"professional work with budget gear". You are my sensei now!

100% agree, it's never about the gear it's all about the light. Saying it's about the gear is like saying a stove makes food delicious where in fact it does not. Great work Jason!

Omg that switch in the first 15 seconds was one of the best hooks I’ve seen 😄 thanks for this setup! I’d just ordered the Sigma 30mm so I’m so glad I came across your video!

I just bought this camera today (: can’t wait to post more content when it’s delivered! Thanks for this video

Such a great video. Straight to the point content, down to earth approach to budget tools. Love it!

Thanks Jason, you taught me so many things, I have a Sony A6000 and now I'm setting up a KZread studio and I was thinking about lighting, but from what I've seen, Godox is the best at this price.

Love it, A few of your videos helped me make the decision of getting a a6000 in 2022 December so basically 2023 and just wanted to thank you..

Incredibly helpful video, gonna mod up my sony a6000 now and get some good video. Cheers mate!

Very entertaining video thank you jason. keep up the good work

Really enjoyed your video so much! You really helped me out. Big thanks from Germany.

Dude! Thanks for the great advice. Very helpful. I have an a6000 that’s just collecting dust. Now I’m going to try to set mine up to do a video. Thanks for the inspiration. Hopefully you will do more on what settings are best. And if you have already done one I’ll probably be looking at it after typing this message!

Great video, very informative and presented in a way even I could understand....Thanks.

I've already got my answers in this video. specially Sony Alpha 6000 and the lens. Its a cheaper way to start the photography. Thank you again for all your help.

KEH camera is a great place to get used gear. They rate the gear into different tiers depending on the condition so you know how worn it is.

Great video. I'm a Panasonic user myself, but I've played with a few of the Sony cameras. I've seen some of the work produced by students using a Sony a6000 and to be quite honest, I was very impressed. Whilst I'm here, just want to throw out there to amyome getting started in film; get an a6000 or a Panasonic G80 or similar - learn to produce great content with it, stunning cinematics and short films or documentary films; Go out there and shoot the snot out of your kit, squeeze everything you can from it - then, when you eventually have the funds to buy the best the market has to offer - maybe a Panasonic GH6, S1H or or whatever -, you'll be able to utilise it to a far greater degree and blow people away with what you can produce. It makes no sense for someone just dipping their toe into cinematography, filmmaking in general or documentary filmaking to go straight out and pick up a Panasonic GH6 or an S1h. There is the argument that you can grow into the latest kit with bells and whistles, but I wouldn't take that approach; besides, you might get into this game and find you don't even enjoy it, then you've lumbered yourself with expensive kit that you now have to sell. Trust me on this. First learn your craft, then invest in an upgrade.

this is very helpful!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good tips, the only thing I'd recommend is if someone has an A6000 and they're wanting to start vlogging while this is a solid gear recommend list, it might be worthwhile to list a productive order of acquisition as most people pick up gear over time and not in one go. I'll happily throw my recommendations out and there and would encourage others to do so; 1) Camera w/lens/power/media 2) Audio - Rode SmartLav is a great starter lav, Rode VideoMic Go is a great little 3.5mm sub $100 shotgun mic. 3a) I'd suggest a couple cheap RGB lights (like from Viltrox) first, then the Godox 60W (which is a cracker light for the price). You can light initially with the small RGB's, just bring them in close. Then later go for the Godox and the move the smaller lights to catch light/hair light/background colour source etc. I've always found it smarter if you can plan to dual-use something, so when you retire its primary purpose you already have another way to use it in mind. 3b) Experiment or crawl through google for homemade lighting modifers, opaque shower curtains are a great source for starter diffusion. I've used baking paper over LED panels before and black bedsheets to block and cut light, stop bounce etc. 4) Tripod - you can get them dirt cheaper for talking head stuff. Zomei do cheap ones with a cast metal ballhead. Very nice for sub $50. 5) External monitor - you can't use natural light if you can't see changing lighting conditions. Feelworld make solid 5" monitors for low cost.

6:53 Thanks for your work on this, I am shopping settings of this camera for a client. Just a quick note on ISO ranges. Lowering your ISO to the lowest setting is NOT and should not be a rule of thumb. In this case for the a6000 you can get away with it. However there is a reason most cameras have a "Native ISO", meaning a ISO range that is recommended to get the highest quality image and most Dynamic Range possible. Most cameras its 800, some 400. So going lower than the Native ISO can actually be a negative thing. Just something to consider for future.

How do you get such amazing colors from a6000?

Maybe you can create a video about that? How you film and edit video for a6000 camera.

The A6000 can only shoot at 1080 . And your video is in 4k. How is this possible? The light on the background is beautiful, the shape of your body is perfect. But the shape of the face is slightly disfigured by the light of the softbox. Try using matting wipes before the video to reduce the effect of glare on the face
