- Hey guys my name is Matt Johnson.
And today I have a little update video for you.
I am filming this at the end of March
because the entire first half of April
I'm going to be in the glorious, beautiful
very cold country of Iceland filming a wedding.
And I did not wanna leave you high and dry
with no videos or hearing from me and being like
Matt left us, what's going on?
Well whenever I upload this, I am probably standing
on a glacier surrounded by not penguins, puffins,
and freezing my beard off.
So that is where I am right now.
But I'm making this video because I have
two very important updates that I wanted to share with you.
The first update is that I am going to be speaking
at my first conference, yes, finally!
I am so excited.
This conference is going to be free to attend or livestream.
So you really have no excuse for not attending.
There's this site, Love Stories TV.
Kind of like YouTube but for wedding films.
They've partnered me together with a little company
I'm sure you'd heard of called B&H
which is definitely like the film maker's Disney Land.
My goodness.
They have partnered together to create something called
the Depth of Field Conference,
a conference for wedding film makers and photographers
that they asked me to speak at, yes!
The conference is gonna be held
April 24th through 25th, 2018.
Yes, this month, in New York City.
If you want to attend, I'll have links
down in the description or you can set up two ten,
read more details, see about other speakers, etc.
All that linked down in description.
I am gonna be speaking about one of my favorite subjects,
how to keep your beard long and luscious on a wedding day.
JK, no I'm not gonna be talking about that.
What I am gonna be speaking about is all aspects
of audio recording on a wedding day.
So how I mic the groom, how I mic the officiant,
how I plug into the DJ soundboard,
and all of the audio gear, cables, recorders, mics,
etc., etc., etc. that I use to do that.
All of that will be covered plus much more.
Now unfortunately I have a bit of bad news though.
I do not think that B&H is gonna be live streaming my talk.
They are gonna be live streaming the talks on the main stage
but I don't think I'm gonna be speaking on the main stage.
So I don't think you're gonna be able
to watch me via live stream.
That said, I did talk to Love Stories TV
and they said that they were looking into
potentially setting up a live stream set-up of their own.
So if I find out about that, I will definitely let you know.
Worst case scenario, I will have Rachel sit in the front row
holding up an iPhone just filming it live stream,
boot-leg style like, here you guys go, this is me.
Whatever, we're gonna make it work.
Hopefully you'll be able to watch me live stream somehow.
If not, I'll try to get a recording
and upload to my YouTube channel later.
Something will happen.
Regardless, if you're in the New York City area
which according to my understanding of geography
is basically the entire east coast of the United States,
I would love if you could attend.
It would be so much fun to hang out.
And it's free, why not, it'll be awesome.
Alright, second thing to tell you about.
As I said at the time of uploading this video,
I'm currently in Iceland.
So while I may look warm and cozy in my house right now,
I am actually freezing up near the North Pole.
So I'm sure that I've been uploading
tons of pretty photos and videos
to my Instagram and Facebook pages.
If you wanna follow along, I will link to both of them
down in the description for you to check out.
Thank you so much for watching this quick update video.
I will return later this month and be back
to uploading much more often than I currently am.
Also, my give-away of the Zhiyun Crane 2 is still going on
for subscribers to my email newsletter.
So If you wanna sign up, I will have a link
down in the description for you to do so.
Thank you so much for watching and have a great day.
