Americans have this privilege of cheap film making stuff, i am a bolivian film maker and here there is no online shoping or even funccional mail, i manage to direct 2 ads for companies, edit a bunch of music videos and directed 1, and i still have my first camera ever a nikon D3200, gear here is EXTREMenly Expensive because economy is complicated so we usully have to come out with creative solucions , i am not complaining i am just saying, never put excuses, tools may make your image looks better but the most important thing is passion, so if you cant affort expensive gear dont let that stop you... and also be greatful with what you have.

I'm starting off COMPLETELY independently and it's not easy, but I'm making it work. I do the writing, directing, cinematography(not pursuing that profession but it's fun and very helpful), grip(again, just helpful), acting, editing and so on. I'm pursuing acting, directing, writing, and producing, but when you're starting off and all alone, it DEFINITELY helps to have your own equipment and know how to use said equipment.

I appreciate how realistic this video is. You're not just like "OH BUY IT! FIND THE MONEY AND DO IT," which isn't reasonable for a lot of us who have super limited budgets.

After buying my first real audio recorder, a Sound devices mixpre, and a blimp for wind protection, i fell in love with good sound. It makes such a huuge difference. Its a relief knowing that you will have good sound even in bad weather. I also recently bought the rode filmmaking kit, with the wireless lav mic. Really impressed, and the ease of use makes it a joy for clients on set as well.

All good advice, all lessons I learned the hard way! What do I get most excited about buying these days? Things like c-stands or tripods, or audio cables. 😀

I started with an T3i and magic lantern. Now I've settled on the Fuji X-T3 and a bunch of primes and I'm very happy with this setup so far since I do both Pictures and Video.

Love your channel! Very informative. I'm a neophyte, I just stumbled onto your material and sooo grateful! Thank you!

Guy you are doin a gr8 job...u talkin abt things that really matters to an artist who is just initiating ....thx for being generous to us with ur experience

This video was fantastic, tons of great pointers.

This was a great interview and excellent advice, especially on renting stuff, to and from.

Perfect! I can watch videos on investing and reminders in buying gear all day every day. Even if it's just a reminder I don't need to buy the next "best" thing. Another, please!

Some of the points really hit home! Thank you both!

Awesome video! Got excited when i saw the original Bmpcc in the thumbnail, got even more excited when i saw that my video on the camera was featured. Love it! :D

Best video have seen on the Internet for while. I stay in Nigeria, am an amateur filmmaker and in a fix of what to buy.

Another amazing video from this channel.

You guys are the best. So much value

Mannn, this was SO HELPFUL and eye opener!!! Thanks so much

The tripod section hit home and I have advice for anyone starting out. Check local yard sales in your area. My first real tripod I got for $11 at a yard sale (it was old but going for $50-$100 on eBay at the time) and it served me well until I upgraded to a modern tripod in 2019 with quick release. Moral of the story: Yard sales are your friend at times

This video was amazing!! Super helpful and inspiring, definitely subscribing 😁

awesome to see the follow up to the other gear needs

Thank you very much for this video! Very informative

This is the best video i've seen about cameras for beginners! Im a student and i got 0 dollars/kronoR (SWEDEN). Im personally going to look for a canon camera! And this video gave me more confident to just look for some actors who just wanna make movies like me and just start shooting! Thanks again!

I mostly do still photography and it's less of a video camera than a photo camera, but when I bought my Nikon D7500 (because my D3300 broke, RIP) I started out looking at used gear, and was just about to buy a barely-used camera of the same make and model, when I saw a well-rated seller on eBay who was selling of a batch of them for below even what the used ones were going for. I think I saved about €500 in that deal. Shows the importance of keeping your eyes peeled!

For the last 3+ years, a majority of my work was for a production company that had their own gear. However, because I didn't own much of my own gear, I rarely found work outside of what they provided me. Been slowly investing in lighting equipment and just dropped a few grand on a GH5s package. Great camera with a lot of great and relevant features that can be used on a variety of different projects. I think it'll be a worthwhile investment to get me more of my own jobs and to upgrade to the next thing in a few years.

Beware - the original 5D does NOT do video - bad recommendation

One overlooked item in this video - phone cameras. Phone camera + lighting + boomed diety d3pro could yield some awesome results.

Thank you for the equipment suggestions!! Awesome!! :)

I just bought the Panasonic GH4 and its tremendous, absolute recomendation. 400€ 4k, 1080p 96fps, V-log, fenomenal controls, super lighweight, fully articulated screen and more

Great advice as people focus too much on getting the latest and best. I have FS7, A7ii and a few Rokinon primes and that covers most of my needs

wow i really learn alot from Indy Mogul Keep inspiring us and making more videos for us am taking all the lessons to build a good quality to my KZread videos thanks Ted

doope video guys ❤️ I'm amazed

Casey! It's Muncatchy! This is awesome!

watch out for the e-image "sprinter" version tripod legs. Sometimes the leg locks aren't very tight making the legs unstable.

I love my canon FD lens. I adapted it to my GH5 as well as shooting 35mm stills

I've probably saved myself a lot of money in the last year or more by trying my hardest to repurpose other things to use for my kit. Stuff like the wireless link for the computer monitor. I've been trying to make things like backup cam/gps/etc monitors, and it's a pain in the ass!

Would love a follow up video and maybe links to Casey's rental store/profile. That's a whole new avenue for lowering the $$ barrier for some gear.

This is gold 🤘

On the last one of these, you mentioned the Benro tripod. We actually went and bought it and it's fantastic. Extremely sturdy and not nearly as bulky and heavy as most of the other big tripods.

If you have sub $500 and wanna start videographic thing.. i think Canon SL2 would fit so much. The AF is reliable (tho some people struggling with MF) and there are so many cheap lens regarding to EF mount. I bought it last year and get me done the client job so well.. It's been thru wedding, commercials, company profile, and many more. The only problem I have was only about shaky footage, but with some practice, I'm better now...

It's lightweight, but sturdy and has a fluid head. I also ordered a lens and to be honest i was more impressed with the tripod than the lens when they came in the mail.

Hi found this really interesting and helpful

At 10:58 playing producer role lol which works too, were you do not have to touch any gear but put together a team.....Nice.

Banding together is a pretty good idea.

Cheers for this

Cant beat getting a bmpcc4/6k if you want to shoot films on the best budget Cheapest and a great option which in the last few years has been phenomenal ..

it's super counter intuitive :D you wouldn't think you can massively cheap out on a camera and lenses but then you have to pay extra for a good tripod xD but it is definitely true. i've been there as well ^^

The old zoom h4 has a slight hiss when non phantom power mic is in, I got one, I wish I knew⚠ but I use it as a interface ☺ I hope the new one is better.

The equipment rental sounds like a good idea. Especially since I would do projects as a secondary income and not full time. Most of the sites dont work in europe though. Does anyone have a good recommendation for gear rental in europe?

I found the best solution is to team up with other people and rent what you need for the shoot. That way you can get your hands on quality stuff from the get go, and if you're prepared you can get great results without compromising as much as you would have to if you bought the stuff

@CaseyMcBeath1

One of the ideas mentioned here. Super common when you're starting out

I am I guess an intermediate beginner if that makes sense and have bought most of my beginner gear. What this guy says is all pretty true, but here’s a simple list of what you need: - camera (I got a Sony a6300 and have not regretted it once, still use it after dropping it in a river too.😬) - Lens - if you’re shooting travel films or even films get a versitile lens (mine is 18-135) BUT! If you’re doing like an actual narrative film or documentary get a lens with a low aperture and a wider shot. - 30mm lens - (I regret not getting one of these lenses) - Tripod, good quality is nice but not essential. Unless you can’t be bothered dealing with a crap tripod. - LIGHTS key for cinematic looks, spend your money on this. Get two or three. You need it. They will never not be useful - Mic - spend your money on this you won’t regret it!!! On camera for versatility boom or something for set up - Laptop - get a good laptop stop dealing with lag.

Thank you Indy, how about Post-Production!!!!!
