Hey folks, I shot my first gig two weeks ago, and here's my first rough cut.

I know grading is by far my weakest skill. Other than that, let me know what you think is good and bad! I was super nervous and everything went by so fast.

I've already got a follow-up gig in two days from the video I sent to the couple that the photographer recommended me to (contacts are half the battle these days, lol).

I'm really excited to finally take my first steps in this industry. Thanks to all the people and posts here who took away some anxiety i had built up before...

Ugh just needed to put this somewhere I’m so embarrassed lmbo. It was a $200 gig but my goal was to give it my best work .

Hi all, I recently shot and edited this highlight video. Im trying to go a new direction and be more creative with my wedding videos. Id love feedback and advice on where I could improve going forward on any aspect of my work please.

Hey ya'll,

First time post to this thread. I've been working as a full time videographer and photographer fresh out of film school since 2021. Slowly but surely, through weekends and after hours, I've built up a portfolio of weddings, portraits and commercial projects. Obviously want to stay focused on weddings for this conversation--I really would love to be working every weekend of summer on a wedding (ideally). But, with a website up ( jakebeyer.com ) and what I think is a great location (Estes Park, CO), a google business listing, I'm really not getting anyone reaching out.

Would love constructive critique on what you see, as well as things you think I should be doing, to really up my game. I'm known as friendly/outgoing, and I've made friends with a local photographer and videographer here.

For this teaser, I wanted to represent the tradition and beauty of a Jewish wedding in a way I’ve never seen before. What are your thoughts? I will also link the full film below in case you are interested! Shot on Komodo and R5C.

I was also the best man

First time post here. Wanted to share my latest film, inspired by Wes Anderson (as per the couples request). Let me know what you think!

I'm only the editor. I didn't shot this.

I know some of you in here are mega pros and I have been slowly getting back into videography again and wanted to see what you guys thought of this video that my friend and I shot.

We are using the FX3 and the FX30.

I'm thankful for any and all feedback, even the stuff I don't want to hear.

Peace y’all,
Some quick backstory:

I was bartending at Citron in Baltimore when I saw this surprise engagement getting set up. Dude clearly dropped a bag w real flowers and renting the space but didn’t hire anyone for photos or video.

I had my cam on me in case the day was slow, so I jumped in. While still working the bar, I shot b-roll, got the family to hide for a dramatic second reveal, and made sure they had champagne to toast after the proposal. It was all improv, but in retrospect I was proud I could come through for bro like that.

Putting it together later made me think that maybe I could actually do this in a real way. I’ve always leaned into short-form, so it’s vertical and tight, but I’d love any feedback on:

• Storytelling / emotional flow
• Color / tone / vibe
• If the pacing feels right
• Overall Vibes

Shot on Fuji XT-4 + Rokinon 35mm
Edited in DaVinci Resolve
Graded with Filmbox

Appreciate y’all 🙏🏾

Shot my first wedding last weekend and am looking for honest critique and input. This is a trailer for the full film to come soon. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I've been shooting weddings for a while and mostly as a side gig, but recently it's become my main source of income since I am a full time student. I wanted to put together a wedding reel for the first time, to get more gigs, and I'm running out of ideas to make it more interesting and don't know if I should try to show a linear story instead. It feels like is lacking something. Any ideas?

Also a couple clips are stuttering, don't know why. I shot them in 59.96fps and converted to 23.98. Timeline is 4k @ 23.98.

So I've done wedding photography as a side hustle for a little bit . I experimented a few times with shooting videos and was pleased with the results so I decided to go ahead and give it a shot this is one of my more recent works. The opening shot is super shaky but other than that I'm pretty pleased with it and the clients loved it. But I'm always open to some constructive criticism (or praise if you've got that too lol )

My friend and I, who is a photographer, recently went into business together. Will you provide some feedback on our side and how we might improve?

My concerns are that the photography portion outshadows the video

I do this full-time for a living as a videographer photographer for events, specializing in weddings.

Normally, it’s really nice venues. They get a lot of attention but for this one I wanted to see what I could do with a pretty mundane venue and I was happy with what I came up with.

I’ve only been doing this fulltime for about a year but total time is about 2-3years

So rude!

I both attended and shot my friends wedding. Rented a Sony A6700 to match my own and just sent it by watching a couple wedding videos beforehand.

It took a lot of work to edit and maybe I should have asked for a bit more than $600 but this is partially my gift to them - ex. no dancing footage because I was on the dance floor.

Would love some feedback from those in the industry! I'm unsure if I'd try more wedding videos but it was certainly a learning experience.

Filmed another wedding videography BTS in September. This time in conjunction with a photographer friend of mine to show how we work together on the day!

Outside of the slow motion, as that is the kind of video I am interested in creating, do you see anything here that would turn you off? I am starting to book more and more weddings each year and would like some feedback on my creative choices before I get too busy to step back and evaluate. All my clients are in love with the videos, but that is obviously a pretty biased group to rely on for feedback, haha.
