Matt Johnson is a wedding videographer and educator with over 100K subscribers on YouTube, and owner of FilmStrong with his wife Rachel. We talk wedding shooting, learning the trade before and after the DSLR Revolution, and offers valuable insight into how to make the most of your wedding cinematography. Plenty of advice as well as a few crazy stories! In the first segment, I put it all out about a job that went wrong, and how we can learn from it.

In the podcast’s first in-person interview, boom operator extraordinaire Ken Strain talks about changes in the business, best practices for different mic types, working on shows like House, Lost, Silicon Valley, and I’m Dying Up Here; as well as the time he kind of rescued Jean Claude Van Damme from getting shot by Roger Moore while adrift at sea. We get real nerdy on this one… the terms “machine learning” and “off-axis rejection” got used. Buckle up, folks.
