What is your fave camera + lens combo? (stuck on a desert island, it's all you have for the rest of your life) **also beware of scammers in the comments, I will not be messaging you on youtube**
I've been using my EOS M6 mark II with a Sigma 16-35. I use it for TV documentary work. That's it. Maybe an additional nifty fifty. I know this gear like the back of my hand.
Tbh I really don’t know, I have too many fave cameras but if I were to choose it would probably be my Canon 5D mkIV, it’s got everything I need (apart from in body image stabilization and a bunch of other stuff)
Loving my c70 with some vintage nikkor lenses or just a classic 24-70. Internal ND is just too important :). But I'm really honestly, currently my favourite is my original A7s with these cheap Pergear manual focus 35mm f1.4 lenses for photos of the kids lol. Don't forget you can technically buy a 49mm to 77mm or 82mm step up ring without needing to stack 7 or 8 or them. Like 10 bucks on Amazon :).
oh hi. youtube has done something strange and now the video is out of sync. my apologies. hoping this fixes itself soon as it wasn't like this always?!
No dodads, wingdings … just the gear you need to to be a successful film maker. So good to see so many new people on this channel! You deserve it Mark. AOD is the best ❤
You guys have been so amazing to upcoming filmmakers like myself. I’ve entered the contest as I’m in need to great gear. Thank you all for even giving us the opportunity! 🤞🏽
Finally popped into AOD a few months ago and have already been a part of a number of shoots with local AOD filmmakers. What a dope community for those of us just starting out!
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the amazing content you're providing to the film community. Your videos are not only informative and educational but also incredibly uplifting and inspiring. As someone who is passionate about filmmaking, it's truly refreshing to see a channel that focuses not only on the technical aspects of the craft but also on the emotional and personal growth that comes with pursuing a creative endeavor. Your dedication to spreading positivity and encouragement is infectious, and I always feel motivated to tackle new projects after watching your videos. Thank you for all that you do to support and inspire the film community. Keep up the fantastic work!
This channel has helped me with probably the most important aspect of filmmaking: the storytelling aspect. One of the few UA-cam channels that doesn’t always push gear as the answer to making good videos, hopeful to be the lucky winner but also hopeful for anyone that wins to get a chance to up their game or get their foot in the door of filmmaking.
AOD has been a game changer and helped me feel confident to chase down some big dreams! Recently returned from filming a short Documentary in Ukraine 🇺🇦! Mike and Mark are gifted communicators and passionate about getting you a top shelf course!
Thank you for your immense contributions to the film community. Your dedication and hard work have undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the industry, and it is truly appreciated.
Looks like a hell of a setup, and the samples of footage used to create this giveaway video were perfect demonstrations. Entered and crossing my fingers!!
I'm so excited to watch more of your videos to increase my documentary skills. I live in Eastern Kentucky where there are so many stories to tell, but not enough filmmakers such as myself in this area to bring these stories to life. Thanks for everything that you do, Mark!
Thanks for making storytelling more real, it's hard to find a genuiness in a industry that will ask you to give everything to it and give little back in return. You are a help to the people who love this the most. Thanks for inspiring me to tell more stories, and create constantly.
As a filmmaker who loves documentary filmmaking, a setup like this would be game changing for me. I tell the behind the scenes stories of life on the road for different bands, love capturing unique stories of exceptional individuals, and have even made a documentary about a dog that was rescued from a dog fighting ring in Dubai. Definitely entering this contest!
So glad I found you and this channel Mark. In murky waters of a late bloomer filmmaker, you make it possible to see some clarity and hope on the horizon. I'm very excited about AOD. A spark has been lit! Thank you again!
Nice! I entered the 1st giveaway but eventually learned more about AoD. Even without thinking about the gear giveaway, the knowledge itself when you join the live streams, watch the videos, get the modules is so invaluable and cost 50x more than any gear giveaway. What I appreciate about AoD is how it changed my perspective when I meet other people and hear their stories. I meet people from all walks of life begging their story to be told. I used to be passive about it and would just listen but after AoD helped open my eyes, I am empowered to create the story. It won't be nominated for awards or Oscars, but the visceral impact it has to that person and the people around them solidifies the story and legacy. Thanks AoD for opening my eyes and for teaching the knowledge on how to create these documentaries. More power to you and the team!
Wow, this was such a great video! I really loved the camera rig you used, it captured the shots so beautifully. You are truly an inspiration, thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
you guys are honestly such an inspiration to the film making community. no words for what the whole journey has pulled out of yourself and what youve pulled out of your followers. lifting eachother up like this is what its all about 🙏 thank you
You guys are freaking amazing for all the knowledge you share and all the things you give away. Thank you for everything and can't wait to see you when doors open in AOD!
What I would miss from that set-up is the best accessory ever for the FX3: the handle extension (MD3490 Smallrig part number) Not only doest it add length for a better grip, but also adds a NATO rail on top, which is in mi opinion better than that magic arm that Mark uses, as you can use a Monitor Mount like the 2906 that can be adjusted with friction.. so you can adjust the angle on the monitor on the fly, with one hand, very quickly.. no need to unscrew anything... Also, you can adjust the position of the monitor itself on the rail, to have it more to the front..
Man you`re the legend! It's incredible how much you give, for FREE! So much knowledge, so many little inputs. It would be an understatement that you've influenced me as a filmmaker just a little bit, you did a whole ton! Whenever I'm going for a project, the first one I'm going to for tips is your channel. I'm so stoked on the AOD Courses as well and once I get some more jobs going (which is in the making) I definitely want to join it and be a part of this awesome community of storytellers you've created. Thanks again Mark for everything and big greetings from germany!:) I think you inspire people all over the world. PS: Wouldn't say no to trading my old trusty but very rusty A7III for that tiny but very shiny FX3! :P
How do things like this happen when you need it the most ?! I just want to say this is invaluable what you guys are doing. I mean, literally, making dreams possible. The fact you're giving access to knowledge and gear. My mind is blown, and thank you for pushing the community aspect because you can even share this equipment to help film your buddies' projects!
You guys are a massive inspiration to myself and the rest of the community. Thank you all for everything and I can't wait to join the program. I am currently working on my first doc and have 3 more in the planning stages. I don't think you guys know how much you've actually helped us out.
FX6 and the 24mm GM have never let me down on the job, but I'm really enjoying the 14mm GM and cropping to widescreen 2:1 aspect ratio lately, especially if I know I'll be doing any documentary style filming in an indoor location like a home or bedroom and plan on finishing the project in widescreen!
Amazing of you to give away your set up . But what I enjoy the most is the education and advice your channel provides to calm my uncertainties while inspiring me to refine my skills as a filmmaker. Thanks again Mark
Just entered the giveaway. You guys are incredible and I’m so glad to have gotten to watch part of your journey! Congratulations and good luck on your next adventure!!
Just enrolled in Module One so excited to start learning from you and Michael, my film journey starts today and I'm setting off as a complete beginner. Picking up this kit would be sensational! Thank you so much for inspiring me, and I'm delighted to now be part of your filmmaking community.
I'm really grateful to have found this channel. This seems like an amazing opportunity, and I've never won a contest before, so I'm hopeful that luck will be on my side this time. Thank you, Mark!
Just dropping a message that you channel has been a lot of help so far. Thanks for doing what you're doing and giving new film makers a chance to kickstart their business with awesome gear!
Documentary itself represents a natural, organic way of cinema, despite all this types of camera gear and equipment, we can shoot documentary and that’s it, because we feel it, we love it. Of course a good setup will help you achieve the image and the mood you want, I would say a good solid setup for my work would be a fx6 A cam and a fx3 B cam with 2 zoom lenses, a 10-18 and a 24-70 and minimum a prime, for example a helios 44 is such underrated but an amazing vintage lens! I recommend for anyone to learn and watch Werner Herzog’s movies, especially the documentaries because he learned something that is beyond cinema itself, is about pure emotion, a way of experiencing a story and how to style everything up. I am from Romania and I also want to recommend this Documentary for everyone out here, “Black Buffalo Water” 1977. This represents the beginning of documentary in Romania for me! Good luck everyone and hope to see more documentaries soon, from everyone!
@@markbone such an amazing piece of art. I’m still a bit upset that he is not notorious enough yet! Another great scene is in grizzly man, when he listen to the tape, and all the building before and after that scene. That’s cinema! Best of luck and hope to see better and better video, as you got us used until now!
It is true in many fields that less is more. It is the old idea that limitations breed creativity. Going gear crazy gets in the way of doing, in so many areas of life.
This is such a HUGE giveaway with so much value. I would love to win this giveaway as much as anyone. BUT, the real value is in the AOD courses! If you are a filmmaker of any sort, looking to grow in your career, get on that waitlist! Worth every penny.
Your channel is one of the most inspiring filmmaker channels on UA-cam. Love your relaxed and engaging way of sharing extremely helpful tips. Your advice has made me tell much better stories, I know this video focuses on a amazing set up but your channel has help me do better on any set up and most importantly focusing on a telling better stories, most by having a more structure game plan before going into a shoot. You deserve all the success you've gotten and more. Looking forward to learning more from you this year!
Your channel has helped me sooooo much! I've been making the switch from black magic cameras to Sony and have been really loving it. The auto focused has helped on so many shoots when I can't get an AC. I'm renting the fx3 for a project this week and this video is so helpful. Congrats on AOD!
I was looking for a good setup for documentary-style shooting and came across this. I'm a military photographer, but recently got into video so now I'm looking into gear that will help me better capture the action and military training in the field. I've been running and gunning with my DSLR since I started shooting video so I think it's about time to get a grip/cage to make the footage a little smoother. This setup is nice because it's not too excessive or over encumbering especially when you're running around capturing the moment.
Such a beast setup! I want to get more serious with my filmmaking and this whole channel seems like the answer to that! Bless you guys and this channel
Wow this is awesome such a great give away! We learned so much from your UA-cam video's as amateur film makers. Especially to just go out there and try it. That you don't 100 lenses to make a nice film. Thanks for the inspiration! We entered the competition, good luck to everyone who joins to inspire us with awesome film 😍
I got into video making recently when I started my UA-cam channel. This channel provides excellent tips and knowledge for creating professional videos. Thank you for the great content!
Found you through Peter, but this channel has been invaluable to me. I've been making films for years, but there's just so much quality information in each video you put out. And now a giveaway? Incredible.
I can't imagine ever having a budget for something like this (in fact, I've wanted to get some sort of DSLR or mirrorless camera for well over a decade and haven't been able to), so this would be amazing! Thanks so much for doing this! ❤🔥🙌❤🔥
I’ve been wanting to get a Helios 442 for a while. I usually use my 24-70 f2.8 on my a7iv because I’m mainly a photographer who also does video. Lately I’ve picked up more work doing Reels for people, and I’ve been using my 35mm and 24mm for those
Thank you Mark for all you do on this channel, and with AOD! This setup is beautiful in it's simplicity and function, so cool you are doing a giveaway.
Damn I regret selling my Helios few years back, when I was doing only photos... But it is something with all those "vintage lenses" that is so climatic and make image looks different. Now I'm using Soligor 28mm with my Fuji XT4, and it is also cool looking.
New to your channel Mark but that looks like the best run n gun/docu set up money could buy right now! I make videos on an a6300 and SEL18-200 so this would be a crazy difference. Big respect from Scotland cant wait to see what is to come next in the series!
Love your channel. Love your approach to mastering skills for budding filmmakers. And most of all, love your films for their content and style. Thank you.
I am really interested in learning more about the bracket you are using for the monitor mount. Couldn't find it on SmallRig, but it looks very cool. Thank you in advance.
Joining AOD has been my dream since i discovered this channel and i’ve commented about it multiple times and as a person living in an unrecognized small country (somaliland) full of untold stories and hidden gems of characters it would be apricity ( warmth of the sun during winter) for me if i win this opportunity🫶🏾❤️
New aspiring film maker. Wanting to upgrade from my zv1. Thank you for putting this together! Good luck and am looking forward to gain even more knowledge from your channel🤘

Sony a7iii and the Sigma 35mm🤓💪

Can people in the UK apply?
No it wasn't like this. 👍🏽
Just a heads up, there was a bot account with your profile picture asking me for my telegram. I reported it as spam.
@@thatbencrane lmao same
thanks for the giveaway ! Hope to win this one 😄 I joined the very first batch of AOD btw and I hope whoever wins creates great films 👌

So happy to see someone making a wonderful community for filmmakers
💕💕💕

Currently rocking a Panasonic S5 with a 28-70 - works great for all my documentary needs.
Honestly, this channel has been such a breath of fresh air, I've been on the fence about joining AOD. I guess this is the "push" I needed ;)
You’re gonna LOVE AOD
I've begun to love documentary filmmaking over the past 2 years. So many stories can be told.
AOD has been a game changer and helped me feel confident to chase down some big dreams! Recently returned from filming a short Documentary in Ukraine 🇺🇦! Mike and Mark are gifted communicators and passionate about getting you a top shelf course!
Do u know if its going to cost anything to sign up for the waitlist?
Loving what you and Michael are doing with AOD. You guys are continually giving openly and freely.
Thank you for your immense contributions to the film community. Your dedication and hard work have undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the industry, and it is truly appreciated.

probably my favorite person to watch on youtube and your musicbed music style is so consistent
There's something going right with your talking head lighting I haven't seen anything this moody and balanced, looks great!
Thank you for giving people like us an opportunity, this world can be hard and self expression is the key to madness we lock inside Mark ☺️

So nice to see that you are not only sharing your knowledge, but "physically" want to help others who may can't afford these (yet)!
you guys are honestly such an inspiration to the film making community. no words for what the whole journey has pulled out of yourself and what youve pulled out of your followers. lifting eachother up like this is what its all about 🙏 thank you
You guys are freaking amazing for all the knowledge you share and all the things you give away. Thank you for everything and can't wait to see you when doors open in AOD!
I've been using the GH5 with the 12mm-60mm as a beginner combo for the past two years. Amazing camera! Still have lots to learn.
What I would miss from that set-up is the best accessory ever for the FX3: the handle extension (MD3490 Smallrig part number)
Not only doest it add length for a better grip, but also adds a NATO rail on top, which is in mi opinion better than that magic arm that Mark uses, as you can use a Monitor Mount like the 2906 that can be adjusted with friction.. so you can adjust the angle on the monitor on the fly, with one hand, very quickly.. no need to unscrew anything...

UA-cam started doing this today on this video halfway through the day. Very frustrating.
This is a super cool setup! Lens is one of a kind with super cool bokeh. Been using it for 13 years. Good Luck guys!

Thank you for the opportunity! Fingers crossed

Just dropping a message that you channel has been a lot of help so far. Thanks for doing what you're doing and giving new film makers a chance to kickstart their business with awesome gear!
Thanks for all you do AOD. And this giveaway is pretty insane!
I'm working on setting up a documentary for my thesis for school. This channel has been super helpful, I"m really glad to have found it. Thank you!
my fav cam combo would be the fx3 + 16-35. heavy, but oh so pretty
Thanks Mark for supporting Ukraine! 💪 Peace in the world! 🙏

I recommend for anyone to learn and watch Werner Herzog’s movies, especially the documentaries because he learned something that is beyond cinema itself, is about pure emotion, a way of experiencing a story and how to style everything up. I am from Romania and I also want to recommend this Documentary for everyone out here, “Black Buffalo Water” 1977. This represents the beginning of documentary in Romania for me!
Good luck everyone and hope to see more documentaries soon, from everyone!
I love Into the Abyss by Herzog
@@markbone such an amazing piece of art. I’m still a bit upset that he is not notorious enough yet! Another great scene is in grizzly man, when he listen to the tape, and all the building before and after that scene. That’s cinema!
Best of luck and hope to see better and better video, as you got us used until now!
I've been following you from the start and I knew this was more than a filmmaking channel. Thanks man!
The LCD monitor on the FX-30 is really good. I get it's small but it's much better than the fx3/a7siii.
It is true in many fields that less is more. It is the old idea that limitations breed creativity. Going gear crazy gets in the way of doing, in so many areas of life.
This is an amazing opportunity for filmmakers! Thank you for giving these chances for your community, keep up the great work!!🐐
Focus on story. The most underrated, but the most important, advice for all the filmmakers. Thanks
I am making my first documentary and I am really grateful that I found your channel! You've given me the initial boost to start my journey 😅
Looks amazing! Thanks for all your help throughout the years!
This is such a HUGE giveaway with so much value. I would love to win this giveaway as much as anyone. BUT, the real value is in the AOD courses! If you are a filmmaker of any sort, looking to grow in your career, get on that waitlist! Worth every penny.

I've watched so many of your videos man, I appreciate your work. Keep it up, thank you for being a real voice in a world of clickbait gear reviews.
Thanks Colton!
Well this would be proper lovely, twouldn't it? Also quite kind- regardless of who wins, thanks Mark for sharing your wealth around. :D

Definitely constant inspiration, thanks for caring about the community as much as you do!
I got into video making recently when I started my UA-cam channel. This channel provides excellent tips and knowledge for creating professional videos. Thank you for the great content!
Such a powerful gear in a small form factor!
Good luck to whoever get the FX3.
Favorite Camera + lens must be the FX6 plus 24-70GM II, if I may take 2 lenses the 24mm GM and the 50mm 1.2
This is awesome!
Good Luck to everyone ! Thank you Mark for the opportunity to dream on.
Less is more!
Found you through Peter, but this channel has been invaluable to me. I've been making films for years, but there's just so much quality information in each video you put out. And now a giveaway? Incredible.
Would still go with the c70 over the FX3 for those internal NDs, internal raw, and better dynamic range without noise reduction.
Holy, the storytelling and camera work in this video is insane. I'm want to be this skilled. Hopefully I will one day
I can't imagine ever having a budget for something like this (in fact, I've wanted to get some sort of DSLR or mirrorless camera for well over a decade and haven't been able to), so this would be amazing! Thanks so much for doing this! ❤🔥🙌❤🔥
Awesome work y’all have been doing! Since I started my journey I have been watching your videos! You are very helpful and inspiring, thank you 🙏
I’ve been wanting to get a Helios 442 for a while. I usually use my 24-70 f2.8 on my a7iv because I’m mainly a photographer who also does video. Lately I’ve picked up more work doing Reels for people, and I’ve been using my 35mm and 24mm for those
Thank you Mark for all you do on this channel, and with AOD! This setup is beautiful in it's simplicity and function, so cool you are doing a giveaway.
im looking into getting started with filmmaking and this channel has taught me a serious lot of useful infos, cheers!
I've learned so much through you guys! I can't wait to see what I can learn in the course as well! Thank you for all you do and for the AOD videos!!
Damn I regret selling my Helios few years back, when I was doing only photos... But it is something with all those "vintage lenses" that is so climatic and make image looks different. Now I'm using Soligor 28mm with my Fuji XT4, and it is also cool looking.
This is awesome. As a phototgrapher and someone who aspires to be a much better film maker, your channel is killer. Appreciate the videos.
New to your channel Mark but that looks like the best run n gun/docu set up money could buy right now! I make videos on an a6300 and SEL18-200 so this would be a crazy difference. Big respect from Scotland cant wait to see what is to come next in the series!
Love your channel. Love your approach to mastering skills for budding filmmakers. And most of all, love your films for their content and style. Thank you.
I am really interested in learning more about the bracket you are using for the monitor mount. Couldn't find it on SmallRig, but it looks very cool. Thank you in advance.
@jesselopezvlog Did you find it? I'm looking for it too!
Honestly the best set up for me is the tamron 17-28 with the a7iii. Nothing special or extravagant it’ll get the job done every time .
Joining AOD has been my dream since i discovered this channel and i’ve commented about it multiple times and as a person living in an unrecognized small country (somaliland) full of untold stories and hidden gems of characters it would be apricity ( warmth of the sun during winter) for me if i win this opportunity🫶🏾❤️
Awww apricity !!! That is deeep. good luck you must need it alot
@@eymensamu 🥹🥹 INDEED! Thank you sm 🫶🏾
Done, done, and done! Man would this setup be fantastic for my first doc that I am planning right now...
New aspiring film maker. Wanting to upgrade from my zv1. Thank you for putting this together! Good luck and am looking forward to gain even more knowledge from your channel🤘
Yah, filed monitors are better for sure, but Sony screens really are the worst. The screen on a $3000 Sony is on par with Canon’s cheapest camera.
