Matt make a new 1000$ editing pc for 2018 with such high ram and gpu prices

[@drake6836]

By The Way gtx 1050ti 4gb or 1060 6gb or rx 570 4gb for editing?

[@whoismatt]

Haha oh man! Prices are insane right now! I would still try to get 16GB of ram and a 1050ti for budget 4K editing. That should hopefully all still be under $1000 :)

[@drake6836]

Matt WhoisMatt Johnson Is 1050ti good enough for 4k editing? Edit: you Make Great video's keep it up

[@whoismatt]

@lovefortech It'll get the job done! A GTX 1070 is currently the sweet spot for price to performance (if you can afford/find one lol)

[@SteveBrookfieldmusic]

What a fabulous video... just wow.

[@CodeRedLiveMusic]

Brilliant guys, keep making this pure gold, congrats on the timelapse its a beauty!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Danny!

[@charliecoquis3410]

[@happiestmommyontheblock6474]

Dream wedding/couple. Favorite wedding videographers. BTS of my all time favorite wedding film. Yeah. Safe to say I loved this post.

[@whoismatt]

Haha thanks Isaac! Colorado is ridiculous!

[@DakotaJ666]

Daaaang! Super awesome!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks so much Cody!

[@soamjena]

Nice footages. Do you follow the 180 shutter angle ? Meaning - keeping the A7s2 at shutter speed 1/50 while shooting at 4K25fps And shutter at 1/125 while shooting 1080p60fps And shutter at 1/200 while shooting 1080p100fps

[@whoismatt]

Yes I always follow it when shooting at 24 or 30fps. When I'm at 60fps or higher I don't follow it.

[@TiteraStudios]

Thank you for the wonderful BTS of such a scenic wedding in my home state. Great job, Matt! Pancakes!

[@michaeldajnarowicz9180]

Man I love the way you two film weddings! Keep up with the videos of how you guys go though wedding days

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Grant!

[@luboyanev]

This was such a good Wedding BTS, despite the minor imperfections your explanations still made it very comprehensive of what happened, and the .Exif infos are so helpful to see as well! Thank you for sharing

[@TheSpecterRanger]

Great stuff; amazing timelapse.

[@noejoe23]

I'm sitting here reloading a new computer and this video popped up. One heck of a job putting together a video with some epic footage and some BTS. Keep it up! It was great to meet you at your other Colorado wedding this year and hope to run into you again soon.

[@marcelinomoraportuguez6716]

Hi Matt ! I love your videos

[@whoismatt]

Hey thanks!

[@marcelinomoraportuguez6716]

@@whoismatt hi live in Colorado ,trying to find those spots 😃😃😃

[@xavier_arthur]

Cool

[@lmackreath78]

Even your behind the scenes footage looks amazing! are you grading this also and if so with a lut or just wheels and curves?..your greens and browns always look similar...

[@jethromendoza865]

Haha love how informative your videos are and your sense of humor! Keep up the amazing work bro. May I ask what you use to color calibrate your monitor?

[@whoismatt]

Thanks! Spyder5 Pro

[@vincefleming]

You should make a lut for sale! I love your coloring and i would totally buy it

[@LEXPIX]

Aweome vid as usual. Man, they must have had quite the wedding budget.

[@peterismuiznieks3477]

Glad to see you again in 2018!

[@BokehFilmStudios]

Loved this Matt, thank you!!! I'm going back and checking all your settings (which I super appreciate you listing) and noticed some pretty high ISO settings. Did you use some denoising software for this?

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Mike! Nope, no denoising software needed.

[@IssarCerrato]

Wazup bro!!! hope everything is awesome with you guys!!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Issar! :D Doing good!

[@Techy3Video]

Love the behind the scene stuff. How do your clients like the BTS stuff?

[@whoismatt]

They loved it!

[@IssarCerrato]

I just got a request of making a weeding movie.... and thank GOD you and your wife exists hahaha... I got all info I need to make an awesome film.

[@tnacrew]

awesome as always! Sadly don't see anything about mattflat in the description

[@whoismatt]

Ah my bad! I updated the description and added the link! :D

[@joaorosavisuals]

wooooo!! I just consume every single BTS the you do man, awesome work ;) but why did you need to go 20,000 iso on the timelapse? at 1.4? Damn it was dark...

[@whoismatt]

Haha! It was so dark! Really dark night combined with the fact that I didn't want the exposure to be any longer because I would be getting star trails.

[@AstroHBF]

I don't even shoot weddings but i really enjoy these videos!

[@PioneerCinema1]

This is awesome!! I'm actually about to started editing a wedding film from Colorado where the couple go married at the Maroon Bells. So this got me super hyped! Sharing with all my other wedding filmmaker friends now!!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Eddie! :D

[@StudioMoments]

Music at 12:54? I cannot find it in the description :-(

Ageless by Ian Locke

[@StudioMoments]

Thank You Sir :D

[@andrewcox9939]

Why did you use the ikan lights over the arri 150w? Color? Portability?

[@EventzQ8]

hi matt, what white balance setting did you use for the outdoor film. thnx

[@whoismatt]

Hey Harold! The white balance changes depending on the weather. We mostly shoot outdoors at a 5000 kelvin

[@thesteveprichard]

So very helpful to me. Thank you, fellow Texan who likes Colorado!!! Notice my avatar background?

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Steve! Always great to meet more Texans!

[@thesteveprichard]

Man, that's a fantastic video! Very professional! Loved watching it, 3 times.

[@thesteveprichard]

By the way, there's trout all around you! And bears, too.

[@whoismatt]

We saw a bear the day after the wedding! It ran across the road in front of us.

[@justuslm]

There's something you might want to try for the drone footage: As you may know, the D-Cinelike colour profile has a bit more colour depth and perhaps bandwith compared to the D-LOG profile but it lacks some dynamic range. My thought is that you might be able to use the D-Cinelike profile with reduced contrast to get the dynamic range and at the same time hopefully get more colour information than with the D-LOG profile. You might be able to get better results when colour grading (I don't know if this actually works, but I do think there's a good chance). I know that, usually, a log profile should really get all the image information so that you can get everything out of it in post, but even though the P4P's 100Mbps bitrate is quite high, it's not raw (and as far as I know, this "getting every bit of info by shooting as flat as possible" works best with raw footage). Also, obviously, the footage does look amazing, but at some points I did get the impression that the colours were less vibrant than they could/should be (and than they are with some of the other cameras) and I do think you are getting the best out of your footage in post. Or maybe this effect was intentional for the aerials to make the couple pop out a bit by keeping the background just a little bit dull? Anyways, if you find the time you can maybe play around with the D-Cinelike profile and the style settings and maybe get a small improvement to the footage done or find out that it doesn't help.

[@whoismatt]

I haven’t messed with D-Cinelike a ton, but I’ve found that D-Log works really well with a variety of color grading luts and still offers tons of versatility. Good ideas though :)

[@TheJoeyboots]

That was awesome you film better than your beard, thats no easy feat. Great Job WOW! Was the brides tattoo a Raven?

[@whoismatt]

Thanks! Yes I believe so

[@RonPalacio]

man! how many times do u need to change lenses! anyway great work

[@whoismatt]

Haha pretty often!

[@joecanon_]

Hey man very nice shots! I was just wondering do you jump all day from 30fps to 60fps?

[@whoismatt]

Yup I switch often

[@joecanon_]

Do you ever shoot in Toronto?

[@DynamicLearning4u]

So the a7sII is the fail proof camera to go to? No GH5?

[@whoismatt]

I’m sticking with the a7sii. Did you see my gh5 review?

[@neilyoungboy]

Hey Matt, Im gonna be filming a wedding in Europe in 2020, the whole thing is gonna be in the country and a lot of the candid shots are gonna be in a old castle. The thing is I have never been to Europe and a lot of what I know about the area (not the country I know a lot about it) so what I wanna know from your experience is how many days in advance should I arrive in Europe to do prep before the big day and how heavy of gear I should bring with me since Im gonna be flying from Canada and don't wanna risk carrying too much since I would be filming this wedding solo. Thank you SIR!!

[@whoismatt]

Hey Kevin! I would arrive a few days early to acclimate to the time change and make sure your gear all arrives safely. I wouldn’t bring a ton of gear, but it completely depends on what you have.

[@neilyoungboy]

@@whoismattthanks Sir, for me, I run Sony Gear, I'm planning to get the Sony A7ii prior to filming in Europe (if I get more than 5 bookings this year than this camera is a definite YES for 2019!). Id probably arrive on Thursday to get settled in and like you said check all my got there A-OK! I think id probably carry 2 DSLR's, a double tripod set, zhiyun crane, a shotgun and a lav set, do you think that sounds compact enough for a European destination wedding?

[@whoismatt]

@@neilyoungboy sounds good!

[@fatfro1]

Hi Matt, what would you say are the parts of a wedding that you must film?

[@whoismatt]

all of them?

[@quickpickle]

3:50 didn't know Gandalf was a film maker. XD

[@JohnHenkamGangte]

Hi, Matt! Why 30p over 24p?

[@whoismatt]

Hey John! I explained this a bit in my previous BTS videos. I like 30fps because it slows down just slightly and makes the film look smoother and a bit more dreamlike overall.

[@johnq287]

do you edit and export in 24p?

[@strandskovmedia4606]

Whats the slow down procent for 30 fps to 24 fps?

[@whoismatt]

25%

[@sieyon]

How much something this cost ... Looks awesomely expensive ... Love you Matt and your awesomely beard

[@sokolovfilms]

Matt, where were the missing subtitles? okay, I need to learn English ... thanks for the video!)))

[@elliegault]

How much do you typically charge for this wedding film?

[@sadlerstudios466]

Hey I was wondering if I could have some advice, I’ve recently filmed a wedding and the edit was a total of 8 mins. I was really impressed with the outcome as I thought it was shot really well. When I handed it to the client she was really angry because she wanted the video to last an hour. Now I showed her examples of wedding videos that were between 5-10 mins and she said she liked the style. So that’s what I did. I don’t really know what to do now as she’s refusing to pay. I’m only charging £100

[@tomistenqvist1311]

The accident with the chain reminded me of my biggest fear in life. Jumping over one of those chains with a skateboard and the back truck gets stuck on the chain which is a bit loose so there's a second where it gives and then it stops and you slam in to the ground 😭

[@whoismatt]

Hahaha yesss!

[@local9]

Honestly, sat here wondering what was up with the rain effect during the first look... nope, its really a shower, not an effect. Got the shot, got an amazing scene and great couple, honestly if it was sunny, might not of given the same dreamy romantic feel.

[@SigneofHorses]

You`re not so down with nature right? haha.

[@jds1991spies]

who would want to do this on there wedding or for a wedding? Whats the thought process?

[@chrismarcelomedia3218]

That couple. They can just pick a spot anywhere to get married?

[@whoismatt]

Yup

[@quitelikeryan]

Hahahaha IT’S OVER 9000

[@whoismatt]

That's impossible!!!

USE Mavic air next time, cheaper but with same quality

[@vincentchow8966]

bit rate is worse
