2 years ago I wanted to start videography.
Youtube shills 4K cameras and gear way beyond my budget.
/p/ is about gearfags and people who shill cameras they can’t even use.
I buy a 2012 canon 1200D, shitty digital camera. I shoot a few short films and end up doing better quality films than all people on this thread with BM4K cams.
-Fuck gear, fuck cam shilling.
-Learn basic cinematography, basic videography.
-Watch good movies/good (cinematic) anime.
-What's in front of the camera matters more than what's in the camera.
-Any camera can do an excellent job, ANY camera.
-Manual mode, master it
-Don’t let "experts" confuse, intimidate or discourage you.
-Shoot, shoot and shoot you will get better the more you try.
-Stay active and in time you will learn how and why you need specific gear/lenses in specific situations.
-Believe in yourself
