This video is amazing! The emotions are flying off the screen. I especially love the song. Do you know where I can get it because it's not available on iTunes.

at the garba and reception it certainly is. what a treat it was.

Hi Jeffrey, were were in Johnson City TN (or Tri Cities as it's called sometimes).

Beautiful city with no traffic and ultra friendly people!

hi jarrett,

i think in shooting the footage as close to exposure and proper white balance as possible really negates the need to color correct. what we spend more time on would be secondary grading and giving the footage a look and feel. for some pieces it is very subtle, such as a warm tone, and for some it serves to be more in your face, such as the yellow tint in darshan and raina's trailer.

P.

do you guys use apple color for grading during a same day edit?

hi Janix

all cameras shot @ 30P -> timeline 30P -> final edit is 30P.

while we absolutely love the look and feel of 24P; we feel that it takes a back seat to the composition/movement of shots, lighting, story telling, but most importantly the emotions that carry the entire piece.

content is forever King.

it is tough to create a piece that everybody will love and nobody will find fault in. i can see that we have more shallow dof in this and some of our recent pieces since we have implemented more MKII footage. our take is that depth of field is as important a part of the storytelling as the color, composition, soundtrack etc and it should be chosen and used with the same amount of care. we feel that the dof really varies with the mood and genre in which your shooting. action/thriller/comedy type stuff is generally wider and deeper dof to allow for improv and action. drama is usually in tight and shallower to bring you into the emotion and focus you. note how we shoot the guys preps with wider lenses and a deeper dof, as we did with the barrat which was high action. the shallower dof came in when the tone got more serious and reflective, such as the bride getting ready and the ceremonies. i'm not sure about you, but i think that is pretty well thought out and effective use of our dof in a wedding film.

all transitions (including the whip-pan) were planned and storyboarded beforehand and hence everything was done in camera + final cut pro very simply.

who said we were still sane? i think that is up for debate.

P.

thanks for such kind words. we struggled with finding the right soundtrack as we needed something diverse but, in the end, i think this was the right choice.

Hi Perfect-Day.

Patrick speaks here re: using the 5D and the rigs we use to achieve rock solid footage.
