Ай бұрын
Yeah I agree, that would definitely aid in the creative process but having the best gear doesn’t guarantee success on KZread. That’s why I advise people not to get too hang up on gear. Just create content and upload. I wish I honestly took that advice because I would have started my KZread Channel back in 2017 when I started entertaining the idea.

This was brilliant, you're my current favourite KZreadr. Do you use Sony A7IV for the POV shots if yes how? because whenever I have tried I get so much shake that its not really usable. Secondly maybe do a short on audio setting for Sony A7IV especially connecting your wireless mics. Great job definitely hitting that bell icon!

You’re welcome man, glad my tips helped out. I currently use a Lenovo Legion 5i pro, it cost me around $1500 dollars when I got it so not the most affordable but it’s a beast and can handle a lot of heavy editing and gaming. When I was strictly doing videos for social media I used a basic HP laptop ($500) but I’d say if you can invest in something with a bit more power like around $700 to $800 you’ll be able to do a bit more editing wise.

Привет из России! Очень интересно рассказал. Спасибо большое. Закрученное боке, это старый объектив типа Гелиос или Зенит? В комнате у тебя очень много цветных шумов. Но это не портит твоё видео. Может даже наоборот, оно стало не кинематографичным, а аутентичным. И кадры вне фокусировки тоже не портят твоё видео. Я тоже снимаю свои блоги.

Hey greetings my friend, glad to see I have viewers all the way out in Russia 🇷🇺 🙌🏾. The swirling bokeh is all done in post production my friend. I use Viltrox lenses and edit my footage to have more of that film 🎞️ look. I add grain and noise to make it my footage not look digital. Sometimes I also try to shoot in manual mode to avoid the auto-focus from hunting for focus which can be distracting. Appreciate you subscribing and joining along for the ride.
