First Time Here?
Thanks for being here. I know your time is valuable, so I’ll keep it short. I own a company called 4LC Studios. I do video production (weddings, commercial, and anything else that grabs our attention). This youtube channel and everything I post is about the journey. I love sharing what I’m learning, how I’m growing, and how I’m failing. I hope you’ll follow my journey and be a part of the conversation.

    I just realized I sat here for an hour watching this. Overall ~ it was very entertaining and informative. I have no regrets

  2. QC Dads says

    What is a 7200 lens?

  3. John Seemon says

    I seldom watch an entire YouTube video this long! Worth every minute. Thank you so much for the additional effort that went into making a behind-the-scenes when you already had so much on your plate! You are a champ! Excellent work and wishing you the best in everything! Also, you got people skills!

    Do you shoot in log for the most part or not at all?

  11. icka says

    I'm currently studying and super want to make wedding videos like this already.

  12. icka says

    I love it.

  13. hans yana says

  14. Vince Ignacio says

    good behind the scene wedding videography…well except for the dress hanged in the tree with ropes beside it… for HORROR ? for HALLOWEEN? seems like a lady will hanged by that tree.. creepy actually

  15. 210772106 says

    I definitely inspire to be this guy when I start my business as a wedding videographer I think the key is to shadow someone that has plenty of experience and learn the ropes from them

  16. Jelle Otter says

    Why would you use ND filter ? Bumping shutter does the same right ?

  17. Tim Ashby says

    As someone getting taking the leap into wedding videography, this video is incredibly helpful. Thanks for making it. P.S What lights are you using for the speeches? I have a 120d but I'm not sure about suspending that bad boy so far up and it's also not bi-colour..

  18. Voxton says

    THANK YOU! This video was tremendously beneficial. I am currently in film school and intend on starting a commercial video production and wedding videography company when I graduate. Aces on sharing so much industry insight to jumpstart my career.

  19. Steamboat Production says

    be sure to use ND and Polarize Filters!

  20. René L. Morais Samdal says

    Niiiiice! What lav do you use?

  21. GrowthTV says

    Hey scott. Did you go to college for this profession? If so, what was the title of the major? Im interested in this career. Look forward to your response. Thank you!

  22. Mayank Tyagi says

    Damnnn awesome work

  23. Clemson Web Design says

    Hey Scott. I know this is 3 years old but its still very impressive. The gear prep, the coordination, communication and quality of work is top notch. I wish you were in my area so I could send you some business!

  24. Totte Lundgren says

    I've only watched 4 minutes so far, but this is super interesting!

  25. DJ Lachlan says

    Who needs a 3 year course in videography when you have this video. Absolutely epic.

  26. Trabalho com isso

  27. evildug b says

    the link to the wedding is in the (show more) section.

  28. Peppah says

    This was put together beautifully, super interesting video!

  29. Matthew Rosenblatt says

    One note: When you tap the XLR Output of a speaker, it causes a 3dB loss of signal on the line as a whole. That means the side you plug into will be 3dB quieter than the other side. It's just something to keep in mind!

  30. InVi_Carlos says

    I am going to do my first wedding soon. This was soo incredibly helpful. I took five pages of notes. I will consume these notes; digest them and embrace the on-the-run craziness. I love how you preach kindness no matter what. I agree with every way you handle yourself and interact with others. You are spreading great energy to all around you.

  31. Adrian Negreanu says

    that drone shot was absolute gold

  32. Tahmid Ahmed says

    Thank you for the awesome BTS Scott! Quick question, what type of attachment/mount did you use for mounting two torchleds on one light stand?

  33. Rickyy2Clean says

    What lens is he using

  34. Eduardo Nery says

    Nice and honest behind the scenes. I usually have the same concerns when I'm shooting any video/project and watching your video made me realize that I'm doing right!

  35. djshax shax says

  43. JLyell Photo/Vid says

    Awesome vid bro!!!! Thanks for giving the full bts, it truly gave great insight as to what is involved. Great job!

  44. gastypm says

    It’s the second time I watch this and I love it. I’ve been shooting weddings for 3 years and you can always learn from other filmmakers processes and workflows. I can relate in a lot of things and ,even though the wedding format is so different to what you see here in Argentina, there are so many similarities in terms of how a filmmaker works in this type of events. Great tutorial and I’ll keep sharing it to fellow wedding filmmakers!
