      only do this when youre starting. You dont have the equipment but you do have the passion and the skill. why let stuff like expensive gear stop you from producing great quality video? shoot with cheap, make money, save up, buy expensive equipment, charge more, save money, buy even more expensive equipment... oh and when your expensive equipment fails on you now you know how to build a backup lol

    This is encouraging. Your words touched me : “don’t make excuses...” I actually bought a cannon this yr, and could afford this light BUT I haven’t gotten into making films or vlogs etc bc of FEAR - but even then others who are in the hustle and don’t have the resources go at it without excuses. Very inspirational for me. Cheers.

    WOW. I mean, props for putting this video out. People need to see stuff like this so that they don't feel bad about their own hacks, because to me, this video is way more fun to watch than almost any of the other DIY lights on CZcams. I'm still doing something similar to this because I have my money tied in in things like buying food. It's the final result that counts!
