What Wedding Videos taught me about Filmmaking - Insights with Victor Hughes
#filmmakingpodcast #weddingvideo #moviemaking
This week on the podcast I talk to filmmaker and podcaster Victor Hughes. Vic is a freelance filmmaker making his day to day income filming and editing wedding videos commercials and music videos. He also hosts the Psychocinematic podcast where he interviews filmmakers and talks about the process of filmmaking and storytelling.
He's recently shot his first short film "Desert Trip". I talked to Vic about what it's like shooting wedding videos, how that can potentially be a good way to earn money if you are just leaving university. Also how stressful it can be capturing the most important day of someone's life. We talked about shooting commercials, his short film and of course the podcast and some of the amazing guests he's had on. Enjoy!
