It will be dope if you can help me out on the film

Depends with what you want to achieve...

gear matters, I'm a professional Portrait and wedding photographer, smartphones are smart, but can't trigger a strobe, or speed-lights.

Not with STORYBLOCKS 😅

ofc it does

they wanna make professional stuff

Fancy seeing you here, Possum

"The best camera is the one you have with you" Not mfs with nokia soulja boy type quality

Gear doesn't matter but lenses of quality cost in the thousands

If you're good then you're good man. I've tried swapping tools with my art teacher, she gave me her expensive pencil colors and I gave her my cheap store-bought pencil. We drew the same thing and hers is just miles better than mine As my friend have said "if you can be good with bad tools, then you'll be amazing with good tools. If you can only be good with good tools then you're still not good enough"

Because it’s difficult to talk about. It’s non linear, subjective and abstract. Unlike gear and specs. That doesn’t mean no one talks about it though. Check out Tyler Mowery he’s pretty good

Naah, I feel like Creativity is indeed talked about

Creativity means nothing when you don't have the tools to exploit it.

And STORYTELLING.

@@milovarquiel yep, a person who has the creativity to make a house, but doesn't have a hammer. Useless

That's the point, understanding why

nah bro, film use 100k cameras for a reason, that quality of colors, depth and so on is essential to the film

@@Archonsx yeah like u can make great shit on a cell phone, but it’ll look better on bigger screens on top of better details etc if u use bigger sensors etc

Agreed

@@Grumpygrumpo Well, that’s subjective, too, because it’s all about the story you’re trying to tell. If you’re trying to tell a very intimate story that’s set in a single location- like a room- it’s pointless to set out to make it look like Lawrence of Arabia. It’s a disservice to your story. To put it another way, if you’re building a small cabin, you’re not going to bust out a 400-person crew with cranes and cement trucks and earth movers and steel girders. Conversely, you wouldn’t attempt to build a skyscraper with just a saw, a hammer, and a single box of nails.

BuT gEaR dOeSnT mAtTer Lmao, I'm more into photograph. Gear might not matter if you do stuff as a hobby. But today I was asked to do sometime and istg having the correct DID matter a lot because there are technical limitations (better noise sensitivity to get faster shutterspeeds, less buffering time, bigger apperture to achieve better results. All things I kinda needed today. I did tell the person who contact me that I had none of them tho)

What was your question to them exactly?

Underrated comment.

Not to mention the lenses, it's a beauty to have a variety of lenses were you reach the type of image that you want in terms of distances and diaphragm (depth of field), you can't have that luxury with Iphone

Totally agree! Thanks brother!

THIS! I just watched this video and felt like it was bogus, when truly story-especially if you want to capture realism in the classical sense of the word-matters most. Spectacle (which requires bigger rigs and more $) is cool and all, but seldom necessary to create iconic images and potent scenarios.

Not really. Most people dont have experience with 100k worth of cameras but the still know they dont need it. You think in a backwards fasion. Lets try everything out to know what i need and what i dont need. Instead of thinking of what you want to achieve and then see what you need to achieve it.

@@Yodd ofcourse if you are talking about highly expensive gears then everything wouldnt make sense. everyone knows you dont need a quantum computer to calculate 1+1. so lets not blow it out of proportions. did you know right from the start what light setup suite your needs? didnt you experiment first before finding out youre favorite lens? to you im the one thinking backwards, to me you are the one thinking backwards. so can we agree that neither you and i are wrong and just say that there are many approaches to solve a single problem? thanks ^_^

@@ViewportPlaythrough i actually didnt test a light set up that suits my needs. I knew a couple of ways to light people and used any light that was available to do it. I agree there are definitely more ways to solve a problem. But one way is cheap and the other one is expensive. My point is that 99% of people including me dont use the cellphone camera to its fullest potential let alone any mirrorless or dslr. For any social media including youtube and vimeo 4k resolution is overkill. Yet people want 8k and 6k cameras to crop in in post. At the end of the day content is king and gear really doesnt matter if you use everything to its full potential.

@@Yodd and you are losing my point while you try to squeeze your own point to me without listening to mine.... look bro, im trying to have a peaceful conversation here where we both benefit with each others opinion, without making one of us look disgraceful.. are we cool with that or do you wish to continue pushing your own opinion unto me and ultimately give you a trophy or something? 99% of the people? where did you even get that from? and who are you to say that? are you mind reader or something? full potential? how do you define full potential? social media? bold of you to assume that those 99% of people only use their gear for social media. ow sure, im the ignorant 1% right? who are you to tell anyone what they need or want? bold of you to assume too that i dont use my gear to their potential. again, define full potential. do i have to throw my gear on a septic tank for you to consider using them fully? content is king, true, but isnt it bold of you to assume that i dont think the same or that any other people than you think the same? 4k resolution is overkill, sure. but you are wise, im sure you could think of reasons why some people would smartly use 4k or should we assume that those people are not part of your 99% too? you did not test light set ups that would suit your needs? {slow clap} bravo. congrats man, you are a genius. im so sorry for being a lowly person that needs to learn from scratch oh almighty person who knows everything about lighting that s/he doesnt need to learn and experiment we cool now? can we get some peaceful conversation now without pushing each others ego or what not? or are you here to lecture me about that too?

@@Yodd peace men. i get your point, hope you get mine in the future. we clashed and might we shake hands. lets not push each others buttons anymore.. peace

Ask em all how much money they brought in last month, that'll shut em up.
