a wedding in chicago... and this is awsome!!! Saludos from Spain!!!! :)

[@moose8425]

always waiting for this .. ♥️ 11:25 this shot is a killer .. waiting for the final edit . ☺️☺️☺️

[@JakeWeisler]

Thank you!!

[@josiahpetermann]

This is 🔥 work. Great job, hot stuff.

[@dtmfilms]

"if you guys have any questions..." Sooo, I've got a whole week's shoot in Mapleton in mid-July, my question is this... when do I get to try those world-famous briskets? XD Love the video as usual jake and nate. Thank you guys for the inspiration and education.

[@User-pq2yn]

I'm waiting for FX3MII in the fall

[@claudiagoodwinfilms]

Would love a video on 'How to Film Toasts/Speeches"! Ideally with a few different seating arrangements!

[@mariohoell]

That was perfect, love the bts of jake with his new signature pose to watch lcd🫡

[@JakeWeisler]

🎉🎉🎉

[@demonehenderson16]

love the sense of humor in the video Lol!!

I appreciate you!

Fantastic

[@definitelydancers3808]

Thanks for your post. I really like watching the videos and learning from them.

[@JakeWeisler]

Thanks for the love ❤

[@InnocentStuart]

killer edit, love it

[@sungsangmin]

4:05 I love that shot!

[@Uday-mc2hh]

look like 3d render

[@sungsangmin]

@@Uday-mc2hh hahaha, I meant the everything was great with the foreground and background. But, since you said it, it looks like 3d render. lol

[@karabomasehle]

I love this channel 🔥🔥🔥 which picture profile do you use for the fx3?

[@toluoludipe2214]

Jake amazing video as always... I have a quick question about this particular shoot, why didn't you use an ND filter? and also how did you manage to nail the shots that the bystanders could be seen in your background or you didn''t mind cuz of your depth of field?

[@toluoludipe2214]

Another thing I would really be interested in is a posing guide for couples video from you..... just something to help portray your couples in the most flattering way possible while making them comfortable as well. Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to more great stuff from you as always ♥

[@redletterdayspnw]

Was that track at the end in mono? Love the shots and direction to the couple. That FX3 is a beast in such a small form factor. Nate didn't break anything today! Good job, Nate! 🤣

[@JakeWeisler]

Oh it might have been to be honest, did you watch it with headphones ?

[@redletterdayspnw]

@@JakeWeisler I did. Actually gave it more of a nostalgic vibe. I dig it 👊

[@SeanNeale]

Also, I’m eagerly awaiting your ZVE1 videos before dropping my cash on one 😁 really struggling to decide between the lightweight and small 50mm 2.5 or just going full send with the 1.2

[@JakeWeisler]

So far I love it!

[@SamAlamOfficial]

Perfect! ❤

[@jeffsavilleproductions]

Dynamic Range is awesome. That white dress in direct sunlight with harsh shadows and looks great and detail retained throughout the color light spectrum from what I can see! Sony for the W.

[@JakeWeisler]

Sony big time winning at this shoot 🎉

[@AsadNazari_]

No ND filter, I don't like either :) I use the same setup. The only difference is A7S3 instead of FX3.

[@photosbyjames_]

Love the talk through of the process! How do you get the low angle shots so smooth!? I have lots of jitters everytime I try these low shots or where the gimbal is tilted awkwardly

[@JakeWeisler]

My biggest advice is just to slow down. I bet you’re just going too fast! Slow down, take deep breaths, and SWAY instead of stepping

[@hbalazs]

Amazing colors. Thanks for the video. I already bought your luts. What is your shutter speed in 1.2 aperture , 60fps if you have a beauthiful sunny weather like this and you don't use ND? It's not visible in slow motion.

[@bennyboy0773]

Is it fairly typical that you wont use ND's, or do you generally use them?

[@tamaskellner6911]

Good work👍from Hungary😉

[@AOJOPhotography]

Nice video as always!! Did you have your monitor brightness on Sunny Weather ?

[@JakeWeisler]

Yes!! Love that setting

[@dinucristi]

Really cool work! I have a quick question, if you don't mind. How do you generally expose with the FX3 while shooting weddings in Slog3? Do you go for a standard 0 exposure or do you use the ETTR method to about +1.3 - 1.7 stops? Thanks a million!

[@JakeWeisler]

Don’t quote me on this but i dont think you need to over expose anymore. I never do - just expose +0.0

[@happiekidonetwo2529]

The videographer can talk... At first I thought I talk alot, just to find am not alot.. you were having fun, and seeing how you were dropping your jokes... You enjoy what you are doing.

[@JakeWeisler]

I love my job 🔥

[@JonasVanraes]

Haha i love how your honesty, kinda funny :) Also, how old are they? They look young!

[@User-pq2yn]

Nice color grading

[@Pharadogamer1]

what lens u use ? 50 mm 1.2 gm ?

[@zakarstudio]

So good results🔥 I have a question! What kind of website do you use for music and presets?

[@JakeWeisler]

Link in description for music and colors!!

[@paulanispian]

what lens do u use?

[@carlosmoreira7249]

that "hot stuff" killed me ahahaha

[@JakeWeisler]

Hahahaha not my proudest moment tbh

[@InTheTropic]

do you switch between auto and manual focusing?

[@igordoonprimus7290]

love it

[@karensurgery3845]

Which LAV / bumblebee LAV concealer are you using with the the DR10L ?

[@JakeWeisler]

The one that works with the Sennheiser ME 2 works beautifully

[@JonathanPajakLensCulture]

Groom is about as dry as a piece of wood in the hot desert hahaha

[@1994kalu]

Nice! :) Do you always use nifty fifty for this?

[@JakeWeisler]

The 50 Gmaster 1.2 lens!

[@fernandobonenfantphotography]

curious about your video aspect ratio?!?!

[@KALINAmoto]

What about lens Hood?:p

[@runawayvows]

why would I use a lens hood?

[@KALINAmoto]

@@runawayvows Od You dont mind lights than for additional protection atleast😉

[@brendanwebster4674]

That is a gorgeous bride. Very modest but elegant dress

[@JakeWeisler]

Agreed 🎉🎉

[@BrandonWilsonFilmsCo]

Loved it. I found my self laughing at all your cringe comments Jake 🤣 my wife does the same thing when we’re shooting couples and I just look at her 😑 like what just came out of your mouth

[@JakeWeisler]

I cringe myself out so many times a day 😂

[@sheastlouis]

Can you do a video on how your expose for Slog 3?

[@JakeWeisler]

Honestly I just expose properly - no over exposing or anything. Just make sure my histogram is even

[@vietuser7]

@@JakeWeislerso when some say you should always over expose a bit (sure maybe not two stops, but still over expose slightly) that wouldn’t be necessary then? (I’m new to slog3 btw)

[@AeternusPhotography]

Please are you shooting at F1.2 without ND ? Am I correct? Please which shutter speed you use in this condition - sunny day.

[@JakeWeisler]

It just has to be at least double your frame rate :)

[@AeternusPhotography]

@@JakeWeisler yeas I understand but without ND filter it will be 1/2000 sec - I have same lens and during day it is even less. Do you have same settings or are you going down with F? Thanks

[@user-fn8dw6cb6i]

Do you work with eye focus? Personally, I can't see anything with the camera monitor, so I take a bigger monitor for that.

[@JakeWeisler]

Yeah this whole video was shot with eye focus. It freaked out on me a few times but that’s probably because I was at 1.2 lol

[@user-fn8dw6cb6i]

@@JakeWeisler Which means 1.2 lol?

[@user-fn8dw6cb6i]

What do you mean 1,2 lol?

[@JakeWeisler]

@@user-fn8dw6cb6ilike my aperture was at 1.2!

Thanks for the video? Where you at 1.2 the whole time?

[@JakeWeisler]

Went between 1.2 - 2-8!

[@JesusJimenez-td8wc]

@@JakeWeisler How can I set up a phone call with you? Thank you

[@italianboyseychelles]

no ND , u add motion blur in post ? just curious

[@JakeWeisler]

Most the poses don’t have a lot of motion to begin with so not really needed!

[@svirplysfilms4987]

Hi, whats the track id end of the video? thanks :)

[@JakeWeisler]

That’s “Where the Streetlights fade” on Musicbed!

So easy when you have a photographer that isn't barking orders every 3 and a half seconds lmao

[@moneyboys2010]

Bro what’s up with the focus on some shots, were you shooting in manual ! Thanks for the feedback Hot Stuff. 😅

[@JakeWeisler]

Haha dude idk the autofocus was freakin out

[@moneyboys2010]

@@JakeWeisler 🤣 I figured that… no worries Bro…. Awesome Video. I used foreground all the time for First Looks, the perspective is 🔥

[@roscoereels]

Good video, but i would have reshot the 14:17 part, seems to be fucus hunting quite fast.

[@JakeWeisler]

You can’t reshoot a first look, it’s a reaction that happens once - it’s only real once!

[@roscoereels]

@@JakeWeisler didn't ypu preface the video that they did this before their wedding?

[@JakeWeisler]

@@roscoereels Yeah but it's still a First Look - something that only happens once. He only has ONE first impression of his wife in a dress. So there's only ONE reaction

Sony G Master 50!
