    Aspiring filmmakers should take note of the fact that you have some of the best lighting of anyone on UA-cam, yet your main light is just an inexpensive decorative lamp. If anyone needed evidence that you don’t always need the best of the best gear, this is it!

      Might be a little too late, but use davinci resolve. The free version is really good and there are a lot of people switching from Adobe products to Resolve or Resolve Studio. Even the Studio version only costs 299$ for once. Trust me, it's faster and big hollywood studios are using mainly Davinci Resolve Studio.

    Matt I almost wanna get that quote from the start engraved on my skin!!!! “the best camera isn’t the one you have, its the one you master!!"
    I used a Nikon D90 for many years before finally upgrading to a full frame camera and I always remember getting such great compliments on my portfolio. People used to say how I must have an amazing camera.
    The truth of course being that camera was so limiting creatively but it got the job done for a long time due to the fact that I knew that little camera inside out. and I also worked my ass off in editing.
    Just as I finished writing this comment, I received a notification about a new episode has been uploaded on your podcast 😁
