That’s amazing man! So happy to have you around the channel

Always happy to help out!

Hey there! I did one about a year ago and not much has changed since then (it’s called “my camera gear and settings for cinematic sports videos” I believe) so check that one out. I’ll probably make an updated video sometime around the new year.

@@petersarellas thank you 🙏🏽 boutta watch that one

It’s definitely tough getting those first couple paying clients starting out! Focus on making the best work you can rather than making money from it if you can, and over time as your work improves you’ll find it becomes easier to get hired by the organizations that you want to work for.

I’m excited to share!!

Definitely agree that a 24-70 or something in that range is key. Like you said, a lens that can zoom out to the wider end should probably be among your first purchases because of how versatile it can be.

Thank you for this. 24-70mm will get the job done for shooting videos of the homies at LA fitness

Hey Drew, you’re correct that I don’t use a side handle. I’ve used them before and really disliked the side handles that are extended away from the camera body because I feel like I have less control of the camera with those ones. If I’m going to use a side handle I’d prefer one of the wooden ones that attaches directly onto your camera cage with no bars extending it away so that you can hold the camera as tight as possible. Hope This helps and best of luck with your build!

Usually handheld unless I’m using a really long lens

Currently I’m backing up to those big clunky 8TB western digital drives. I really should get a NAS system but honestly just haven’t pulled the trigger yet

Hey Nate, short answer is yes as long as you’re using a zoom lens and also have the option to get wider as required.

@@petersarellas The lens I’m looking to use is the 18-130 lens that comes with the Sony A6400. Thanks for the quick reply!

Continuous AF w zone focus mode

@@petersarellas thanks so much bro, appreciate all the educational videos your putting out 👏👊🙌

That really depends on what you’re filming and how much money you’re looking to spend on a lens but if you could give me a bit more detail then I can give you an opinion.

@@petersarellas well I’m looking to record my high schools basketball games

@@budsterr the Sony 18-105mm f4 is probably a good place to start for the reasons that I listed in this video, and if you have the budget for it you could also consider bumping up to a Tamron 28-75 2.8 (this is the one that I use) or Sony GM 24-70mm 2.8.

@@petersarellas Is the Sony 70-200 F2.8 too much for elementary through high school basketball?

In time! It’s filmed, just gotta get the edit together.

Couldn’t tell you unfortunately but that’s brutal
