Videographers and the "swing around the couple 2 ft away" shot. Advice?
Well, as I said I did coordinate with them for most everything, and it was only when the couple decided to do something fun that a videographer would immediately run in front. I would be standing there ready for my shot, I knew where the videographers were so I thought I was okay and all I was waiting for was the couple to kiss/laugh/hug/celebrate/etc and before it would happen the guy would be in front of me.
For example, there was a German tradition of sawing wood together. Me and the videographers are all fine working together as they saw, and we are all waiting for the moment when the piece of wood is sawed off and when it happens--BAM!--there\'s the video guy blocking everything as the couple throws their hands in the air in victory. They could have gotten that whole thing if they had stayed alongside me instead of running in to do the swinging shot. What would you do/say if that happened to you? Like I said, I did talk to them about staying out of each other\'s way and that I would do my best to get my shot and get out...in this case I was the only one attempting to not ruin another\'s shots.
