Wedding Filmmaking Behind The Scenes: Kaley & Doug filmed with the Sony A7S II

[@christianhotter]

The most important tip we can pick up from this is how to direct the bride/groom. That's the skill that will let someone graduate from being the second shooter to getting their own jobs. I like how you helped make it fun for them while being sure you got the shot you wanted.

[@andrewbabbans]

I don't know how you put up with the "cheesiness" (?) of all this weddings but I LOVE your work and how much you put into these videos! Forever thankful✌️

[@g_rant_]

dang, the prism trick during the make-up getting ready at 6:51 and the back up recorder on the mic at the reception at 17:43 are really, REALLY good tips. Awesome info. And the dance floor light you can adjust from your phone tip at 20:14 jeez this video is full of great advice.

[@ChuckEdwardsHair]

This was so fun to watch!

[@TommyGunsDunleavy]

Great video!!! If you can only take one lens to a wedding and film all day and night.... What lens would you choose or buy?

[@nixofftime]

Matt you are a legend! This is an incredible content, educational and FREAKING INSPIRING! Your directing skills and teaching skill are amazing. I am keen to sign up for your course

[@fangli]

Yes matt this content is gold! please next next next more BTS wedding day like this

[@1995media1]

Beautiful. I can't wait to see the wedding film or highlights. Thanks Matt you teach us a lot. Much love from cameroon, africa

[@ducktominh]

it's already out!! this is a wedding from 2018 :D

[@alexandercarrerafilms9138]

You always make magic, Matt!! From México!!! Thank you for show us, how your eyes see!! 🙌🏻☺️

[@BennyThePhotographer]

Great Job, you do some of the best BTS and have the best personality, 100% worth watching. Not sure why others don't include camera settings, that's a huge learning help. You could easily start a new channel of just BTS. Thanks

[@justesmond]

I love watching you work Matt!

[@LSJMediaProductions]

Morning bro, very educational video. Question, whats the name and model of the lights? Looking for portable lights but if you've upgraded to something better feel free to let me know. Better yet can you do a review of your favorite wedding lights?

[@LuisVegaVideos]

Nice! I wanna see more, thanks for helping with your work!

this couple is so nice and lovely! and your video is super helpful!

[@vzbeatz1706]

Matt i just learn some good tips from this video, i just did a wedding last friday the lighting was very challenging inside the venue, im def gonna recruit a second shooter

[@DimitarMinchevFilm]

Great BTS, Matt, as always! Just one question - how do you get your handheld shots that smooth without any stabilization? No OIS, no IBIS, gimbal or a monopod!

[@christianwagnerfilms]

Great bts again.... Which videomic are you using?

[@CPSWEDEN]

Hi! Cool video. I notice that one of your cameras are recording 30fps and the other 24. Are you going to slow down the 30fps to 24 to get a little smoother look? Will such a small change make any difference? Thx! Enjoyed the video 🙏

[@SacredThomas]

Love your BTS wedding videos man! Austin based filmmaker here! Go Texas!

[@awillproductions3450]

Hey Matt, Great video! Just curious how did you monitor the Tascam’s audio with the zoom H5?

[@sanjaysingha8911]

I at almost halfway the video. Qhat picture profile did you shoot the indoors in?? They look so good.. its not slog cause the iso is 200? Was it cine 4 or cine 2 or just no pp (With any modifications in creative)?? Btw Love youe videos matt. Keep them coming!!

Your handheld footage looks amazing! Do you put a stabilizer on that in post?

[@whoismatt]

Usually not, just lots of practice with steady hands haha

[@visualmaestro77]

Excellent vid Matt, thank you! I'm curious though, why did you have one camera recording at 24fps and the other at 30fps?

[@CasenFerg]

Hey Matt! I love your content, and one my favorite mini series you’ve done is your pc builds. Since canon has a new 19k sensor can you make a video for a cheap 19k video editing computer?

[@Kristoagui001]

Matt thank you for another amazing video! how do you get the colors to match so well even though you're using different lenses? I have an A7SIII, A7RIII and A7III Sigma art 50mm, Tamron 28-75, Tamron 17-28 and two Sony 70-200s and the images on all three cameras are completely different based on what lens I put on!! I'm still new to wedding films so im not confident enough to be using Picture profiles like s-log etc because im scared myself and my second wont be exposing properly and ruin the footage? any tips on how to make the colors consistent for a good base on my cameras?

[@liz_travels]

Hey Matt I loved the video! Do you have to add any kind of warp stabilizer to your handheld footage?

[@towermedia5940]

Mooooooooooooooore BTS:es

[@BrianBakerCA]

Awesome as always! Keep up the good work sir!

[@carlosilvafilms]

Hi matt I just wanted to ask when you shoot like this first dance, are you using manual focus or autofocus?

[@davidschwan]

[@WeddingPhotographyAndFilms]

Awesome man, thanks for doing another BTS!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks for watching!

[@KJMGarage]

Okay I got a question. How is it that every wedding you do seems to run so smooth and the couples are so cool? I know you’ve been doing this for years and charge way more so you get better clientele, but I’ve shot a couple weddings and it’s always something. Like how do you deal with things not going right or not working right? Every wedding I’ve shot. Something has always been a problem. I dream of the days of stuff running this smoothly.

[@RossBarnett02]

Simple answer: FilmStrong is Expensive. When you charge $4k-$6k or more for every wedding you get brides who also pay a lot for wedding planners/coordinators. When ALL vendors are pros and know what they’re doing scheduling is a breeze. But also, things will always go wrong and be rushed sometimes. Gotta just adapt and conquer. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Arvidje]

good planning and preparation ahead is the key. Prepare every detail in what stuff and when to set up. These are time consumers

[@satyaprakashjoshi1166]

Marvelous work 🔥🔥 Keep it up

[@kowalskivideos6476]

Is there a good reason to shoot 30p mixed with 24p for getting ready shots. Very curious!

[@dsperlich25]

Hey Man, great stuff. Older video I know but i noticed you are shooting ISO 200-400 in a lot of these. Curious as native for slog2 is 1600 on a7sii. What profile are shooting if not slog

[@whoismatt]

Custom profile I call Mattflat. There’s a video about it on my channel :)

[@matthewklinsmann9591]

Great stuff!

[@didgeproject]

What picture profile were you guys shooting in?

[@Shawn_X20A]

who is matt johnson? Why am I watching this? Why am I subscribed to his channel? Why is it so fun to watch?

[@ZimLi]

Hi Matt, is there a reason why you decide to shoot the parents dance in 24fps and 60fps?

[@pavolvarga]

great colors from a7sii, some luts?

[@leighmosley7873]

If Matt is too busy, I’d appreciate any other input on how to solve my problem of moving the record button function from the top of the camera to a button on the back. Thanks

[@leighmosley7873]

BTW, love your videos.

[@hangdown]

What’s the recorder you put in the sleeve?

[@sanjaysingha8911]

My goodness. In 2018!!! I was just starting out at that time... Hahah.

[@g3nerik]

Great to see the BTS - thanks for that. I noticed you sometimes film at 24fps and sometimes 30, I was just wondering if there was a specific reason for doing that?

[@mjrinfl]

He does that so he can slow the 30 down to 24 for a dreamy affect. 24 for anything where someone is talking and he needs to match the audio.

[@g3nerik]

@@mjrinfl gotcha! Thanks. I’m in the UK on PAL a lot - just realised that’s why there’s the 24 and 30 option!

[@mjrinfl]

@@g3nerik no worries. Yeah, just adapt that for your pal and go from there :)

[@davesfilmingservices4377]

Matt great BHS video. Can I ask where did you get the sleeve to fit over the microphone ? Cheers. Dave from the UK.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Dave! Sleeve is from a company called MicFX

[@justcarryonnow]

Didn't you grab the white tascam for the bride but I see you putting on the black one during letter reading?

[@DanielTuriman]

Hey mat, What focus type are you using?

[@kencampbell5855]

I follow Scott McKenna, wedding film school, Kraig Adams. Tyler Herrington, Ray Roman, Gear Glasses and Gadgets and several others. These are all mainly wedding videography content creators and educators on youtube. They are all very good and informative channels, but, if you are wanting to learn from the best educator, communicator, very bright videographer, then Matt Johnson has them all beat hands down. I am a 20 + year videographer and Matt is the best of them all. I just wanted to put this out there. I do not know Matt but if I was wanting to hire a videographer, he would be my first choice. If you have not subscribed to his channel, I suggest you do so right now. You will not regret it. Please keep making video's for your youtube channel. Thanks Matt!

[@JirehTorres]

Do you use autofocus on a7sii? Thank you!

[@filmsfromlewis]

What camera bag are you using Matt? Couldn't see it on your kit list

[@georgeroussis9557]

my question is you mic the bride ok we see it but after the ceremony how you take it off and the stickers?

[@DolisterCovers]

Not even 30sec in and I can't stop laughing.

[@leighmosley7873]

Matt please help me. I just received my a7siii. I have been trying to reassign the movie record button on the top of the camera to the C1 or any button on the back of the camera. Is this possible?

[@fitdrummr]

Does the a7sii have heating issues?

[@WestVirginiaWILD]

120fps at night! My GH5 would literally be like naaaahhhhh not gonna do it lol.

[@DavidNiedbala]

Wow, thought for sure you'd be using the a7s3 not the 2.
