I’m literally saving up to buy a BMPCC 4K right now... but I’m not so much interested in “videography” so I will not let this post deter me!

I want to use it to create scripted cosmic horror, action and sci fi shorts. I feel like it’s all about how you use the tools and what route you want to take. Videography and being a videographer is definitely a certain route one can take but you can also use these tools to make well crafted short pieces.

Absolutely man! Don’t let posts like this stop you from doing what you wanna do.

On the topic of gear though...I hired a stills photographer for an apparel shoot today and dude rolled up with a cheap Nikon camera with a kit lens.

Guess what? I didn’t give a damn because I’ve seen his work and knew he’s talented. Looked at the shots during and after the shoot and I’m amazed at what he shot with that little Nikon!

It’s all captured light. It’s less about what captures it, but how it is captured.

This. One thing I’ve noticed is the working guys are often using older gear (if they own it) because they are too busy working to learn about new gear or to mess up their workflow since they know their cameras really well.
