#353 Edmonton Locals: Wedding Content Creators Unfiltered का पूरा ट्रांसक्रिप्ट

wedding industry and other things people are paying for. 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:34.560 But then I think as I started doing it and like, you know, just filming, I was like, wow, this is really cool. 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:40.879 I think because you get so many videos, you just get your entire wedding week on an iPhone. 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:42.960 So you can just flip through literally the next day. 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.479 So I think that's pretty cool. 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.919 And it's different from like traditional photo and video services. 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:48.639 I agree. 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.800 I think I think people have labeled it to be like you said, contentious. 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.719 Like a lot of people are like, oh, I would never do that. 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.599 It's if you don't want to do it, then you're not gonna book it, right? 00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.639 So it's like it's fine. 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:03.919 But a lot of brides that message us, they they're usually interested in wanting that content right away. 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:10.719 A lot of them want to post on their own Instagrams or they're have family who are in different countries who want to see our Instagram stories right away. 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:12.479 Um, so that's actually a pretty big one. 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:20.159 That way, then their family, I get a lot of followers from family like within the first day, and they're like, Yeah, we're from Australia, like we're we can't come, like we really want to watch this. 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.879 So I feel like it's really good for those those people. 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.560 So it's really exciting. 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.319 And then even from like uh the photographer lens, like, how do you find it different as a skill? 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.800 And also um, when you're in the space of like a shoot, a wedding shoot, how how do you like find yourself positioning yourself differently? 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.759 Because that's been a conversation I've heard is like, oh no, photographers are like, there's too many people behind the cameras, and what does that mean? 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.479 So, like, I guess I'm gonna know your thoughts on that. 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:54.159 I feel like being so I've done wedding photography, like actual proper week-long wedding photography as well. 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.120 And I find that like for me, I don't really get annoyed that much. 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.919 So I think for me, it's like everyone is here for a reason. 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:07.680 Everyone is doing their own work, and we're all we all have our gear and gadgets and things that we're we're doing. 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.759 So it I shouldn't be a big deal. 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:15.360 Um, but I find that sometimes when I am doing content creation, I'm like, oh, like I want to pose them this way. 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.360 But then I have

to obviously like I wait my turn and I wait till they're done, and then I'm like, okay, now it's my turn, and I'll go and pose them. 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.519 And then the photographer's like, oh, that's actually a good pose. 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:24.639 Boom, then they take the picture. 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:37.920 So I feel like it's like we all have our own ideas, but you just have to be very mindful of like when someone's shooting, when like a photographer is shooting when a especially videography, like, you need to be out of the videographer's way because they're around all angles, like 360 basically. 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.439 So yeah, what do you think? 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:46.240 Same honestly, like video, iPhone video, especially is completely different from like photography. 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.639 Photography is edited, it's so nice. 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:56.800 Um, and I always tell photographers and videographers, as soon as I like see them for the first time, like, please, like if I'm ever in your way, please let me know. 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.079 I'm gonna stand behind you. 00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.680 You can be in my way, I don't want to be in yours. 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.600 Yeah, we can always crop them out, like always. 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:08.160 Like half of our, we shot a wedding recently um where there was three of us, three three content creators, and we all were in each other's way. 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.639 Like half my videos, like I'm in, I'm in her shot, she's in my shot, we're like our hair's in somebody's shot. 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.160 But it's like we can easily edit that out. 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.399 But with videography, it's like you have to be very careful. 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.360 Yeah, exactly. 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.279 And like I do think there's like space for both. 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.240 And at the end of the day, we're hired by the couple, so you know, we're providing services for them. 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.879 So I think as long as everyone works together, it's like perfect. 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.759 Yeah, it's almost like you have to have a team effort everywhere. 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:42.319 But there is a little bit of like a I guess like a shock hierarchy, like the videographer will might get like the most access to the shot, and then there's like the photographer, and then the content creators, you kind of just step in to capture the moments. 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:42.879 Yeah. 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.800 And I find, and I find that's a good thing. 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:49.920 I know a lot of people want to capture the actual foot, like the photo shoe and stuff, which which is fine. 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.439 But I feel like the photographer, videographer, like they're really good at doing that. 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.480 And we are really good at that BTS where it's like a little hand detail or like them looking at each

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.200 Because as a wedding guest, sometimes I feel like I'm a bit detached. 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.799 I'm not like maybe seeing everything. 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.480 So sometimes I'm like, I'm sure. 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:16.399 I'm like, this is are we just going through his emotions?

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.799 Like you would say, like this this summer alone, I we dealt with how many families, 16, 17 families. 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.480 Each family is so different, and that's what creates the wedding. 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:47.360 Yeah, you're not some weddings are not people, they're not gonna cry at their dully because they don't have that relationship with their parents. 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.000 Some people are gonna sob because they're so close to their parents. 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.559 So it's like that is interesting to see and fun to see, right? 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.200 They're already moved out, they've already moved out and they're already married. 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.399 Yeah, whatever bye. 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:56.720 Yeah, yeah. 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.279 So I think that's that's the most unique part for me. 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.799 Yeah, yeah, truly is, yeah. 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:01.440 Okay. 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.039 So the wedding where you said, I don't want to do this anymore. 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:06.000 What do you like?

big industry, and like I think it's better to focus on yourself. 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.079 Yeah, and Pinterest has everything. 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:58.000 Yeah, like if I swear to God, if you go on there and you're like unique color themes for weddings, if they're if they're already on there, that means it's happened before. 00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.799 Yeah, right. 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.200 Okay, uh I just want to say this for my end. 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.119 I've been because I'm in the white wedding, like searching for things process. 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:06.319 Sometimes I'll find things. 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.599 I'm like, is this AI?
