The "BIG" Photography Secret
In photography and videography there seems to be a BIG secret that nobody wants to share. I'm starting to understand what that secret is and I wanna share it with the world. I've been filming my own videos as far back as 2003. Just recently I started to take my knack for the lens to a new level by filming video's for other artist. Then I stepped it up another notch by purchasing a DSLR. Not only do they shoot video's but they also do what they were meant to do, capture photographs. So now I've added photography to the list of services I provide for my clients. And that's when I noticed the "BIG" secret. As you start to progress in any type of business, you have question. Wether you wanna know what software you should purchase to manage your money, or what type of lens is best for a midnight shoot, there is always a question. Well I hate to tell you, but if you start asking other people that are trying to be successful in the same business as you, your going to run into the "BIG" secret. People will NOT try to help you out. They will NOT answer any question that seem to be too technical. They will NOT tell you how they achieved certain cool effects. Some of them will NOT even reply to emails, tweets, or any other sort of social media communication you try to impose on them. This my friends is the "BIG" secret. They are like little bears hovering over their only source of honey and they DON'T want to share it with you! (Na Na Na Naaa Naaa!) So far all you newbies out there that have a million and one questions I'll give you a guide to getting started in this business and progressing. Since nobody will share info with you, you have to go out and get it yourself. It takes a lot of hard work, but if you really wanna find out how to do things, you can. Here are some tips to getting into the industry, and then becoming successful at it. (And don't tell anyone you heard the "BIG" secret from me) Lynda.com – This is one of the biggest learning websites you can join. It's not free, $25 a month. But in return you have access to thousands of video tutorials by some of the best instructors in the game. You can learn a whole lot from this site. I learned Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Final Cut just to name a few programs. For Dummies Books – That's right! Those yellow books that occupy almost all of the shelves at Barnes and Nobles can teach you everything! Now in days money is tight, people don't have money to pay for a producer, a videographer or a photographer. They would rather just teach themselves and save money. That's the beauty of these books. A true entrepreneur has a library full of these instructional books. Youtube.com – If you can't afford Lynda.com or just wanna learn how to do one or two effects in your final cut software then look it up on youtube. A lot of companies post instructional videos on youtube to promote their website. They are hoping that you go to their site and buy whatever is is they are selling. Some of them are selling tutorial videos that can help you even more. Barnes and Noble – This is a store you should spend a lot of time in. If you can't afford to buy books then you can always go to the library. But real business people are gonna wanna purchase all types of books and add them to their collection for future reference. Barnes and Noble has the widest variety of books you can find. Everything from technical books, to art, to creative books that will spark your ingenious intuition. Videocopilot.net – Click on the tutorial section. This website shows you how to do all those cool openings in After Effects. It also shows you a lot of the hollywood style effects found in major motion pictures. Well, I hope you enjoyed this quick start guide to gaining knowledge in whatever field you choose to enter. If you have any questions that you want me to answer you can always reach me at Jsantiago77@verizon.net – Unfortunately, I do NOT use the "BIG" secret. I will tell you anything you want to know.

Behind the Lens with Jandalis Sancivieri"
Friday I had the pleasure of shooting Jandalis Sancivieri. She's a very cool person and extremely easy to work with. I decided to use the same location I used for a prior video shoot. It's tucked under the new Victory Bridge in Perth Amboy, NJ. I really like this location because of the Staten Island skyline that you can see from across the Raritan Bay. The brown cement pillars are also helpful when your looking for that textured wall shot. I also used a fence that seems to come to an end right on the waters edge (Don't ask me the purpose of the fence, I have no clue) There is also some brown ferns that rise up behind the pillars. We were actually about 20 feet from them but the zoom lens gave the impression that Jandalis was standing in them. She wasn't. Overall This is a great location if you don't wanna be pestered by nosey locals. There were a few drive by creeps but nothing compared to shooting in a high traffic area. I hope you enjoy the pics!

How to make a 3 Minute Wedding Video
Any videographer that has dealt with a wedding can tell you that editing wedding footage is no easy task. Especially since most wedding videographers have to capture the footage themselves (This includes me). There is a million and one things that can go wrong on the wedding day so preparation is truly the key. In this blog I'll tell you the essential shots you need, the equipment you should have, and what to include in your 3 minute wedding reel. The entire wedding video is really long so it's important to have a highlight reel so that your clients can have something to post on youtube and facebook while they wait for their finished product. Preparation is the key, so here are a few pointers when prepping for the shoot.Test your camera out the night before (You'll be surprised at how many times this saved me)Make sure you have sufficient light (Your camera should have some sort of light)Bring extra batteries (Weddings are long and you will go through a few batteries)Bring a charger (If you don't have 5 or 6 batteries a charger will help you out)Bring your laptop (Just in case you run out of memory on your flash card and have to dump footage)Make a list (You won't remember all the shots you wanna get so bring a reminder list)Bring your tripod (There are a lot of shots that you can use the tripod for)Hire an assistant (If possible try and hire a helper, they will come in handy, trust me)Don't drink ( I know this sounds silly but open bars are tempting. Just say no)Those are some of the essential things your gonna wanna remember for your video shoot. Now when it comes to actually getting footage, the rule of thumb is get as much as possible! You can always edit out material to make a video more interesting but you can't add footage that you don't have. So keep them cameras rolling as much as possible. Here is another short list of things you definitely should film during a wedding.The bride getting ready (Dress, shoes, makeup, friends in room, parents)The walk to the limo (Both for the bride and groom)The groom getting ready with his friends beforehandThe bride walking into the church (The groom standing at the alter)Everyone walking down the isle and the entire ceremonyCocktail Hour (Get the food, waiters, ice sculptures, etc…)The reception (Everyone entering, dancing, speeches)Dances (You should get all the main dances in the beginning of the ceremony)Cutting of the cake, throwing of the bouquet, and any other traditions.Desert hour and people being interviewed about the coupleThis is a pretty general list and as you can imagine there is a million things in between that your going to want to capture. As long as you remember the number one rule you should be ok. Get as much footage as possible! Finally here is a little checklist of things to remember to include in your 3 minute video.Add an intro (The couples name, date, and maybe even the location)Include your business name (This is the best form of free promotion)Pick a good song (There are tons of wedding songs, make sure to pick something trendy)Capture emotion (Make sure the clips your choose are the most powerful clips you shot)Slow motion (Slowing things down to 70 or 80 percent always adds a nice touch)Smooth transitions (This isn't a music video, so try to choose subtle transitions, cross fades are perfect)Funny stuff (It's always good to throw 1 or 2 humorous clips in there for good measure)So there you have it folks. A crash course in Wedding Videography. Hope this guide get's you started in the right direction!Deliastudios.com
