When in Russia...

[Boostslut]

Wow, i wonder what set it all off? Crazy stuff going down in Mother Russia!

[BinsentoW]

WTF happened at 0:30? The 2 guys fighting get up one after the other and smash the same video camera and continue chasing each other. And that was from someone wearing same shirt as him.
Gave me a good laugh though.

[Soundy]

The chick photographer has a nice ass!

[CP.AR]

I have a feeling that this might be some sort of viral marketing...

[ilvtofu]

Holy shit i cringed so hard when I saw him throw that camera 10ft in the air :/

[J____]

wow how un professional lol. way to ruin a wedding, at least take it out after the fact or in hiding. Way to ruin a reputation.... but it's russia, you never know. he might get more clients now haha.

[Senna4ever]

I've wanted to beat the shit out of some videographers before too.

[m3thods]

[Dr. Robot]

I no longer shoot weddings, but I've experienced it from the photo side, and video side. I'm surprised there aren't fights more often lol. Even if you clearly lay ground rules so that you don't get in each others' shots, it rarely works.

Photographers tend to think they are of higher importance than videographers, and are so damn stubborn to work with. I'm not bitter, just saying .

What? Of course we're more important than videographers!
That's a given - especially those that still use tungsten/halogen lights on their cameras. Heh...

[frostedLS]

LOL you caught my unedited post I see...

Funny you mention that, I've used halogen lights a few times and had photographers thank me for the added light, especially on the dance floor.

[Senna4ever]

Oh, the dance floor is fine. It's when they use tungsten/halogen at the bride & groom's houses during the 'getting ready' shots and they turn on the light, it fucks up the white balancing because of the daylight coming in through the windows.

[frostedLS]

Ah yes, makes sense. I'm not sure why one would even try that though... Problem is many videographers pick up an expensive camera, without any previous photography/cinematography knowledge, and call themselves professionals

so what do you suggest they use? using the daytime light coming in through the room isnt enough light.

[Senna4ever]

There are daylight balanced LED lights specifically made for video cameras like the LitePanel brand that throw a softer but brighter light than the tungsten/halogen bulbs.

[sunny_j]

with daylight balanced LED lights you get a blueish hue to the video.

[Senna4ever]

Not if you use the the LED's that are properly balanced like the LitePanel brand.
