    #1 Gear: Most of us have cameras that are better than our skills. Most of us are not able to use the full potential of our cameras. As soon as I reach my camera's level I will upgrade my gear. The most difficult part in filmmaking is making films.

    these are spot on, I think the biggest one people need to realize is COLLABORATE - competition is good, but winning together is even better.

    Good stuff, I'd also say, for most people, the difference between a $1k camera and a $10k camera can be minimal if you understand lighting.
    And another thing that tends to get overlooked is audio. People will overlook average image quality if the audio is good. But give them poor audio and they wont watch your perfectly shot footage from your expensive red camera.

    Skill + Good Gear = Quality Results; Case in point: shooting in low ight with a cheap video camera will get you much more noise than a more expensive camera that features 14-15 stops of dynamic range.

    Depends on who you are asking. If it's an art-house director, story and creative direction matters most, gear can come second if not third or fourth. If it's the DP of a big budget studio film, gear matters. Some of my favorite movies were shot on bare minimum (Clerks, Tangerine) so to me it doesn't matter. Problem is is that people tend to get gear obsessed instead of focusing on the basics of story telling and film making.

    I rarely agree on literally everything in a video but man this is all so damn true! Especially the first point that gear does matter definitely resonates. I can honestly tell that the biggest jumps in quality and knowledge I made were when I committed on buying a mirrorless and later on a cinema camera. I once read an article that it is way more effective for you to grow into your gear than the other way around and I can wholeheartedly say that this has been 100% the case for me.
    Don't get me wrong, learning and understanding the equipment you got definitely makes all the difference but it's way more difficult to learn about something you've probably already outgrown than to learn about something that is "above" your skill-level lol

    I think many people say gear doesn't matter because they don't want to discourage people who don't have a big budget to get started. Alot of gear is expensive and starting out many wont have the network to borrow or or don't know about renting equipment. Great video 👌🏽.

    Very good points brother. I agree. Thanks for standing with me against the “gear doesn’t matter” myth. Although, I’ve seen people with more expensive gear that produce lower quality products, which means, like you said, it’s important to understand your gear. If you don’t, you could have the best gear in the world and still not produce quality content.

Yr so right about the cost and the tech coming so long way, its actually possible to start this busieness. Some years ago, i thought maybe Photography one day, but video seemed out of scope. Now the cost is reasonable, all the tutorials and practice for the last year etc. But hey, here we go.

    @BrianElliottFilm 3 роки тому

    Great thoughts for sure. I resonated the most with the first and last "lies"/tips. Gear definitely can make a difference in both usability and final image. I run with the GH5 on projects I have to be fast and nimble because getting the shot matters more at a lot of events than straight up image quality. Narrative and commercial projects I'm grabbing the FX9 because the raw image output and usability of the camera is suited to those jobs. If I was a bigger fish I'd be reaching for the Arri. And very true about charging. I'm working on a project now that I really low balled that has taken SOOO much time I'm probably making $2 an hour on it. I knew I should've billed more or walked on it, but I didn't, and now I'm paying the price. And definitely agree about collaborating. I've got a few go to guys that I call in when I need more people on set, and visa versa.
