One good tip to add for sound: always record a few minutes of "room tone". This is simply the ambient sound of where you are and will allow you to make smooth edits in your sound as it will provide a continuous consistency sound.

I would imagine your courses are amazing. I've been producing for over 35 years. What I love about your videos is how rapid they are and how many samples you have when you speak of something. I know it's a lot of work and thought process. For me it's like a refresher of what I already know. I would imagine newbys want to stop the video to absorb the information. You can never stop learning. Thank you 8-)

[@joshmillerdp]

Just shot two weddings a couple weeks ago and used a ton of stuff from you. I've been trying to keep my colors a lot more clean like yours as well. Thanks Parker.

[@RyanEdwardsPhotography]

Dude these videos are so good. So good bro.

[@thelinthicums3295]

See previous on the bro-ing.

[@AlexJenkins]

Watching these videos makes me so jealous. Seeing the gear and having clients....it's a struggle in such a over-polluted market.

[@chrislyons4653]

I know and also to have a crew like that. I am all by myself trying to get dress shots and then run off to set up for ceremony. They have to charge a bundle though for all that man power and a equipment.

[@brucewilliams8609]

Parker is one amazing dude.... I see a future for him (later in life) teaching at college. He's got the talent for it, which not everyone has. Great job Parker!

[@wilsoneusebio777]

Nice!! I was filming in a big Catholic church, inside the church looks wonderful... but I think is harder because of ligthing.

[@IanSchultzandMackenzieSchultz]

I'm a full-time filmmaker it was probably one of the best investment I've ever made He has some amazing content on his website definitely worth it if you're looking into it Thanks for everything you're doing Parker

Your demonstration is world classic, you are a classic example of excellency

[@michaelluzecky4026]

Watching your FTF videos from your course has been one of the highlights of my year so far. I got this course for my birthday last year and it’s been a great gift to learn so much more about filmmaking than I already knew.

[@videobyshannon]

I'm loving your content! I'm just getting back into video after many years...things have changed a lot. Your course seems like a no brainer. Even for a someone who made a full time business of video back in the SD era.

[@colinlyonsphotography54]

I've shot 10 years as a still shooter and I contract video guys to work with me. Overall this video is really good. The one thing I might change is to skip the wireless mic. The lav is correct (and that placement is genius) but just use a tascam dr-10 or similar device to record into the groom's jacket. Out in the boonies it's cool, but downtown in Chicago those wireless signals are jammed like crazy. Nothing but issues with wireless mics in urban areas. Wireless lav presents a serious risk of the lav audio recording being lost with no advantage. The dr-10 also records at two gains (volumes) to avoid missing important audio. Way less pressure on the lav audio source if the ceremony is miced like this, but more and more I'm seeing ceremonies go unplugged so pressure is on the lav to provide audio.

Very generous for this man to share his hard work. Wedding coming this Saturday to shoot. This was a great video training to attend!

[@SmartCityBhubaneswar]

Great Job bro...

[@joshyt684]

My little sister's wedding is on December and she wants me to take pictures for her. As an older brother I wanna capture her moments and make it the best for her. These are really good tips for beginners like me, Thanks :)

[@seraphin01]

Jay Bee to be fair if you want to be a good brother you'd better hire a talented photographer and let him/her do the job.. As much love and care you'd put into this it's not gonna be good, it's a real job that need practice, knowledge and experience, trust me am saying this for your sister's sake

[@libafried5840]

Jay Bee Good luck. Photography is very hard, I would recommend being a second shooter before shooting weddings solo, but if you are doing videography, just practice a lot beforehand, make sure you have a good video camera for low light with a good microphobe for quality sound and good luck!

[@TWgamerbuilder]

so do you ALWAYS shoot 60fps at a wedding? I know a lot of wedding films often use slow motion in a good majority of their shots but I also know that you should necessarily be compressing 60fps footage to 24fps for normal speed shots. people tell me record 24 when you know you want no slo mo but tbh I never know what moments exactly I want in slow mo and normal speed

[@killerkonsti767]

TWHD. Then why not record 60 and in post, you can use slomo and compress the none slomo to 24

[@TWgamerbuilder]

killer konsti well thats what I do the majority of the time but I'm being told that I shouldn't be doing that and that compressing the 60 to 24 isn't good. honestly though I can't tell any difference in quality so I'll probably just keep doing it

[@juliethebeans2]

TWHD. Playing back higher frame rates like 50, 60, or 120 is typically fine to playback at 24 or 23.9 What you don't want to do is change your sequence to a higher frame rate. If your sequence is set to 60fps and your footage is at 24, you will experience choppyness and repeated frames

[@aboutrightmediagroup7962]

It's more of a technical issue. If you shoot your entire project at 60 fps, but your base project is say, 24 fps, then you will be losing frames because 60 divided by 24 isn't an even number. The footage can come off a tad bit choppy. Some may not think twice about it visually, but there is a reason why the higher end camera's offer a wide amount of frame rates (24, 30, 48, 60, 120 etc.) On a creative aspect, framerates that are higher than the base are used for slow-mo's or speed up techniques vice versa. Lastly higher framerates require a bit more processing power when the base framerate is changed.

[@michaelluzecky4026]

According to Parker, shoot 60 fps for any shots of the bride and groom kissing, hugging, them hugging their families, basically any shot besides when you get footage of a person talking that will be used in the final product. When someone’s talking, as in like the minister or the best man or maid of honor, that’s when you go for 24 fps.

[@davidpittmansalaam6100]

Awesome man!!!! I have a wedding coming up. I have two cameras. About to get a third and a few lav mis. You're tutorial is AWESOME!!!

[@justdoittom8431]

Your videos are on another level…you are a gem I found on this youtube treasure hunt.

[@takeniteasyfriend]

Thanks for Filmmaker's Guide to Audio reference. Also liked the way you plugged it (a lesson in itself). Overall impressed with your references. CineChopper, AudioGuy, and Grumbo. Wow!

[@cynthiamendoza2955]

Hello Parker!Im aspiring FilmMaker,im very impressed with your work,a lot of learnings i've got.

[@FramedProductions]

I've done a few weddings and found that the hardest part to get used to was finding your place and being comfortable moving around. It feels so awkward to be out there in front of everyone during the ceremony and I usually try to stay out of the way as much as possible.

[@MurrayFrost]

I've filled some weddings and they are hard! Good for you! 👍💪

[@BlueBelfix]

@ParkerWalbeck Compliments. You understand perfectly that you love your work from the wonderful quality of your images !!! Sensitivity to human aspects brings great results! When you were working with Devin, you knew perfectly when you were behind the camcorder !!! Very beautiful the celebration of the great Quentin Tarantino !!!! Thank you, you are really a great !!!

[@tenhopinvestmentslimited3911]

In uganda that work can be done one person then the otheron photography....but but this is class...i repeat this is extra class

[@dntv7006]

Question about filming weddings: how do you deal with hecklers/upset family and friends at the wedding who are angry about you filming or "getting in the way"?

[@vicentesolis1546]

They couple pay you for the video, tell the angry people to talk to them.

[@RyanEdwardsPhotography]

Love the Office mug

[@JimmyBarris843]

Quick question. How long do your weddings usually come out to in the final edit/product? Weddings I've shot and edited in the past have ran 30, sometimes even 40 minutes for a final run time. Most of the wedding videography I've seen in recent times however (such as wedding videography produced by you) come out anywhere from 5, sometimes 15 minutes in runtime max. Just looking for a professional opinion.

[@eyedewfilms6588]

Parker good as hell but the film poets and Kraig Adams are the guys that make it look a lot simpler. Good content

[@mfaproduction9823]

Lucas from SLOVAKIA! Great work dude :)

[@billem16]

Man I have so much to learn lol. Love the BTS video for beginners like myself. I use a glide cam with a fixed 24 lens but drool over your tighter shots when you can adjust from 24 to 70 and adjust your glidecam I seconds. I should get a lens like that... but learning to adjust the glidecam while on the clock in a ceremony would stress me out haha.

[@criticaldesignz]

This quality :O I need YOU at my wedding in germany! maybe in 2 years.

Wow getting smooth on a 70mm thats awesome

Great video Parker, I really enjoyed it. Would you consider uploading a job shadow of filming a wedding reception as well?

hey parker, i would love to see your raw footage vs graded footage, not a color grading tutorial but just a before and after of both.

[@juancabrera5505]

andrew J how did it go?

[@jeremycombs6462]

@Parker Walbeck. Great footage, but it seems really intrusive considering the ceremony. I'm sure you had discussions with the wedding party prior to the event. What were their thoughts on that? Great work, and great tutorial.

[@coltonsandoval5293]

Hey Jeremy, Im actually the groom from the video so I thought I would respond real quick. There was nothing about the experience that felt in any way intrusive and there was no need for much discussion prior to. In fact, we were so caught up in the actual moment that we didn't even notice they were anywhere around us! Parker creates the most awesome wedding videos I have ever seen and his process is necessary for the results. We were very fortunate to have him there. Being able to relive that moment and share it in such detail is not something many people have the option of! Long story short, nothing felt intrusive and we would not have had it any other way :)

[@redtvproductions1]

That was his job you idiot. Thats what he was there for.

[@jeremycombs6462]

Colton Sandoval Thanks for the reply, Colton. That's great to hear from your side of the project. Definetly makes me feel a lot better regarding taking care of the client. Congratulations on the marriage! Been there, man. I remember those jitters I'm glad you guys ended up with with the wonderful video to remember the day. Parker really does great work.

[@Jeff-yz8qm]

I know exactly what you mean. I was thinking the same thing. Good to see the groom's perspective BUT if I were a guest I wouldve been annoyed seeing these guys swooping in the middle of the ceremony. Granted I could appreciate the kinds imagery being created, but from a guest's standpoint I would have been distracted which in turn would pull me away from the entire ceremony altogether. These are beautiful videos no doubt but very intrusive in my opinion.

Hi Parker Welbeck, if you have a team of cameramen, aren't the friends, family and guests just as important to film during the ceremony? Thanks, James.
