steadicam at wedding

[jason0090]

Hi Just wondering has anyone seen a steadicam system used when filming a wedding?
Thinking of setting up as i have all the kit but not sure if there would be much call for it,
Results achieved with a steadicam are pretty amazing, would love to team up with a wedding dj etc as an add on package,
Any views greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Jay

Just had my sisters wedding, had steadicams, tracks and a jib arm lol.

Wow! Very impressive, but one thing I noticed - no-one was smiling? Is that normal?

I presume you were using Pulse par cans...

I saw one of these being used on Saturday night at a charity event (which was new - in previous years they've just taken still photos, but this time had a guy with a DSLR on a steadicam mount taking HD video and another bloke wandering around taking stills).

Obviously you get very different results compared to just using a tripod mount (lots more movement in all directions in the resulting footage!!)

Everyone was smiling except for the older generation and for everyone else not smiling it was a long day. Bengali weddings are typically a 3 day affair with other days inbetween so essentially, it's a manic two weeks and when you're sat down in front of almost a thouand people underneath blinding lights, and every guest has to feed you a bit of something or shake your hand it gets tiresome. But then it's old world traditions.

Impressive footage have to say,
I was thinking a little more low key (must have looked like a film set behind the scenes) I think the secret is not to detract from the acctual event,

Not far off the truth lol, but with asian stuff, about 900 wedding goers and thousands more who want the video so there's a strong emphasis on capturing everything perfectly.
