>>3354955I started with doing simple epks for bands that recorded at local studio a couple of years ago, I'm friends with the owner so he hooked me up once and then started just casually recommending me almost as if I was part of the in house crew. Then I started to do music videos for some of the musicians I met and branched out a bit, met a cool director and now we're a team of three doing all kinds of music related stuff from live sessions to music videos.
Work with what you have and with the people you know. Gear doesn't matter at all, results and your attitude and communication with the people do. If you listen to them and put in some obvious effort to get them what they want they won't care whether you shoot on a red or not. Of course in the long run scraping together some equipment you can offer as a cheaper alternative to renting will be a good thing, especially when you want to be fast and versatile and when dealing with u signed musicians that pay for everything out of their own pockets, but I started out with a 6d, 7d and bmpcc and just rented when needed, no one ever cared about what kind of equipment I brought as long as the result looks the way they wanted.
