Of all the questions via email or twitter (FOLLOW US @feriacinematic) regarding our wedding cinematography work, this is by far the most frequent we receive:

What gear do you use???

Over time, through working on a range of projects, we have figured out an effective assortment of tools for us to capture what we need to make the movies that we want to make.

We will make a series of comprehensive posts in the near future about all the gear we use, with shoutouts to all of the manufacturers (Canon, RedRockMicro, Manfrotto, LowePro, etc.), but for now, here is a list of everything we used for our last wedding for Brianna and Seth:

Over the past year we’ve gone back and forth and tried different arrangements of support systems and lenses and other video gear. In upcoming posts we’ll show you some of the new techniques we’ve developed, some extra gear we decided to strip away to move faster (more gear doesn’t always equal better), and the upgrades we’ve made and whether that has helped or hurt us. And of course, the gadgets us dslr tech geeks couldn’t resist trying!

More videos to come!

And please, comment away on your fave gear or latest upgrades that you love! We learn a ton about effective products from our great network of video professionals.
