Jason and Jared stare into the darkness that is life after weddings an explore how our beloved industry is not set up to create a comfortable retirement and some ways to beat the odds and retire comfortably. Life after weddings is a daunting idea for wedding filmmakers. Not only is the loss of our art scary, but for many the idea of losing our ability to do this job brings up a sad reality: Many of us are not set upon for retirement. In this episode (that is admittedly ALL over the place) Jason and Jared explore the ways that a soloprenuer, artists driven narrative has lead many people down an insecure path and some ways we can come back from the brink and create sustainable careers in wedding filmmaking beyond the top 5% of earners. 🚨Our Favorite Gear For Wedding Filmmakers | http://bit.ly/WFSKit 🚨 In this episode we break down the impact of a potential national/global economic downturn on Wedding Filmmaking and how to plan for recession in these uncertain times. 🎹 Free Wedding Song Playlist | http://share.mscbd.fm/wfsplaylist ▶️ Main Channel | www.youtube.com/weddingfilmschool 👨🏼‍🏫 Mentorship | http://www.weddingfilm.school Companies We Recommend: 🎵 Musicbed (1 month free on annual) | https://geni.us/FahjKew 💻 NoBackLog | https://www.nobacklog.com 🎬 Mediazilla | http://bit.ly/WFSmz 🎙Find us on your favorite platforms: Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6uIjhVH1GuxKxdJr3KGSTz Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wedding-film-school-show/id1460078925 #weddingvideography #weddingfilmmaking #weddingvideography

We're talking about the LUMIX S5II, our trip to Japan, and wether or not this new camera can unseat the R6 or A&IV as the full frame hybrid king AS WELL as live critiquing your wedding films The Wedding Film School team reviews wedding films submitted by this community, LIVE! 🚨Our Favorite Gear For Wedding Filmmakers | http://bit.ly/WFSKit 🚨 Free Wedding Song Playlist | http://share.mscbd.fm/wfsplaylist ️ Podcast Channel | https://bit.ly/TheWeddingFilmSchoolShow Mentorship | http://www.weddingfilm.school Companies We Recommend Musicbed (1 month free on annual) | https://geni.us/FahjKew NoBackLog | https://www.nobacklog.com Mediazilla | http://bit.ly/WFSmz Find us on your favorite platforms Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6uIjhVH1GuxKxdJr3KGSTz Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wedding-film-school-show/id1460078925 #weddingvideography #weddingfilmmaking #lumixs5ii

The new LUMIX S5II as a totally revamped autofocus system but how does it measure up with the current full-frame hybrid shooter kings, the Canon R6 sand the Sony A7IV? The answer... Really well. It may just be the BEST bang for your buck in the mirrorless camera market.

This Panasonic Lumix S5II review has been in the works for a while and we are so excited to share all about this brand new camera for wedding filmmakers! Buy the Panasonic Lumix S5II | https://geni.us/t7acY The Panasonic Lumix S5 mark ii is here and with it comes Lumix's brand new AF system! Enjoy our full review of this new mirrorless camera from Lumix. We had the amazing opportunity to fly out to Tokyo to partner up with Lumix and check out this camera pre release and we've been hands on since that point about 30 days ago. Wo, we've made sure to take this camera and put it through it's paces in Japan, in our studio, at a portrait session and even at a real wedding to see just what this full frame beast can do and if the new Phase Hybrid Autofocus really does but this camera up there with the likes of the Sony A7IV and the Canon R6. And great news to report, the lumix s5ii autofocus for video nailed it, and it is now competitive in the market with it's new phase af system making it a major player in the quest for the best camera for wedding videos. We loved getting to do a panasonic lumix s5 ii comprehensive review with the new lumix s5ii from Panasonic and think that this should be a camera that many people should consider upgrading to if you're already in the lumix system, but also a camera that should now be in the conversation of the sony a7siii vs lumix s5ii or the canon r6 vs lumix s5ii and actually enticing people to switch over. 0:00 Intro 2:12 Camera Specs Overview 4:57 Hands on with the Lumix S5II in Japan 7:25 Camera Feel and Build Quality 8:47 A7IV vs R6 vs S5II - Color 9:35 S5II Photo Style and LUT overview 10:50 Noise tests 11:14 Lumix S5 ii IBIS tests 12:07 Hybrid Phase Autofocus - Overview 14:35 Portraits Session 18:18 AF Test - A7IV vs R6 vs S5 vs Lumix S5 mark II 19:47 Price 20:38 Shooting a Real Wedding with the Lumix S5II 🎹 Free Wedding Song Playlist | http://share.mscbd.fm/wfsplaylist ▶️ Podcast Channel | https://bit.ly/TheWeddingFilmSchoolShow 👨🏼‍🏫 Mentorship | http://www.weddingfilm.school Companies We Recommend 🎵 Musicbed (1 month free on annual) | https://geni.us/FahjKew 💻 NoBackLog | https://www.nobacklog.com 🎬 Mediazilla | http://bit.ly/WFSmz 🎙Find us on your favorite platforms Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6uIjhVH1GuxKxdJr3KGSTz Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wedding-film-school-show/id1460078925 Musicbed Sync ID - MB011KT7SOXNUVM #weddingfilmmaking #lumixS5II #panasoniclumix

Artificial intelligence is the new hot thing and it's ALREADY affecting wedding filmmaking with the adobe podcast suit and the adobe enhance speech feature, it's pretty crazy! 🚨Our Favorite Gear For Wedding Filmmakers | http://bit.ly/WFSKit 🚨 Adobe podcast was initially introduced as adobe shasta and it's an amazing one click ai editor for your audio. While I assume it's designed for podcasts given the name, it can work wonders for wedding filmmaking and I'm excited to see what it does for our industry and how it impacts things moving forward. The adobe enhance speech feature works wonders on your wedding day audio to help you get the best audio for your wedding videos and it begs the question of what will we see in the future, and what are the limits to this technology? So, I wanted to put the adobe enhance speech tool to the test with a variety of real world examples from wedding films I've captured over the past year or two and see how it handled different problems. I did find some limits but overall was incredibly impressed with this ai audio editing tool. 0:00 Intro 0:30 Artificial Intelligence in our industry 1:23 Adobe Enhance Speech Tool 2:16 How To Use Adobe Podcast Enhance Speech 2:25 Real Wedding Examples 5:32 Conclusion 🎹 Free Wedding Song Playlist | http://share.mscbd.fm/wfsplaylist ▶️ Podcast Channel | https://bit.ly/TheWeddingFilmSchoolShow 👨🏼‍🏫 Mentorship | http://www.weddingfilm.school Companies We Recommend 🎵 Musicbed (1 month free on annual) | https://geni.us/FahjKew 💻 NoBackLog | https://www.nobacklog.com 🎬 Mediazilla | http://bit.ly/WFSmz 🎙Find us on your favorite platforms Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6uIjhVH1GuxKxdJr3KGSTz Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wedding-film-school-show/id1460078925 #adobepodcast #videoediting #weddingvideography

After over 30 weddings with the zhiyun weebill 3 we're here to give you a comprehensive wedding filmmaking review for this camera gimbal Buy The Weebill 3 Here | https://geni.us/f8T1LW 🚨Our Favorite Gear For Wedding Filmmakers | http://bit.ly/WFSKit 🚨 The Zhiyun Weebill 3 gimbal hit the market a while back and we got our hands on one early to give you a full zhiyun weebill 3 review but it's always tough to really put it to the test in just a short time. Since then we've gotten three of these gimbals and have now used them for an entire wedding filmmaking season. So, we thought it would only be right to circle back on our zhiyun weebill 3 review for wedding filmmakers and give you an update after a full season of well over 30 weddings videos. There are still a lot of things we like about this gimbal, but unfortunately, with a bit more time to use it, we've found some things about the weebill three that we don't like a whole lot. Additionally, there's some features that we found ourselves really not using. All in all we have some mixed feelings and experiences with the weebill three but we hope this updated weebill three review video will help you figure out if this is the best gimbal for wedding videos. 0:00 Intro 0:28 History of Zhiyun Gimbals 1:51 Zhiyun Weebill 3 Review 2:48 How is it to film with? 4:31 How has it worked at weddings? 6:48 How durable is this gimbal? 10:45 Conclusion 🎹 Free Wedding Song Playlist | http://share.mscbd.fm/wfsplaylist ▶️ Podcast Channel | https://bit.ly/TheWeddingFilmSchoolShow 👨🏼‍🏫 Mentorship | http://www.weddingfilm.school Companies We Recommend 🎵 Musicbed (1 month free on annual) | https://geni.us/FahjKew 💻 NoBackLog | https://www.nobacklog.com 🎬 Mediazilla | http://bit.ly/WFSmz 🎙Find us on your favorite platforms Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6uIjhVH1GuxKxdJr3KGSTz Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wedding-film-school-show/id1460078925 #weddingfilmmaking #weddingvideography #weddingvideography
