      Hi Rob...
      I prefer a positive educational curriculum...
      You were talking about Click Bait...
      Remember the Sun in Liverpool...
      The phrase...
      "Do as they do, not as they say"
      I've been reading the comments...
      and did a little research...
      One group say...
      "Use your phone"
      All phones are not the same...
      Seems they have iPhones... Cost?
      .. as Android has an inherent problem to at least 3 years ago... continually automatically refocusing every few seconds.. it zoom bounces.. on all the apps I have tried..
      and in reality isn't actually a good video camera...
      The commercial filmmakers that make a big thing of using mobile phones to shoot their film were actually made with specific phone cameras that were expensive and have high-end specifications with specific software...
      Another group say use whatever...
      When they never actually have...
      or if did ..rejected the results...
      Would THEY wear whatever to an interview?
      The most important interview?
      How many competitors give good advice?
      They'd rather inflict "set up to fail" ...
      Which goes into the realms of narcissistic sociopath and psychopathic behaviour...
      How much processing was actually done post production to the video picture..?
      Nolan said he didn't use the audio from the camera...
      So...
      This IS the actual advice...
      Buy a cheap camera and use expensive audio equipment... then use expensive editing software on a seriously expensive computer...
      In actual response to the video...
      Some stopped watching because of the bad video quality...
      Some noticed problems but kept watching because...
      They had seen Nolan's content before..?
      OR
      Wanted to know about the populist content.. click bait..?
      What does that say?
      A new CZcamsr has one chance...
      ONE CHANCE...

    Love that you mentioned audio and lighting there at the end. So many people don’t prioritize those, and I feel like that will boost their production value more than upgrading to a multi-thousand dollar camera setup will. My first equipment purchases were adjustable lights, and then a very high quality Rode Mic. New camera will be next, but I feel like the audio should come first because no one will listen to what I have to say if the audio quality is junk. Great video!

The colors are off and the footage looks a little jittery. But I wouldn’t have thought much of it because the audio sounded good, the lighting was strong and, most importantly… the content was great!

    "There are no more excuses" you say as you use at least $3000 in lighting and audio gear to make up for the fact that the camera was God awful. I get the sentiment and i agree, a cheap gopro or phone can do the trick but i dont feel this was a good example.

    No excuses, the lighting and audio are more important than the video quality. I watched at quarter screen size and could not tell it was out of focus (maybe full screen I would). I did notice no bokeh soft background. People watching content may not care. Content is actually the king! (and good audio/lighting).

    I think the highlight here is that while it's useable, it required some extra work just to make it look decent. The lighting had to be on point, and he had to stand further back and use an external mic. All of that costs money, too, versus spending more on a camera that doesn't require so many other things to be flawless in order to look good!

    I’m not sure people really understand what the sentence “gear doesn’t matter” means…
    Also. There’s a lot more going on here than just the 4K camera. 4K doesn’t mean better quality, it’s just higher definition. That’s why you can get 4K smartphones, it doesn’t just depend on the sensor.
    I could go into a lot on this and I don’t want to come off as a hater, great video seriously.
