Reacting to the first wedding I ever filmed...from 2010!

[@aslye]

Is this a wedding between a piano and an organ?

[@elemental_video]

"I only got a 50mm. I'm goin' in." 😂

[@AsherSmithFilms]

iconic

[@GailEm]

LOL So many classic quotes.

[@UnifiedFilms]

Hahaha this makes me laugh so much. Absolute filmmaker memes.

[@ramymelhem]

I died when he said that Lmao

[@QuadzHeadshot]

Elemental Video Co. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MyVantasticLifeVoyage]

Imagine the couple viewing this critique in 2019.

[@MT-eb2dx]

For them, it might still be their best memories from their wedding.

[@SlideWreckDan]

To be fair, we now have the interwebs full of tutorials and advice haha Low key, I'm kinda glad I started pursuing filmmaking later with all the resources available

[@adamspark-hall5970]

*white screen at start and picture comes up* "Oh no......" I was crying already 😂

[@sameeroafbazivich2832]

Hi Matt, Sharing your first wedding film with your subscribers reflects how simple you are but also you make me believe that one day I can be as creative as you are. Thanks for being so realistic.

[@lindalawson4296]

This makes me feel so much better.

[@zimrimartinezsanchez9456]

Linda Lawson Same :)

[@AsherSmithFilms]

honestly same

[@UnifiedFilms]

Absolute same.

[@BlueFalcnActual]

lmao im in laughing pain tears rn... i just did my first wedding last week n im sitting here writing this thinking the same thing as i read ur comment

[@carandmel]

This totally makes me feel so much better... 😅 Still, how could you carry that camera for so many hours?? Thanks for this video Matt!

[@michaelandmyers]

Dude! This brought back so much nostalgia from me shooting my first wedding in 2011. Thanks for this.

[@filmografie.christian.kremsl]

"Lifehouse - You And Me" - We've all been at this point before. xD

[@mgmedia4082]

This video is great. Guarantee this will help people more, when they see where you started. Instead of them having huge expectations from themselves to emulate the best wedding filmmakers.

[@TrotterVideography]

Thanks Matt, We always look back on our firsts and laugh. Funny how when we created them we thought they were the BOMB. Look at how far weve come. Thanks for staying grounded, all of your work has been an inspiration to me.

[@christianhotter]

10 years is a long time when it comes to the equipment and software resources we have access to. Technology is making it so much easier to create films. We have more camera power in our phone that we had in shoulder carried video cameras back in the earlier days of wedding videos. We can add transitions and effects with a drag and drop instead of outsourcing our graphics work to a pro. We also have learning resources like Matt that we can use for free training and inspiration before we ever shoot our first paid video.

[@Quarker]

Please review more of your early weddings that you shot. I've been doing wedding videography for 1 year now, and your trips down memory lane are insanely useful for people like me!

[@whoismatt]

Did I use too many fades between shots? 😂

[@sorin_b.]

Neah. Just the right amount 😂

[@RolandoCocom]

This was fun and educational

[@AndrewBentonElevationFilms]

Man so weird! I used to do the exact same thing! 😂 ...Also, did the same thing following the couple back down the isle after the ceremony for like my first 3-4 weddings 😅

[@thepdxperception9028]

Matt WhoisMatt Johnson so I would like to submit a video for review! Do I just provide a YT link or do you do it a different way?

[@edong7220]

we've all been there :)

[@UnifiedFilms]

We've got two words for this video, Matt. Relatable and hilarious.

[@peewee693d]

I love your honestity sharing this with us, this reminds me that anyone knows all from the beginning, all is a path of knowledge and practice, thanks Matt.

[@anjamoerk]

Thank you so much for this video Matt! So entertaining and nice to watch! And yes, encouraging 😊

[@joproinc3294]

Awesome that you can look back and give yourself constructive criticism. I also think it’s a testament to how far you’ve come Matt, thank you for your knowledge and super stoked to see your growth. Great job

[@kifanes]

Note to self: Don't feel too bad about your first wedding film. Hahaha. In all seriousness, thanks for showing us this, gives me confidence to keep working on developing my skills.

[@TheBitengChronicles]

Dude! Yes!!! It is so awesome to see where you started. Absolutely love being able to see the growth to where you are now.

[@local9]

Honestly, seeing this, and your other videos, how you have grown... I'm glad I stumbled across you from Wedding Film School else I'd be in that very position with a 50mm, going in.

[@MikeSantis]

All I was thinking watching this video is, how do this couple feel about showing their big day and commenting how bad job you did on filming?

[@shadaiperez]

That's where my wife and I got married. Lol it's great to look at passed work and see how far you've come.

[@RedLimeVideo]

Thank you for sharing Matt. At least I now know you were not born with amazing filming skills on your first outing. I think we can ALL relate to every single criticism you had if we were to look back at our first wedding film.

[@Ben-fq1lj]

This would have been fun to have seen your wife’s reaction too!

[@johnsandbergg]

I just filmed my first wedding yesterday and this defiantly made me feel a little better haha, no hate to you though I love what you do !

[@lightleavespl]

Best clip of the day 🔥😍 We love to watch our previous wedding films. So funny!

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank you for posting this video. We all start somewhere.

[@mervynjack4108]

Great idea Matt, that was great seeing your early video and hearing your chat. You've inspired me to make some hight films of some very old weddings, particularly the ones for relatives. Free of course.

[@waynosfotos]

Looking back we can always see our limitations, but it is not that bad. Just look at newbie KZbinrs, and with a wedding, so much to worry about. Also cameras and accessories have improved greatly. So well done, it has lead you to where you are now. A self employed business. 👍

[@videoboda]

Remembering the past with joy is good. Matt was the best job that could have been done at that time. How beautiful is the beginning of everything. Reggards

[@MrJd829]

Haha. I think they got their money’s worth. And thank you for doing this. You looked embarrassed about it. But kept going. We’ve all been there and are to afraid to go back and share with friends. Let alone KZbin 🙌🏼

[@squizznut]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's so hard to compare where I'm at right now with your exceptional videos but seeing that, with all due respect, makes me feel like I can and will do better with each and every vid from now on. You are certainly adding value to your business with your tutorials. Cheers from Down Under!

[@Jzaindustries]

The shirt 😂 - this is gold and makes me cringe about my first wedding shoot!

[@UnifiedFilms]

"Why was I doing a wind-woosh?" 😂

[@PostColorGear]

You've just inspired me to post the same kind of video with MY first wedding video (after the next one I upload to my channel) - thanks for posting this! It's nice to know that we all pretty much started at the same point.

[@003viktor]

Your very professional now is 2020 ......yes #1 your first video was very normal, I hate peoples who complains with negative energy . Mostly I like your very normal human, positive happy with positive energy. I hate people negative trying with to much bla bla bla just to try to be the best for them , but with your heart ....your personality shows everything to me and my girlfriend she like your videos I showed to her .... bravo Matt

[@williamdlc3]

Would love to see you do a re-edit of an old wedding from 2010 with 2021 editing skills, did that for the first debut I ever shot for my cousin (basically like a Filipino quinceaneara) and was a good challenge to see how editing can save your ass

[@jshack930]

Thank you for doing this! It's encouraging to see what time devoted to getting better can do!

[@mututeanchu5167]

I am beginner film maker and I love this video . With love from Africa, Zambia...

[@ChaukeStudios]

As a company I'd say YES since they got all the full length clips for what was happening during the day It was worth it

[@moxyreels]

This was as educating as one of your regular videos and also fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@emarqu08]

Thanks for sharing! It is interesting to see how much the equipment and industry has transformed over the last 10 years. . I have had multiple couples request the entire dance or entire speeches after they have been trimmed down even just a little, so I tend to just leave mine a little longer.

[@vanbuerenvisualsllc4827]

Nice critique - we all start somewhere; it's that we started is what is important; right? Yes, definitely got their money worth - think of the memories this will bring for them in the future!

[@blythemajors9193]

This is great Matt.. I’m thinking about getting into film and it’s really cool to see how you started out and to where you are now in your skill set.

[@LeeWeh]

Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing.

[@turinhorse4232]

youre the best Matt. goin through all your videos now

[@burnhard.]

I laughed so hard looking at your review of this, and also looking at it. TY

[@antman1762]

I do weddings and in some resort I am still a beginner. This video was very entertaining. I love it and Im sure the bride and groom did too. Just to capture their special day. Im in dallas to and would love to work with you if you need some physical labor. Thanks for sharing.

[@m77ast]

I think it is nice - starts with some cool broll... I liked it...

[@thebrothersthre3987]

I mean the fisheye shots were probably better composed and exposed than the rest of the shots lol

[@christopherbunao4788]

Thanks for this matt! Now i dont feel bad on my first wedding video 😂. I'm currently editing my 2nd wedding video right now, and i learned a lot from your videos!

[@DylanM15]

I'm so critical with any of my edits! Ahah Just have to keep working on it though. Honestly though next video: "I re-edit my first wedding video!"

[@jsleger3404]

HAHAHA I love it! Can't stop laughing :D I did the same thing last week; I watched my first wedding video (2014) with one of my couples, we laughed so hard

[@JonnyHavens]

Canon 7D!!!! Yessssss that was my first wedding video camera too! Loved that thing. Wild to think about how I upgraded straight from a 7D to a C200.

[@alanhunter2051]

Fair play to you for showing it. My first wedding was on video 8 a Sony brick. Failed many years ago on a bounce test...

[@danielzee]

OMG! That was kind of embarrassing to watch.. lol. Thanks for sharing. You've come a long way... we all have.

[@DrewTooley]

HAHAHA this is brilliant. Loved this video Matt.

[@ryanmobley8546]

This may be the best version of a glo up ive ever seen xD

[@sebatronik1]

For 2010 this is normal, I've seen worse

[@herringlake6887]

Thank you Matt. This video is exactly what I needed today.

[@eternalimageswestmidlandsw4831]

Hahaha brilliant, love this. Still better than my first few weddings!

[@flappytaco]

It's been a hard day. I needed that windwhoosh.

[@whoismatt]

😂😂

[@Osmien118]

...matt, as always, im enjoying your vids. but i wish in this one you would have added the "what-to-do - instead of doin like this, you could have done this". because i havent even shot my 1st wedding yet! haha

[@TheAugusts]

Super encouraging! Love this

[@tick-tackgirl335]

l filmed my first wedding in August. He was someone l knew from church and told me 15 days before the wedding. He paid me under 1000 for over 10h not including driving to the location which was 40 min away. l had setbacks with editing, due to going on vacation and parents getting sick with covid and needing to take care of them, the editing process took longer than expected. l gave them the rough cut version of it since they were asking last month and he messaged me that night and said it was terrible. my heart sank, l told him that it was only a rough cut and he said there's no way l can save it unless l have some hidden footage which l do since l used two cameras. l was devastated. lm working very hard on their official video and re-editing the rough cut. no one will ever understand how hard you work on something only you.

[@annikayanez]

Not skipping ads!!!

[@AlexanderCornel]

Wow you are so awesome and down to earth! Love your channel! You inspired me to start filming.

[@cweb1988]

gotta start somewhere.....I like seeing people's first stuff.....shows that reality.

[@nikolaytsvetkov5440]

2010 we have iPhone 4 Matt :) so people have cell phones back then :). Overall i like it :) . In my country (Bulgaria) we give people 1 trailer (5-10 min) and the whole recording from the wedding (3-5 hours)

[@lucasthornton5231]

Very good stuff gah bro I hate those orange lights....... 🤣

[@TheToneWork]

Haha! Great review and great to see how we all learn. Btw, I just used this same music for a video for consultants.

[@tipen18]

This gave me a motivation 🙌🏻 thanks Matt!

[@Qtwithtq]

But did the bride and groom love it? At the end of the day... that's all that really matters. 😂

[@albertprawira5543]

the wind whoosh hit me hard. lol.

[@NCPhotography]

I do mostly quinceaneras and hispanic weddings and they want their video to be at least a minimum of 3 hours. It's just weird I've always wanted to try a wedding or quince in this format, but I've never gotten the chance to do so.

[@edgardbmedia]

Hey Matt, are you still doing these types of video reviews? Would love to get some feedback on my first wedding gig. Love all your videos. Blessings

[@FergbyFive]

Oh My God, thank you for sharing, love it. So many tales I could tell too. How we grow! Also technology and our finances grow too which give us extra space to grow (and stuff up!).

[@MichalOlender]

I'm shooting my first wedding this Saturday, this video actually got me some anxiety and now I'm scared...XD

[@prathikhirematt3441]

How did you do it mate ?

[@RiseHigh]

it is so funny to see yourself criticized so hard what you were doing, haha ! Thank you Matt !

[@robbauer3104]

I love this. Thank you, Matt.

[@adamcam805]

This is great. I just sent off my first wedding video yesterday. I’m sure I will look back at it in 10 years and cringe

[@NorbertKrysa]

everybody started once, the first doesn't mean worse. Go back in time and you will do the same. Good job - keep going!

[@forestandivoryfilms]

Haha! Man this is awesome. That fisheye lens though. Where can I buy that?

[@toneloc698]

"Took the shot because The photographer took the shot" ..... 😂yeah, never done that before 😒

[@sezair0]

It’s worth it absolutly

[@deproduction21]

You inspire me.

[@BBWinner48]

WOW, No tripod @ the Brides entrance.... and could do without Picture in Picture...I can hear you just fine...

[@carolinaneira5940]

that wind sound! I've been there! Hahaha

[@ilyayablonsky5458]

Love the way you critique, not too harsh but not too easy as well! Where can I submit my wedding video for review?

[@techsavvydaddy5616]

GOD!!!! that reminds me of my first wedding video.... Only my was a gift to the Bride and Groom. I had 3 cameras A-Canon 80D with Nifty Fifty back of room, a Canon T5i with 10-18mm and a GoPro HERO5 in the other corner....and 1 lav on Groom...LOLz

[@jakelarntz]

I literally said "Was that intro shot on a go pro?"

[@whoismatt]

😂 would have been about the same!!

[@jakelarntz]

@@whoismatt recently shot my first wedding it was a total shit show but I'm happy with what I was able to squeeze out of it haha.

[@johannjensson6190]

First few seconds, and i was impressed with the colors of your video. If you don't mind me asking: What color grade do you use? Or is it just the camera profile that makes such a nice harmony between blue shirt and skin tone?

[@BagusBanours]

il love the first "hooo noo " hahahahaha

[@HaydenGoldsworthy]

This is solid, I'll try these techniques at my next wedding!

[@whoismatt]

Yeah there’s a lot of expert moves in here

[@najibsaripadapotatography7124]

that fine back in the day, that is real good.

[@nekistayfruity]

Same thought in the beginning: Oh no😂

[@ice_ryda]

😂 that was highly entertaining

[@farook_]

Wow that was horrible, like mine :P . I almost quit video making thinking that I am not good enough, and I am never going to be like you or other talented filmmakers out there. This, right here showed me that I should be consistent and keep practising to master the craft. Thank you for this. 👏 *Not a native English speaker

[@Enchantedmediapro]

We are only human my brother.......Thanks for the video it was fun....
