Comment on Is the emotional stress of being a wedding DJ hard to handle? by I DJ WEDDINGS

I DJ WEDDINGS — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:31:35 +0000

No. Being a wedding DJ is very simple money ($500 + for a night) and involves no emotion save for joy for the newlyweds and the personal satisfaction of a job well done.

Any with a concern such as your own should be MORE concerned with one’s OWN mental well-being.

Nope.
It’s simple money, and just one day’s work.
Most private DJ’s have other jobs as well.
"I DJ Weddings" I know owns a successful lawn care affair as well, and is currently working at his winter temp job, 2nd shift.

I’ll let him know of your concern when he gets home in a couple of hours.

I imagine it is if such a person apparently rarely gets hired and spends an unhealthy amount of time on Y!A.

Comment on I'm a videographer with $2,000 to spend on either a second DSLR, or a great new lens. What should I Do? by fhotoace

The professional videographers I know use video cameras to shoot video, not still cameras with a video feature.

That said, are you using these accessories to make your 7D more like a video camera?

And of course, you will still be using one sensor on the 7D while a video camera has 3-CCD’s, genlock, SMPTE time code and composite video.

I guess at this top, it is really up to you.

The only opinion I have, is asking you what lens you already have?

After you extra detail, I was going to suggest exactly what sagara did, and meet both ways in the middle.

Get a 550D, or any DSLR lesser than your 7D as a ‘back-up’ body, and you don’t have to get the SUPER lens, but anything with a f/2.8 or better would be perfect.

Question: Do you have the manpower to run two cameras plus sound?

if yes… you can go either direction, flip a coin so to speak.

if no… you might as well invest it in better glass. Low light depth of field shots panning over to the bride and groom are epiclly priceless. Plus if you are shooting weddings, you need quick lenses due to the low light.

Alternatively… but a cheaper 550D, and a quick lens like the 50 f/1.4 or ideally 24-70 f/2.8L (place the 24-70 f/2.8L on the 7d and your kit lens on the 550D T2i as a backup camera.

Comment on What shotgun/mic would capture deep BASS from dj speakers, like those in wedding receptions? by lare

lare — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 09:38:32 +0000

a shotgun mic is absolutely the worst choice for deep bass. the shotgun is effective only at voice and higher frequencies. it has no directional boost for bass, so that makes the low frequencies sound weaker by comparison. same can be said for vocal mics, they usually have an increased response at higher frequencies to add clarity to the voice. a general purpose omni mic would work best. i prefer dynamic types for field recording so i don’t have to worry about batteries, but an electret would work also.

Comment on If you had the choice of a good band or a reputable DJ for your wedding, which would you choose, and why? by MelB

I would personally choose the band. It adds some element of excitement to the room to have real musicians performing for you. DJ’s are excellent too, but I like weddings with live music.

well…if money is not the come forth…I would go for BOTH….
My wedding started off with the DJ, where everyone danced and loved the fantastic diversity of music…then came a live singer (for about an hour) where he made my husband sing for me (that was really cooool and funnyyyyy) it’s one of the most memorable moments of our wedding…and then after he left we finished off the party with the DJ again…

There is NOTHING like live music.

If you can find a band that plays a diversity of music, has more than one singer, & can get your guests up on their feet, or at the very least be entertained, you have a winner.

I would go with a DJ because you can listen to a diversity of music and not just one band, and you don’t have to worry about the sing terrible lol or other people not liking them or how they sing. that’s my opinion.
hope that was a excellent answer! congratulations on your marriage!

well I reckon a DJ because he can have a huge diversity of music and what if the band only knows a certain kind of music and can’t play a touch someone want to hear you have a better chance with a DJ that is just my opinion. Excellent Luck on finding a excellent answer.

DJ without a doubt. I really have no interest in having a band. The DJ, I reckon, has more options for you. If you’ve loved a DJ in the past, you should contact them for more info.

If you had such a fantastic time at that wedding, question them who the DJ was, and then book him!!
There are a couple of really well loved DJ’s in our area that are very much in demand………..they really make it a party! And, you can also have some kind of music during cocktails, dinner, and during his breaks, he can pre-load the music. With a live band, they’re gone for 20-30 minutes…….and all you get is silent!

yaxman1964 — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:09:58 +0000

Certainly a band. A excellent live band beats the heck out of any type of DJ always. You can compare the feel of the band and you know that it is music being made then and there. As compared to a DJ who is basically just spinning other "Bands" music. Heck if you end up going for a DJ, you might as well just get a friend with a couple of CD players to do it for you and save the money. Plus you only usually get married once, so make it a touch to remember. GET THE BAND.

I always envisioned having a excellent DJ at my wedding…it just seems more fun that way because you get to pick from a huge diversity of music, and you can personalize what songs are played for different things like first dance, etc.

I would prefer the live music. Having a DJ often makes it seem more like a prom, return, or karakoe night, especially if s/he is obnoxious and in-your-face.
Two of my very excellent friends had a live band at their wedding this past summer. They played mostly swing-type music, which was AWESOME. It was fantastic.

i would say DJ for the fact that you can listen to the artist not someone that may sing well but belongs in a karaoke bar also most DJ do such a excellent job at getting the crowd to have fun vs a wedding singer that might be temperamental watch the wedding singer an tell me if u want someone like him at the wedding

I really know quite a few people who dj weddings where I work. They say for the most part it’s a pretty fun job, and they make excellent money. I reckon it would be an awesome job for anyone who likes music, although if your at a wedding, sometimes you might not be able to play everything you want to because the bride and groom will doubtless have a playlist.

Hi… Weddings are highly specialized events and even if you have plenty of camera experience, you need to become educated about weddings and videography. FYI, most experts warn brides-to-be not to hire a videographer who is inexperienced with weddings.

For the best, most up-to-date information and education, you need to visit WEVA (Wedding & Event Videographers Association International). You’ll be able to get top-notch information/education on wedding videographry from the people’s top experts, which should be a huge help to you. Excellent luck!

It depends on how cool of a DJ you’re looking for. I personally don’t want any of the cheesy crap played at my reception, so I found a young guy who’s into the same music I am. But he’s also $200 an hour. You can usually find someone to do it for $125 an hour, but you get what you pay for. Excellent luck!

DJs can run about 800 but they are always sooo cheesy. Save your guests the pain and go buy an Ipod and hook it up to the sound system. Skip the cheesy music and you’ll have a nifty gadget to keep afterwards.
