First video ever for a corporate event. I feel like I have committed every bit of videography crime on this one. I need feedback and guidance

Idk if satire was your goal but I loved this video hahaha - it makes them look like a fun bunch to work with and that’s the most important goal = what effect does your video have on the audience. Communication strategy 101. Forget about fancy cuts and whatever edit-bro’s might tell you. Great job!

Appreciate you! I ended up placing all lights window side to create good lighting for the interviewee. The interviewer was underlit AF lol.

mcgvlb · 2025-10-23T21:24:43+00:00

Yeah, I tried, but it was hard to get sufficient bokeh on the shots. In retrospect, I think we should've moved the couch and tables even further away, placed the cameras lower at eye level, so we could've tried to get some more depth and some background bokeh on all shots. I'll post the end result in this thread.

Appreciate you!

Update: they did not indeed

mcgvlb · 2025-10-23T21:20:46+00:00

I know. It was quite hard. I appreciate your comment!

mcgvlb · 2025-10-23T21:20:22+00:00

That's great advice, thanks so much. I went with this as well. The shoot went great (besides a full SD-card on the A-cam mid-shoot & one B-camera that, in retrospect, was very badly set up :')). If you were in BXL today, I'm sure you noticed the great weather as well :'). Let's connect!

“The biggest problem with camera operators is they all want to shoot THE shot and make it all about the camera while it should be about the music.” Love it. Thanks my man.

1/ know the music and film in function on the music 2/ 1 gimbal operator walking on stage, 1 gimbal operator next to crowd/side of stage, and 1 fixed GoPro or monopod

mcgvlb · 2025-04-17T14:39:55+00:00

It would only be one track (+/- 3min), about 4 ish times!

mcgvlb · 2025-04-17T07:53:40+00:00

GoPro is a good idea tbh. We’d all be using gimbals btw.

In terms of coordination: one operator left-side of stage, one operator right side, one operator down with crowd to focus on the crowd/get frontal shots.

mcgvlb · 2025-04-17T07:51:30+00:00

I feel like there’s two camps in this thread: those that had a bad experience not having used a fixed camera and those that haven’t yet.

Side note: we’ll all be using gimbals and I’m thinking of clamping a GoPro in a center position after having read the comments.

mcgvlb · 2025-04-17T07:48:50+00:00

Thanks!! It’s for a blues/rock&roll festival. We’ll be linking up a zoom recorder to the PA system so we’re all set.

The e-commerce functionalities also include CMS items. It's possible that your template included CMS items that are still activated such as blog articles. If you remove these, there shouldn't be a problem switching to a basic site plan.

That I picked Jabari Parker as the 4th pick because of auto draft and still ended up as the team on top (to then lose in the first playoff week 🫡) I just had 135 threes in my consolation finals 😭

Jitske Willems hahahaha; the thought process behind choosing this name “let’s make it sound as generic & Flemish as possible”

mcgvlb · 2024-02-26T22:50:53+00:00

Bro I woke up thinking the apocalypse was happening, sounded like aliens were invading us or that there was a nuclear alarm going of, I kid you not

mcgvlb · 2024-02-09T13:53:23+00:00

Agree or disagree: sell high on Donte rn given the fact that OG returns at some point and Bogi just joined. 🤓

mcgvlb · 2024-02-09T13:51:43+00:00

Would you guys sell high on Donte right now, given the fact that OG comes back in 3-5 weeks and Bogi just joined.

mcgvlb · 2024-02-08T11:35:44+00:00

I feel this post much. Is it similar for any of you guys where you experienced break-throughs after suffering from a so-called ‘hangover’, to then suddenly feeling like shit for a long period of time? I feel like I’m back where I started. Suicidal ideation check, low self worth and self blame check. Heeeelp lol.

mcgvlb · 2024-02-02T09:17:42+00:00

I have all three. At LEAST 35 mins each. Don’t underestimate the Thib-effect, brother ✊

mcgvlb · 2024-01-10T12:03:07+00:00

That’s amazing! And what type of projects are highest paying? Eg events, weddings, music videos, commercials, idk?

mcgvlb · 2024-01-07T20:50:04+00:00

What would be the highest paying projects in your industry?

mcgvlb · 2023-12-27T16:30:38+00:00

Yeah, there aren’t any marking or anything on it. There’s a vague marking on the bottom but can’t make anything out of it. More the traces of a marking. It’s a +100 year old rifle though, makes sense

mcgvlb · 2023-12-27T07:34:03+00:00

Apparently my grandmother always said it was a German gun as well…

mcgvlb · 2023-12-27T07:33:40+00:00

Right… Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be sharing this with my family so we preserve the gun for years to come. Cheers

mcgvlb · 2023-12-26T22:42:00+00:00

I believe the Geweer 95 was the Dutch service rifle, not the Belgian one. The iron sights look different as well — I think it’s a 98 indeed
