Quite an amazing experience. I know that the audio can be a little better, but other than that, I want to share this video with the RED community and see if there are any questions, comments, or criticisms. I am shooting another wedding Monday, so really opinions are worth saying. Still learning and its a fun process.

As you learn... get better audio! The words tell the story. Good pictures, they can get from stills.
 
Hey Michael, good job on pulling the RED out on a wedding. I'd like to try that too. I have a few questions:

- what kind of rig did you use to run around with the camera when it wasn't on a tripod?
- have you experienced any louder fan noise, say during the ceremony, or any other time?
- what lenses did you use, and did you find any particular lense to be the most useble?
- did you use any FF?
- is the audio, only from the Scarlet? - what mics?
- have you used wireless mic for the ceremony?


Thanks.
 
Thanks Patrik.

My friend had a slider that could be used as a shoulder rig. But we didn't have any follow focus or mattebox, it just made things lighter.

The fan is very very loud, and as you can hear, it was on a 100% the whole time because it was very hot outside.

Lenses I used are Canon L Lenses, the 50mm f/1.2 and the 24mm f/1.4.

We used audio from multiple H4n's.

I have used wireless mics before when i shot with DSLRs, and I have to say they work very nicely.

Cheers
 
try using a mix minus setting on ur field recorder(s).... think of it as HDrX for audio.... that way you can protect against too loud/soft sounds
 
I've been able to run mine in direct sunlight at only 40% fan without any problems. Just did that last weekend at an outdoor wedding. Before I did that though I have spent some time running the camera at only 40% fan for a good bit of time to make sure it wouldn't overheat or kick in full blast at the wrong time.

At first I was worried about the fan and the heat but now I find that isn't as big of a problem as the short battery life.
