However, I found the constant zooming in this clip very distracting, more so during the speech at the beginning. I'm assuming this was a conscious decision but it left me wondering if you were having a problem with your camera.
Haha. No sir, I assure you, all problems are the fault of the pilot.
Good time to think about why I do what I do instead of taking it for granted.
The ceremony is the only point in the day in which I lock down and keep it consistent - everywhere else, I'm always taking opportunities to reframe (subtle promo) to get a better framed shot. Since I am heavy on voice over, when I shoot toasts, framing isn't my first priority.
the whip pans and snap zooms during dancing - i feel like a photographer, looking for the perfect fraction of a second since my cuts in the final edit are usually no longer than 2 seconds. so i'll stay with someone, get what I need, then move on, recording continuously.
i find that it communicates the frentic, energetic feel of the dancing better. but if i had a choice, i'd like to lock it down on legs and shoot it old Soul Train Line style, allowing dancers to move into my frame, show their moves, then move out.
