    Camera equipment is a huge topic in the filmmaking world and I feel like many new filmmakers get too caught up in their gear and forget about the important aspects of creating videos. There is the overall wrong assumption that "an expensive camera will make your films better". I don't agree with this at all as I've been shooting on a fairly cheap camera (Sony A6500) for the last three years and was still able to compete with big production companies. Over the years I learned a lot about making the most out of the gear you already own and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the topic. The potential of your camera is so much higher than you think, so try to max it out before you buy a new one! I hope you enjoy the video!

    So true- I shoot on a Sony a6400 too and I love the concept that you mention about maxing out the equipment you have! Such an important idea, so many people are ready to buy their way up without learning the fundamentals

    • @JonathanAkosah
      @JonathanAkosah Před 3 lety

      I shoot sports w/the a6400, & I saw on your video title you said you're in Ny😆 I'm in queens, small world. Keep shooting. Keep. Learning. Keep trying. Never forget why you started. Shoot and create For You first and foremost. Have fun :)

  • @RareAmourCaptures
    @RareAmourCaptures Před 4 lety +5

    I have the a6500 and the a7iii. I must agree. I shoot mostly with the a6500 as its so portable and the cropped lenses are smaller and easier to carry (example 10-18 on a6500 vs 14-24sigma on a7iii). Makes it so much easier to travel. I am convinced to upgrade from the Mavic Air Original to the MA2. Such a big difference.

  • @danoc51
    @danoc51 Před 4 lety +1

    We've come to a point where there the quality differences attainable on a phone as compared to a Red have narrowed. Broader differences - where one should be putting more effort than camera money - are to found with sound, and lighting, not to mention the story and actors' performance. For tight-budget dramatic (fictional) films shot on a stage or in a house, one can get great lighting/visual effects by using color and diffusion gels on fairly inexpensive lighting devices (I've seen some really nice, soft lighting from large Japanese paper lanterns). Think about the depth of your shot (the space behind your talent), textures, furnishings and colors. Make sure your talent is wearing a good color of clothing for the topic and the background. Look at the work of good directors for tips on facial and hair lighting. As for sound, reasonably good mics can be had for under $300. Pay attention to the position of your mic...I use a boom pole mounted on a C-stand with a mic cradle...get it in as close to your talent as you can. Monitor the audio with headphones and get away from an ambient noise such as a refrigerator or air conditioning. Pay attention to your shot composition as well as the location and job of your practical lighting (lighting you'd expect to see in the environment, such as table lamps in a bedroom). What decorative objects should be removed from your set and what should be added. As for lighting, I usually start with the key light and then add the other lights. My taste has always run to somehow including colorful fabrics and artwork in backgrounds (pillows, furniture, clothing, table cloths). Much of what I've suggested here can be done without cost. The lighting, gels, audio equipment mentioned here can make the fact you are using a cheapo camera insignificant., and can be acquired for a few thousand USD.

How You thinking process looks like and so on. :) I would really appreciate that.

    I use an iPhone 13Pro and a DJI Osmo 3 gimbal. Not many settings to worry about. Just point and shoot. I've learned a lot from Niklas about storytelling and editing. And don't forget sound. You can have the best 4K video on CZcams but if your sound is terrible, you'll have low retention.

    Hey I have a question i am 15 yo and i am passionated by the filmmaking world. for now i have an olympus, this model is done for photography and it is like a camera for walking,it's waterproof and protected. I use the one of mt parents, i can't put lenses on it or plug a mic either. I can still shoot with a little 4k i think or 1080p and the camera can record up to 120fps.but i asked myself if i should change it because sometimes i would really want to use it with lense.... So my question is should i buy another camera or is it good for the moment and i'll just wait untill i grow up. One part of me want a better camera but idk if at my age i would have a 1000 € camera and my other part thinks i don't really need it for my films for the moment. Could you advise me ? And thank you so much your video does inspire me, continue !
