The following is a sample wedding shoot set up. A successful wedding shoot can depend on many factors and requires massive amounts of footage. Stationary multi-camera shoots supported by a mobile camera (for close-ups) is essential. Critical shots should not be missed. Since each camera in a multi camera shoot will have a separate soundtrack it is relatively easy to mix and match the tracks for better quality. A small diagram that links to a larger one is at the bottom of this page as well as other footage that is usually a part of the production.

	One stationary camera  concentrates on the person conducting the ceremony capable of zooming in at critical times. (external microphone)
	One stationary camera (3CCD) concentrates on the groom diagonally from the brides side - capable of zooming in at critical times. (internal zoom microphone)
	One stationary camera (3CCD) concentrates on the bride diagonally from the grooms side - capable of zooming in at critical times. (internal zoom microphone)
	One mobile camera (main - 3CCD) concentrates on the wedding party and individuals in the audience when not directed at the ceremony. (external light mount)
	One stationary camera covers the entire wedding area from an overhead position capturing guests as they arrive and the processions.
	The above covers everything including: thwe exchange of vows and rings, readings and recitations, the kiss, wedding songs, and everything else that happens during the ceremony
	Other stationary cameras can be stationed to capture additional footage
