I have been working on events for about 8 years now and I can tell you I would be freaking out trying to get the video finished 😂 my guy has some confidence and talent ! 👏👏

[@IWTBFOY]

Did you just hired a 4th person to film BTS at an actual wedding? Seesh Kraig. Taking this Wedding Film School seriously. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@EndangeredStories]

Just wanted to say I’ve watched this video about. Half dozen times. Love it. As a small video business owner, myself, I’m feeling the anxiety with you every step of the way, big man.

[@that1cameraguy]

This was awesome, I could feel the intensity and rush you were dealing with to get that edit done.

[@WeddingFilmSchool]

+that1cameraguy you are awesome. I can feel the intensity and rush of your comment being totally dope and stuff. Thanks brother.

[@luboyanev]

So many useful tips!!! And the AW, HA & WOW... so important, never thought of it this way

[@jeffs6232]

This was a great idea for something extra you can do for a client. It was really good to hear you say what you would leave out just due to time constraints. Good seeing your approach to saving the footage during the ceremony and essentially just having enough cards to never write over anything the day of. For all of my shoots, I backup on site, but I've always been worried about overwriting files so good logical tip.

[@HenrikvonMartensHvM]

Talk about good concentration :) just working focused on the edit while the Verve is blasting in the background, respect man...

[@BrianMarcWhittaker]

Much respect. Great job. That takes a lot of planning and coordination. Thank you for the transparency of what goes on behind the scenes.

[@rickybobbymusic]

Man you are simply a badass....anyone that shoots weddings knows that you were in the pressure-cooker! Much respect and there are not that many people in this field that could pull that off!!

[@AlecOGrady]

The "Owen Wilson Wow" is my new favorite thing . Keep up the good work bro!

[@valentinoagni2]

Your videos are awesome man! I learn a lot. I`ll be filming SDE for my cousin's wedding soon and your vids help a lot. Thank you

[@filip1727]

Really really great video! One of my favorites so far!

[@fabianmunoz7962]

You are the BEST! Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

[@jalexb915]

Thanks for sharing this it really helps. I held my breath the entire time!

[@JubertMichael]

This is so so much helpful! thank you!

[@svenfilms7037]

Awesome video man. Seriously. Love the hustle. I have done same edits before for a few corporate videos (Just because I wanted to and was in the flow, not because I needed to I.E. part of the contract.) but it took me like 18 hours. This is VERY impressive. Cheers.

[@FrancisRoy]

Stress full ! Good job, thanks for sharing

[@pedrofilipe8288]

Congratulations bro!! Amazing job! I know how hard is to do this in a few hours... And the result still incredible

[@WeddingFilmSchool]

+Pedro Gonçalves Thanks Pedro!

[@AdamGera]

[@jeffer122982]

[@MilanMart1]

[@gregstockstravel8893]

Hi Craig, pretty sure I've watched all your videos now! I've learnt so much so thank you! Will be saving for the Sony.. if your ever in London, give us a shout!

[@alexisdelola1112]

Hello! Your video is very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@YQuini]

Great Video! You are my best teacher

[@Digitalnomad8]

Great tips, if you ever need a fourth shooter in NY let me know. I recently switched from Canon 5DIII to Sony AX100 4k & Sony A7rii. Just started filming with 4k & loving it, Thanks again for sharing,

[@WeddingFilmSchool]

+Robert Jung Will do! I am always posting help wanted requests and video gigs on my social medias so make sure to follow - @kaaadams on twitter is usually best, if not snapchat. Thanks! - Kraig

[@qjmclester2576]

[@mallorcamediatv]

Thanks, for all your helpful and awesome tutorials!!! ;) !!! Greeting from Spain

[@dahamZooq]

wow that was amazing I could never do that , well done

[@dzikiehistorie5310]

Great tips! Awesome edit !

[@ColbysCards]

Really love your videos. They make me want to make better videos for even just college projects and my own KZbin channel. I don't quite have the budget for the equipment that I would want or the time to devote to it that I would like, but your videos really inspire the filmmaker in me!!

[@WeddingFilmSchool]

+ColbysTechReviews Can't tell you how amazing something like this is to hear Colby, seriously. I'm just a dude making videos and sometimes get discouraged but comments like this give me life, gives the channel life. Thank you brosef.

[@ColbysCards]

+Wedding Film School Absolutely! I'm able to take criticism well and learn from it. Sometimes there are just people that you have to turn your cheek to, but in your field of wedding videography especially, ultimately it's you and your team shooting it and it's your creative vision for the project....and personally I think your creative vision in each of your projects is awesome!

[@GARTHTHEUNISSEN1]

Wow... super stress for you BUT it sets a new standard! Well done!

[@eyalhalabi736]

[@jaredsheldon5667]

Awesome video

[@DraiAKA]

The SDE was amazing! Do you have a video on how you transcode your footage and file organization?

[@clintonclyde]

i can see you're very professional. when i do SDEs i dont have time for snacks haha. i can see you're very professional. thanks for the tips

[@CVFILMSLLC]

Respect bro. Thats gotta be tough.

[@somtoonubogu]

Great video guys. Any tips on best system specs and gear for SDE's?

[@wojtassek89]

Great job man! :)

[@jankarlsson8341]

Very nice video. Being a bit of a new learner, I'd love for some explaining on transcoding, and how it's done. Sorry for newbie question...

[@dennislat7663]

amazing

[@sultanmir682]

Man! you're talented 🖒

[@vincebaldwin2829]

I love your videos. I’ve always had a passion for videography and really want to get into wedding shootings. All I have is an A7ii. I’d really like more guidance into doing videos.

[@tigacainta]

hi.. from manila..awesome tips !

[@EndangeredStories]

Truly amazing and inspiring. You captures the intensity of completing a SDE perfectly!!! You should have at least 5 times more views than this. Do you have online courses? How much pre planning of the story is there before the wedding day?

[@Weddingdot1productions]

Thnx for share info

[@FullsendBill]

same day edits. your wild.

[@roquesteban19]

cycling life xD hahaha I was like wtf??? he likes to live extremely 😂 he don't give a fuck about nothing😂

[@itsMeJustin]

nice video, thanks

[@eyad9490]

Good job brother 😍👍

[@twonutsonadate310]

You're the Man Kraig

[@ingaman]

I shot a wedding once. The photo shoot was before the ceremony and the ceremony was delayed 45 minutes because the vale was at the hotel in a different city. So the reception happened right after the ceremony and pretty much everything from that point onward was rushed. The planner approached me and asked if we could play the video in half an hour -I had just finished capturing the ceremony. SDEs are cool, but a pain in the ass when planners don't have their act together.

[@DamienWilde]

Very impressive.

[@ThanakritGu]

That's amazing, so much pressure in what goes into that SDE! Kraig, how long is the final video that you deliver to the couple? What's included in the package that you deliver?

[@kurniawandwiputra6568]

inspiring video :)

[@codec4]

one of my favorite videos you made quick question why did you have the 13in macbook pro vs the 15in?

[@EliHolland]

Make a video on how you/to create/d, and design/ed a website! It's something I'm struggling with! I'm sure it would get a lot of views! Luv the vids!😊

[@EliHolland]

+Kraig Adams THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@nicolasbarroso]

Hello friend! I have a question. When you give the final video to the customers. Do you give them the whole ceremony? Or just a full resume of everything? I wonder what I must give them. I mean do you give them the whole pastor or priest ceremony? Or just a resume? How long must the whole video be? Thanks in advance!

[@MrProfeDNY]

Hello, nice video awesome!!! could you give me some tips to shoot with my Canon 60d in low lights situations and to archive the best film look please? ill appreciate it so much.

[@michaeldialogo2338]

Hello Kraig. You're delibaration was so well! Im interested to learn and do the SDE but im a bit confused about the flow or the (structure) of contents of SDE any tips? I would much appreciate it. Thanks.

[@BlackMusicRecordProd]

Please can i know what software you use for editing videos ? And love your video and thanks for your advice

[@michianadroneservicesllc858]

Was looking for ideas. Definitely couldn't pull it off by myself.

[@UncVee0X]

Great work and thank you for sharing. Very informative. Quick question, where do you get your music from for your weddings? Thank you.

[@EliHolland]

I want to know that too

[@heyssamshahid8138]

Hey Love your work such passion to teach. can i know which softwares you use for your video editing

[@mrmtruckermax2]

I love your tutorials... do you have extra people and cameras to shoot your behind-the-scenes shots?

[@milobarnard2465]

Hey Kraig What was the piano track and final song used in this SDE? Love your vids by the way!

[@jitendrakr]

I am big fan of yours and follow all your videos. I have a question just out of curiosity, Is wedding videos your full time job?

[@jessyeljadael8407]

Hey ! Very interesting video ! Helping me a lot. I would like to know how so you charge for a wedding ? What to consider to put a price to make a wedding film

[@christopherbarbara]

Great video it was really informative. What is the deliverable? do you give to your bride and groom do you do a Blu-ray /DVD with or without menu system or is it straight to mpeg-4 file?

[@davisonnobre3996]

showw de vídeo parabéns, gostaria de saber qual programa você uso para edição .

[@Foerdy]

Good video :) thumbs up!

[@CINEBOXFILMES]

first day even edit Saturday. Wish me good luck. I want to document everything as it was.

[@danieltang2488]

My workmate said no need to buy licenced songs for SDE film. I believe we still need to licence every song for wedding films & SDE. Could you please help clarify this? Thanks a lot. I have learned a lot from your tutorials. I appreciate your effort for making such awesome videos so much.

[@vedder7373]

We do 20-25 SDE a year. I feel your stress. I hate it when I have to burn a DVD cause that the only play option. Your workflow is very similar to ours. I usually bring my owns small folding table too. Just big enough for the lap top. This way you can edit anywhere and are restricted to where ever a table is.

[@erikaagk]

This is amazing! May I ask what is your preference or suggestion for projector? Thank you

[@WeddingFilmSchool]

I wish we could answer but Kraig has long sense left the channel. It also may be helpful to know that most modern projectors will work for this. I’d say a minimum of 5000 lumens for use indoors during the day. Probably too pricey to get something that would project outside in full sun and also probably not necessary.

[@lcha1991]

Hi,which LUTS you always use on your SDE ? Can you share it ?

[@lixdil]

Thanks for sharing How do you the timecode? Some kind of hardware or feature in camera?

[@KingStivan]

damn im sweating like pig just looking at you working :S kudos to you man!!

[@diopazaraiz7181]

Hey. How did you come up with a pre color graded output if you didnt usually use it in sde? Ive noticed the video has already presets? Thanks for your tip bro

[@alanrouge9423]

Hi im alan rouge a videographer in oklahoma. I love that you made this video and appreciate your content a lot! I am thinking about integrating the same day edit into my wedding films but y main problem is that my laptop is so slow! It is the reason that my projects dont get done in one day and I hate it. I am driven and focused and dedicated to my work, what should I do?

[@onenarrowdoor]

Scorsese doesn't know he's born. I wouldn't do that for £10k - far too much can go wrong on the day and put a dampener on the bride's day. Respect to you.
