It’s about the person and their knowledge/skill more than the gear they’re using. I watch so many iPhone vs red camera videos and inexperience loses every time
100% experience is everything! If you don’t know what you’re doing you cant do it haha
Gear matters but experience matters most. Great video man!
Thank you papa
Great perspective. Knowledge and creativity is key to bringing the best out of your gear.
Absolutely!
Filmmaking is about expressing story. Pre production before even touching a camera.
Definitely! The camera is the least important part 🥹
My first camera was a canon 5dmark3 and that was a 3000 dollar investment.. I wish I could’ve got a cinema camera for that price beginner or not. I’m happy for people that are just now getting into video work and they can get a cinema camera for what I paid for a dslr .. it’s a great time to become a film maker.
Yeah theres so many affordable options right now as a filmmaker growing! So many cheap options
The 5D3 was a STAPLE
I started out on Super 8 and later Mini Dv in the late 90’s. Everything that is coming out now is so FAR superior than what was out back then. You had to be a true craftsman to get nice images (proper exposure, shallow DOF, and so on) while now so many just point and shoot their through a production. I personally love buying older used cameras because they are soo much cheaper than new and they are still way better than what I started with.
Honestly! The cheaper ones are getting super good, and its better to have one cheaper and learn through that imo
So any advise
To be fair am all for going fully in even if you know zero!
its a great way of saying you believing in yourself and starting with the best possible equipment providing you can AFFORD it
if i had the money and wanted to START heck i would go straight for the V RAPTOR LOL
I mean yeah if you have the disposable money for it haha but at that point you might as well invest in other gear like lighting haha
Like if you’ve got 30k to blow on your first camera go for it! I got a ex-NFL player friend who got a Gemini as his 🙃
The PAINTER paints the picture, not the brush! I used a iPhone 6s when I started out then upgraded as I went along. Then jumped to a Lumix G7 + Canon 80D.
Yes! I started with an old Canon Powershot haha the point and shoots 🥹
I shoot videos with my iPhone & other cheap cameras and they look amazing compared to people who have nice gear & no experience or creativity.
For sure all comes down to experience!
The point of affordable cameras is so people CAN learn? It sounds like you might be a little bitter because you bought a very expensive camera and the new stuff is shinning? Justifying maybe? What we don't need is super high end cameras anymore.
That depends on your definition of cinema camera. As you saw in the video I’m speaking on used DSMC2 cameras etc. in now way am I salty about people having new stuff and it shining. This speaks more on the idea that having the most expensive gear is better, because they found a nice used piece of gear for cheap and its top line cinema camera.
If you’re looking at BMPCC thats not what I’m talking about. Thats definitely a camera to learn and grow on, not a 10k cinema camera.
@@Minhute STOP BUYING AFFORDABLE CINEMA CAMERAS. How does this title tie in to what you're saying? It's a contradiction? Did you mean, BUY affordable cameras?
Did you watch the context of the video?
Either way, I’m not here to argue. My channel is all about helping creators learn, I’m sorry that the videos message came off the wrong way to ya
@@Minhute Wasn't busting chops. I just thought it was confusing to the title? I did watch. That's why I commented the way I did. All good. Not being shitty. Take care.
Thank u
Of course
More people are more skilled shooters today, than ever before in history. I think youtube, sharing info, and acces to better gear has contributed to this. Its okey for people to buy a Red and figuring it out as they go along. Plus 240 fps catvideos are awesome 😅🤣🤣
Not the cat videos!!! (But thats me and my cat LOL)
@@Minhute liked your video, and you are making some valid points. At film academy, we first started at the cheap video cams also. But okey S16 film stock is just so expensive, so thats also a point ..
I think starting without the bells and whistles is really important! Now a days people are SO spoiled in features with mirrorless cameras. When they jump to the higher cameras they don’t know whats what. “Whats ProRes vs RAW?” “How do I color RAW video?”
I'm all for buying expensive gear but if you have no experience then the expensive gear will be shitty. Why I always tell people buy the basic camera to learn the basic
Exactlyy
I don't think the title and topics discussed match. If this were a video about how cheaper cameras oversell their abilities/reliability and there was some compare and contrast with facts then okay. But this was really a convo about does gear matter and talent/skill set over buying up gear to make you think you're going to get better. To speak to the title and some things you said, it really comes from a place of access to be like "RED is affordable". To most people that want to enter the expensive realm of filmmaking, no, RED is not affordable. A 5K price tag for a box that does nothing but turn on when you get it, won't do anything for you. However, if you spend 8K for a Komodo package, then that's different. But with that money you can get something "cheaper" and build up in skill. For instance, Morgan Cooper had DSLRs, then moved into the Blackmagic space, then got a RED Scarlet W, and now he's co-creator for Bel Air - A FRIGGIN' TV SHOW!!! Same thing can be said for the SuperTramp, FilmRiot, and Peter McKinnon Gang. What's prevalent? That they got the gear they could afford and mastered it so much that it got them top work in the realm of that gear. Then, upgraded to not just "get more work" but get a different type of work in a different realm. I'm doing the same thing. I have a Pocket 6K x 2 and 1 Pocket 4K and I'm stacking the bread as it pays for my college, it's allowing me to make a bomb-ass reel by the time I graduate, and giving me savings toward an ARRI or RED (still debating but leaning toward Arri). As a writer, being able to own gear constantly gives me the ability to give myself the greenlight and bring my creations to life with my team (i didn't have a choice but to buy a camera because MF's here in Baltimore be trying to scam you fr fr). Overall, I felt so irritated by this video because people get what they can afford and then have to deal with elitist folks saying "your camera isn't going to get you far" or asking what they shot on before humbling themselves to admit what they just witnessed was good. They default to immediately determining if your STORY is good based on what GEAR you shot on and that's dismissive and disrespectful af. "The best camera and gear to have right now, is the gear you have right now to create and move forward" - I can't remember who said that but the best statement to folks wanting to be filmmakers but can't get the REDs and Arris of the world right now. Don't tell people not to "stop buying affordable cinema cameras" (even "affordable" changes as price of entry varies) isn't saying much of anything. It comes off as some elitist "do better" talk that's very disconnected. Great shots in the video. They look really cool.
Edit note: And to folks that can afford a higher end camera, know your crap. Tired of rich kids (mainly venting about some of my classmates) buying REDs, Sony FX9's, or older Arri Alexa Minis or Alexas and saying crap like "I can't edit these RAW files", "My EF lenses don't work on this PL mount", and my favorite so far "my computer won't read the files, what's wrong with the camera?" Hella people getting these cameras to start the job and not even thinking about the power you need to finish it. Jesus...
I get exactly what you're saying and it's not me trying to say don't get an affordable camera, it's gear towards people who don't know what they're doing but just buy it for the name. There are cameras out there who are a better fit for specific people. I'm in multiple "RED KOMODO" Facebok groups, and the types of posts you see out of them are insane. People won't know what charger to buy for their battery, and they won't know that you can even use a charger to charge the battery, they think you have to plug it in.
So trust me, I'm not trying to speak and say I'm better than any one, and a camera is just a tool. But people are here dropping like you said 8K on a Komodo rig and not knowing how to use it. And yes its based on your own story, but personally I think that someone should do their research on any purchase they make especially if its 5K- 8K. While 5K isn't affordable as some other cameras which I understand, I'm speaking in the terms of in comparison to what they were before. Before the Komodo became a thing, the cheapest RED camera was $19,995. We're getting a fraction of the price, and the Komodo is actually build to work straight out of purchase with a lens and a battery, you don't need to rig it at all.
I do understand your points and I agree, but I want to elaborate on what I was intending to say, and I feel you I live in MoCo, so I own everything too. Makes it more comfortable for me. But your edit note is what I wanted to address in this video, pretty much.
Good light matters.
100% most important thing ever
Loool I love this
Tytyyy loool
I think with the rise of social media/ people comparing their lives to others all the time, people are too concerned how other people spend THEIR money. Whether it's a car, home, equipment, supplies, hobbies, etc etc etc, everyone seems to have an opinion on how someone else should spend their money. At the end of the day, it makes no difference to your existence. You can have your own opinion, but this toxic community is trash as hell
I definitely think people can spend their money how they want! It definitely doesn’t affect me much but at the same time especially when starting theres a lot more to invest in that helps like lighting etc. and when starting off I definitely feel like its better to get good lighting than an expensive camera.
Who cares, it's their money. If they feel a super high end camera might motivate them, let them buy and use it.
A Red camera is affordable? I must have a different understanding of the word ‘affordable’.
Today you can get one for as low as $2,000 for the Raven, $4000 for the Scarlet and $8,000 for an Epic : ) a lot more affordable than their original of $20,000. Huge depreciation. You can also get a Komodo for $6,000.
Lol facts
A growin problem haha
I guarantee he is going to sell that shit next month, that always happens with these type of people, once they see this shit ain’t all fun and games and you actually gotta know what the hell you doing.
100% haha to be honest they’re too affordable man! Sub 10k RED cameras everywhere
Yes gear and skills matter depending on the job. If you get hired to shoot a high end commercial and you show up with a mirrorless camera with a gimbal they will laugh at you. Get a proper cinema camera and learn how to pull focus. Stop relying on ibis, autofocus and a gimbal to do all the work.
For sure! If its a high paying gig definitely, but when it comes to that you can always rent. It really depends what you’re getting as far as gigs and frequency go
The way guys talk in the comments i know they don’t know what they doing and they just just gear hype dudes, sort of like these so called filmmakers who look for a camera with Auto Focus but cant master manual for nothing. Lmfaoooooo
IMMA BUY THE FX3 !!!
Is the FX3 REALLY a cinema camera tho 👀
@@Minhute shieett, is water wet?
It is but i dont think the FX3 is a cinema camera 😔😔😔 awesome video camera but cinema MAYBE maybe not
@@Minhute I don't have a RED so I can't even argue 🤣🤣
LMAOOO hey man its okay RED cameras are for babies hit me with the phantom flex 😔😔😔😔😔
Am from EastAfrica am having trouble on getting gear
I think that everyones situations a little different so I can’t speak specifically on yours but starting off cheap and making a name for yourself is always best while you learn!
Thank u much
I think it’s much more expensive in 3rd world countries
But incase of any sponsorship basically light will be glad my brother
Definitely harder in a 3rd world country I’m sure theres not much advice I can really give since I’m not in the situation myself so its hard for me to really say much other than the basic save and start slow
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😔😔😔😔
Yeah this video was a waste of time. Nice try though.
