Coda Podcast - For Wedding FilmmakersShow Notes
In today’s episode I'm speaking to the newly crowned UK Wedding Videographer of the Year Chris Potter from Christopher James Wedding Films. Chris started his wedding filmmaker career shooting under a wedding photographers brand with incredible success. When circumstance meant that company had to disband Chris found himself in position where he had to rebrand and start afresh alone. In this chat we talk through his instagram strategy that allowed him to hit the ground running, his top tips for capturing wonderfully intimate couples portrait session and how he has moved away from template based feature films, manipulating film scores to create immersive emotion led stories.
