Great tips! And you're totally right - it doesn't matter what gear you have. What matters is the idea and this thing you want to share with people who watch your videos.
i would say 25% gear, 75% skill, because gear does matter somewhat, a 320p or 720p camera won’t cut it. plus having a big camera rig as a 16 year old has gotten me many clients.
The greatest takeaway from this video: "Make stuff you like" Everyone is chasing views and clicks. I make stuff I want to see and I could not care less if anyone else likes it. I am also not arrogant enough to think I have the market cornered on what I like and there will be someone somewhere that will get what I produce and enjoy it. That's who I care about, not those critics that don't like what I do.
Pretty much. I used to care but then lost myself and my own art style in the process. So am starting over with zero f’s given about engagement. At least I’m happy with what I’m making
Feels like this is getting back to OG FTF. Gear doesn’t matter, principles of filmmaking and practice do. Landon could not have pulled this off if he just watched some videos here and there on how to do it. He has put in the hours, and it shows. For him it doesn’t matter what the camera is because his SKILLS are there. That’s what FTF does for you! If you don’t have it already go get it today, why not now?
Wow, this video was made for me, I've done so many course and learned so much in the past 6 years but I never started filmmaking, cause of the gerar I have I think it's never good enough. And I end up always leaving for later.
i love y’all’s content man, it’s helped me being self taught, but for talking videos like this i would recommend a pop filter on you microphone, your “s” sounds dig through my head when i wear earbuds.
Hey, just to point out that there is a mistake in the video when you said the aperture of the lens you'll keep it on F3.5 - with this lens if you don't keep the same 18mm all the time then the aperture will change, therefore everything else must be adjusted to have the same exposure.
There is a lot of great information here. I remember when the first DSLRs and such came out, you only had standard profiles and 1080p. Then eventually fake log profiles came out for cams like the 5D series... or you had an option to pay for a new firmware that included a basic log (Clog 1 for the 5D IV) but even then the log was very basic and the codecs were terrible. Now we have things like Clog3 available on cams like the R6 II, with crispy full frame oversampled 4k and even full frame oversampled 4k 60 and people still aren't happy and complain there is no Clog2 or whatever. I think if you can't make an amazing video with a setup like this, then you as the creator are the problem.
Colorizing and then transferring your clips to Premier doesn't make your work 10 times slower? 😅 What happens if later you want to reduce the grain or adjust the temperature... Another render?
Very nice Video...thank you for doing it, it will help me a lot. By the way, I am a 14 (nearly 15) years old beginner videographer from germany and like your videos that much...thay helped me out in the past a lot. And I am a, quite good videographer I guess for the while that I am filming now, but I am kinda like to stupid to think of any kind of an interesting nice and quick storie. Have a tip?
Ironically this is the one video i needed yesterday for a project 😂

Solid video boys! Great work.

awsome! Landon!
Learned a lot from this!
Clicked on the video, only because i saw (even Nikon) so I knew this video is legit.
Finally they put up a video regarding Nikon😂❤
i love y’all’s content man, it’s helped me being self taught, but for talking videos like this i would recommend a pop filter on you microphone, your “s” sounds dig through my head when i wear earbuds.
God bless you Landon
love the font your using
Amazing tips💡 you share.. Good Job keep it up ❤
This video just motivated me so much!
Love from Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome tips as always❤
Some great tips on here. But wouldn't we need to know how to colour grade on DaVinci to get the look we want?
“Let shadows be shadows” 100%!
Great video!

great video!
we have the same first camera and this is lit!!!
TY!
Ha! I actually have a Nikon D5100. I bought a Fujifilm X-T4 2 years ago. Interesting that I can fake a log with the D5100. Thanks.
Could make a video about color grading?
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the video. I been wondering how you determine output export bit rate. Do you match it to the record bit rate? Thanks.
Please suggest the best budget and beginners filmmaking camera

quite helpful
Make a video about sound Design and story telling 🫡
make stuff you like ! Wow!!!
Basically 10% camera gear and 90% colour grading
Hay, Landon, I'm Ukrainian, you have told about editing, can you talk in other video about sound design, a few important things for beginners?
I shoot all my videos with a Nikon camera cos that's what i have and they turn out well. I have to work with what i have now till I get what i want
"Any old tripod will do" and shows one of the most expensive tripods ever made 🤣
Hi..Sir ..Nice Video. I am Indian Cinematographer. thanks
I feel like did a time travel.. My first camera was Nikon D5300
Cant wait for iPhone 15 pro vs 16 pro
That was my first camera hahah
🙌🙏🌟
Your filming with nikon D5100 with no SD Card..
Unpopular Opinion: GEAR. DEFINITELY MATTERS...
😅😅😅😅
It matters, but low budget gear doesn't stop you from creating videos and stuff, specially on social media!
God bless you Landon
