Heuristic /ˌhjʊ(ə)ˈrɪstɪk/ noun A heuristic technique, or a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving or self-discovery that employs a practical method that is not guaranteed to be optimal, perfect, or rational, but is nevertheless sufficient for reaching an immediate, short-term goal or approximation. This week I’m joined Bobby Burns from Wedding Film School and together we’ll be coming up with some useful heuristics for a wedding filmmakers toolkit. In the first half of the show we’ll identify some key pain points that wedding filmmakers face and then in the second half of the show, we develop our heuristics for those problems.

We sit down with the founder of Wedding Film School and in many ways on of the pioneers of wedding filmmaking education on YouTube to chat on everything from creating films next to a volcano to the ONE wedding Kraig would agree to shoot. Welcome back, Kraig... If only today!
We have all been there. That moment when you realized "Crap. I just blew it." In this episode we dig into 7 common mistakes Jason, Jared and Bobby made as new wedding creatives with the hopes that you can avoid their misfortune and pain. We also play a little game of Wedding Filmmaker "Would You Rather?" with Bobby. It's very high brow stuff.
In this episode I discuss and break down everything we bring to film an entire wedding day. From monopods to drones and everything in-between you'll hear why we select the equipment we've now been using for more than 2 years! Hopefully this episode will save you some time and money when searching for new and practical equipment to shoot weddings. I want to mention Kraig Adams* the Youtuber I got a lot of inspiration from when purchasing equipment from watching his behind the scenes during his time at Wedding Film School. (I forget his name at 21 minutes 30 seconds in) Check out his work!Below is all the equipment mentioned in our gear bag.

Wedding Film School is quickly evolving and we're excited to be a part of the transition.Make sure you're following Wedding Film School for our weekly podcast.Tuesdays at 9am ESTSUBSCRIBE HEREhttps://www.youtube.com/c/WeddingFilmSchool
Bobby is one of the true nice guys of the wedding filmmaking community, a great artist, accomplished educator but most of all... a NINJA. We break down all the faces of Bobby in this episode but really get into the challenge of taking a brand with the up and down history of Wedding Film School from 4 videos in a year a while back to alt's former glory as a staple of the wedding film community. Bobby is open and honest about not just building WFS back up, but his own journey on YouTube as an educator. Most listen for fans of WFS, those looking to get into YouTubing, and ninjas.
Wedding Film School. We all owe a lot to WFS for helping teach the Wedding Videographer's community so much with tutorials, behind the scenes, and gear reviews. Recently, Kraig Adams has handed off the baton to Scott McKenna. Scott has his own brand, and now is helping guide the Wedding Film School community as well. What are the plans for Wedding Film School moving into the future? What can we expect to see? Nick and John sit down with Scott to talk through all of the details. Not to mention, we chat about being present daily, staying in front of your customer, and how his life has changed since starting his own YouTube channel.

We have a treat for you this week. We sat down with Kraig Adams, founder of Wedding Film School. If you have followed Kraig for any amount of time, you know one thing, he plays by the beat of his own drum. He isn't following the rules when it comes to what most people think of when running their company. There is something oddly refreshing when chatting with Kraig. He doesn't care what you think. That may rub some people the wrong way, and it might inspire others. But the truth is, he has the stats to back up his way of thinking. Not only has he created 1 channel with over 100,000 followers (Wedding Film School, http://bit.ly/2zOsg0G), his personal YouTube channel (http://bit.ly/2z3Esel ) just passed 100K as well. We sit down to talk to Kraig about handing off the Wedding Film School brand to another wedding filmmaker, building his own channel, building his YouTube channel, strategy for using affiliate links, and what he is currently doing to make money. Overall, we talked about one thing, following your passion. He does just that, every day. We hope you enjoy this one, and it helps you to remember why you got into this business in the first place.

This week, we are taking a break from our normal series to bring you some breaking news! Many of you have likely lamented the loss of Kraig Adams’ “Wedding Film School” YouTube channel. We have likely all benefited from WFS’ 300+ video tutorials. In today’s show, we interview Kraig to talk about how he started WFS, why he is moving on and what is next as he leaves the wedding industry.
Find the original post at: podcast.studiosherpas.com As filmmakers, gear is an essential part of what we do, and while there’s no denying that fact, it’s important to remember that gear isn’t everything. Kraig Adams, a certified gear nut, joins us today and shares how he’s adopting a minimalist mentality when it comes to gear, and the benefits that the switch is having on his workflow. Kraig is a 25 year old, Brooklyn based filmmaker who, in addition to filming weddings himself, runs the website and Youtube channel Wedding Film School, where he offers tutorials, gear reviews, and teaches wedding filmmaking to others. Kraig shares how he quickly gained a high end client base, his current minimalist gear setup, and how he got arrested for flying his drone in the city!
