Share your workflow! Canon 5d Mark III filmmaking

[hasselblad]

Don't you mind sharing your workflow from taking out the card from the camera until the end? Thanks!

? not any different than any other videocam. copy files off of card to hard drive. open files in vegas pro 12. edit.

You didn't click on that link did you?

Hehehe, all that tiny text doesn't work anymore, just makes you look like a scammer. Not professional.

Did I miss something?

idk - what tiny text? his wedding site is better than a lot of them i've seen.

i shoot 1920x1080p30 with canon 60d's using magic lantern firmware. afaik you can shoot the same with the 5d3 with or without the firmware upgrade. nothing special about the .mov files they produce. i do use rode stereomics on them as the built in mics are useless.

OK, I get it. You're a still photographer.

And you want to know how to make your photos look better?

Or you want to animate them?

Yes, that's what I am going to do! You are right with the built in mic. It is not really good. Do you recommend the rode mics?

Not really. I am shooting wedding films.

yes rodes work well - either the shotgun or the stereomic, which i use as i mostly film live music performances.

i didn't scroll down last time i looked at the site. the mile long text is a put off and needs an editing by someone with a better grasp of english. maybe divide it up into little blurbs scattered throughout the pictures? other parts of the site need the text fixed also. the photos are a treat though!

The workflow depends on your capability to design and implement something that customers are willing to pay for.

If your customers like Bollywood-style design, then study that model and try to emulate it.

Take a snap from a style you want to do, and bring it into your project. Play around with the color controls and try to make your video look the same, then save that as a custom preset.

I'm quite familiar with Gujarati style, and they like a lot of bling and music, and they are more conservative and traditional in their thinking. So keep it clean, happy, and fun and you'll have success.

Your logo looks fine on the stills, as a watermark, but maybe needs some improvement for your website. But like I said, if it works for your customers, then don't change it.

Thanks for the advice!
