*The best camera isn't the one you have. It's the one you master.* As a journalist in training, such words are widsom. 📹🎬

But obviously a $3k camer with a $2k lens will much more increase the quality. See by this guy's videos.

Aspiring filmmakers should take note of the fact that you have some of the best lighting of anyone on KZread, 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.

I know this is a year old post, but I went to your channel and didn't see anything up. You got it man. Keep going. Make something. I sure hope you are not dead.

Dude, thank you so much for this!! Seriously, even just the part about you mentioning that it took 12 years total to amass all of your kit made me feel so much better about my current kit. I've been at it for four years VERY much part-time now, so again - thank you.

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen but it is so honest and real! Not only showing what you have now but talking about what you used to use with good results! As a short film maker working on upping my skills this is super helpful! Thank you so much for making this!

I LOVE your videos Matt. I learn a lot of things: minimalism, life style, coffee and know... Video recording supplies!!

Thank you for talking about how messy the process is. I'm constantly trying to get better at what I do and it's easy to get in your own head and tell yourself that your work is terrible. They say that most directors love the shoot and then realize what they actually have to edit (paraphrase) and basically shit themselves. I think that's constantly true. Your videos are super high quality and I appreciate you taking the time to voice what actually goes on to create them.

I always love your videos regarding filmmaking! I would love to see some content on your filming process, and some tips from an experienced filmmaker! Thanks Matt!

Matt you are a legend

no surprise you are professional! your video feels so much natural than any others. No over reaction and story is genuine and tight. I really like your video!

Please do more videos on filmmaking, how you started, where you got your kit from, and what other past videotography have you done?

@Matt D'Avella Always nice to see someone else's setup and gear. Thanks for sharing this! 🙌

I'm not lying but that under cover on bed I use to record audio for my video. Thank you matt for sharing this wonderful video that make me realize to master in camera not to buy a heavy purchase and I'll focus on that. This is the first video I've watched of yours and subbed.

When I feel like giving up as a youtuber I come to your channel. the best Camera is not the one you have but the one you master"... This is goals, You inspire me

Matt: “When I’m filming myself, by myself, all alone.. by myself..... by myself.” Hilarious.

I love how your voice overs are thought out and occasionally play into the b-roll. It makes your videos seem much more cohesive.

Such a coincidence... I am editing an interview and music-session right now, my first ever video to come online (and first in general), and I was wondering how you go about making a video. Then this pops up. _Always_ on point, Matt. Thanks!

That was one of the most stressful clips yet!!! ahahaha As a planner I thought I was going stupid crazy trying different setups to do shoots. SOOOOO encouraging seeing a vet doing just as insane things to get the desired result. ALSO LOVE that one moment you broke the 4th wall over your narration at 1:02!! I absolutely am inspired the way you pull such abstract elements together in such polished content. No small wonder I've been a Patreon sub for the first time ever to this channel in particular. Keep killing it Matt!!! You'll definitely get the Rock on your podcast one day!!! :D :D

This was such a great video--thanks Matt!

Really like your film grades - would you consider making and selling a LUT pack, or make a video around your colour grading process? Thanks for the great video Matt!

Hey Matt, I’d be keen to see a video on your creative process when developing storyline + storyboards. Loved this video!

been binge watching your channel since last night. SO 👏🏻 MUCH 👏🏻 GOOD 👏🏻 INFO!

I've only been filmmaking on a more serious level for about 3 years now, and I can relate to a lot of this already, but there are still great tips. I like your quote, "The best camera isn't the camera you have, but the camera you master." That hit hard.

You’re the master of your mind. 🦋

Fun to watch videos. I just try to keep looking ahead and rarely look back. I have such a minimal setup and only purchase more if the checkbook allows. I love seeing where other creators start.

Love this video Matt! Thanks for posting!

I don’t film or do photography or vlogging but I love this breakdown, feel like I can come back to this if ever.

I love this so much because it’s sooo fun I love film making thanks for sharing, much love from Vancouver Canada

Great insights, really appreciate getting a behind the scenes look at everything!

Hey Matt! Would you consider making a video about light positions and how to use natural light properly? Thanks man, love you videos!

Fantastic video Matt!

Would love to see a video about your editing work flow or even file management and your minimalist approach to it.

Love your style of filming and editing.

Fantastic advice and content!

Hey mate, love the video!! It would be awesome if you could take us through in a video from beginning to end. This is including the idea, script, setting up, filming, editing and what not. Even if it's only like a 1 minute film. It would help us get a picture of the whole job. Nice work!

The opening quote made me a subscriber! Great content, man! Love it.

These videos are so helpful and inspiring!

I got thrown in at the deep end for my work job in terms of video production and this video has helped me a lot. The lav mic being unreliable has killed too many videos for me 😿

I'm not interested in becoming a filmmaker, and yet here I am watching this because your videos are just too beautiful.

Appreciate the overview! Thank you, Matt!

I see you having more fun in your vids. I’m getting ahold of your sense of humor and you crack me up man..

So glad to have discovered you on my feeds. Just subscribed... I'm really looking forward to the awesome stuff you got to bring! I really like that boom pole. Never thought there was one you can collapse together! 😵

You are at another level. 🙌

This was thoroughly excellent. I've often thought about doing a video on my 'everyday' film making gear but couldn't articulate it in a sub 10 minute package as you have done here. Super impressed. ONE QUESTION - How do you shoot your top down stuff? What pole / mounts / weights are you using? Your top down shots are supreme.

My interests are not in filmmaking, podcasting, nor camera gear (besides watching and listening), but I really enjoy your videos regardless of the topic. They are so cool and interesting and love your humor! 🤣 🌸

I love ur house & ur couch so much !

Love this video! Still learning what kind of gear I want, story I want to tell for my channel. Still trying to figure out how to edit as well. Any editing tips would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work Matt! Thanks!

Would definitely love to see more such videos. You can make separate videos for different things (Vlogging, Podcasting, Documenting etc.)

Thank you Matt. I just discovered your channel and am looking forward to look around.

I hope you make some more videos !! I'd be interested on Starter Equip for youtubers ... and on software programs that are okay for beginners - to the much better quality.

This was great, Matt. I'd love to see a video on your editing and color grading process, either for a talking head style video or one of the podcast interviews.

Great content as always

Hey Matt! Question: How do you script your youtube videos? Do you write every word or just make a bullet list with the subjects you want to cover? How about a teleprompter? Ever used? LOVE what you do man, changed my life.

Hey Matt, loved the video. Would love to learn more about composition and lighting!

You are the one that inspired me! Thanks !

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 😁 Thank you for the continued free content and free learning.

I didn't understand a thing you said but watched anyway. I couldn't care less about filmmaking/photography but loved the video... Whatever it is that you're doing with your cameras and... depth of field (what the hell's that?), you're doing it great.

Loved this video. Very insightful

Thank you for doing this! Been slowly converting to minimalism myself. Love the kit website, any chance on updating it with the china ball, light, and socket you mentioned? Would love to implement that, too :)

Great video Matt! I also wanted to know: What about your creative process? How do you get your ideas??

Would love to see a video explaining different lighting setups. DIY and more expensive setups.

Huge fan sir - you're my inspiration to give voiceover a go!

Just discovered you great job love your framing and colour grade I’m a new sub I would love to see more of this for sure The best camera is the one you master love it !

Matt, I honestly didn't care about cameras and film-making. But good lord, I enjoy the hell out of your sense of humour and clear explanations. You woke up curiosity within me, you rock! Cheerss

Wow the fact that you intertwine the podcast with the video experience on top creating videos by themselves on top of doing vlogs all at once (it seems) is respectable, good job! Did working with a film crew help you establish the process of film making by yourself better or was it trial and error/self taught that got you there? It seems plenty to keep track of, I want to see your notes/scheduling of how you layout/keep track of all that content haha

Help me with macro videography. This was a great help!! Keep it going.

Awesome video...wow...goals!

I love the humor in this!

Thank you, Matt

Very insightful. Plenty of great filmmaking tips here!

Your make really high quality videos that are shot so perfectly that I had to watch this video. If you ever make another documentary or a big project I would love to help you!!! 🙏

Awesome! I really enjoyed this! Patreon sounds cool, not sure if I could spend my spending money on more videos of you vlogging yet (It is a small amount since we are saving for an investment) . Lol I am saving up for a camera with it. I am on the detox with ya, but find that useful YT videos do not fit my category of social media:) I really enjoyed a behind the scenes video. You do a great job! Ps. I will be sure to reference the kit when I have enough dough for my camera and lens:)
