How to Make Wedding Videos Look Big and CINEMATIC

My SECRETS revealed to getting cinematic look and going BIG: I began my career in wedding videography as I loved to chase the cinematic craft. It gave me lots of great opportunities to experiment and make mistakes. At first I was just obsessed with capturing in HD. Later I realized that brides didn’t care about this and were more concerned about the way they looked and capturing their memories... ...I shifted focus and instead concentrated on how I could make their video look timeless like a movie instead of captured by their uncle or cousin with a camera. The capturing tools were certainly helpful and did give me an advantage but there was always this gap between what I was trying to create and the movies we know and love. Fortunately I stumbled into the answer being color grading... ...the final steps in the post production process that would yield the beautiful cinematic video I was after 🙌🏼 The results were stunning. More compliments, more referrals and more I could charge for, for this unique craft. Well I don’t know who you are or where you’re at on your journey but I do know that having the right knowledge and presets were a leg up. They allowed me to explore different moods and develop my taste for what looked good much quicker. I want to give you the advantage I didn’t have with looks that I’ve been creating over the course of my career (I even created the video filters for Instagram).
