I started my career on a T3i. Great camera and EF lenses are forever. T3i + cheap Canon 50mm lens shoots gorgeous video.
The course has been "HUGE DISCOUNT ONLY $97 FOR EXPERIENCE WORTH THOUSANDS" for well over a year now, I struggle to believe it was ever sold for $800
I bought it for $350 ab 3 years ago. Well worth the money.
@@SimonDunnProductions say potato if you're not a bot
@@willwoolf potato if you're not a bot :) I shoot weddings professionally, and I learned many of the skills necessary to do that from Emmaus Vanderbilt and Tomorrows Filmmakers. I get nothing from you purchasing their course. Just trying to help if you're serious about filmmaking.
@@SimonDunnProductions that's really surprising to me. I'm glad the course provided that opportunity for you, you've changed my mind a bit
It’s a Great course man! $97 is nothing compared to an actual film school or other online courses.
I don't know what's crazier. The fact that I decided to hard commit learning video editing and simply stumbled on this by YT alg. or the fact that I'm about to really ball on a budget with all this wealth of knowledge. Thank you very much for this. 🙏🙏
Great video! I'd go for the t5i personally, you can find em for $150-200 all day long and Magic Lantern Crop Mood makes em a RAW shooting monster, but even without ML the updated sensor and processor make a world of difference IMO.
Free DaVinci is by far the best free editor in my experience. For someone on a low budget it's a no brainer.
Davinci all the way and the studio is way cheaper than premiere pro.
Vsdc is 20$ and u can use hardware acceleration. Divinchi is a little more professional as far as color grading.
If you're someone who loves adobe software just pay monthly
You guys are so cool! I love you're content!!! and the fact that you're Christin filmmakers is just awesome!!! I just finished collecting all my gear!!! thanks for all the the tutorials you guys have made!!!
This channel is honestly a goldmine. Every video I have to stop to take notes!
Got myself a Canon SL3 and DJI Mini a couple years ago mainly for car meets I'd go to. I barely used the stuff but not that I'm getting back into filmmaking and photography I'm glad I have them. Beginner stuff but better than nothing ig. I also use my S22 ultra and got a Zhiyun Smooth 5S for it to get some good videos using my phone as well! I'm one that like to buy cool gear and gadgets without really LEARNING how best to use them so they end up collecting dust but after watching a TON of your videos, it makes me really want to dust them off and get to filming and learning!
To be honest This is the most clear cut video I have seen ever. I started from 1200d manual focus and 50mm 1.8 lens then sl2 with 50mm 1.8 lens and usb microphone. Next update will be a Gimbal to shoot B roll. Love you tomorrows filmmakers
I have saved up money last year, and did so for no specific purpose, i just knew i will use it good... Now i have about 2k coins and figured out i always liked filming stuff, family videos, school trips..i was always holding the camera up and loved doing it. I think imma give it a try. This is truly a perfect video, shows the "cheap" and then the upgrade too, throws in the names and brands we need to know, the essential gear.. its all there. Thanks a lot!
Check out my most recent comment for cheaper stuff. as well as DSLR Video Shooter's video on camera gear under $20.
Definitely the best video on the ones I have seen online; so detailed and well recommendations; thank you
I bought a 10-dollar tripod off Amazon and it honestly does the job. If I want to get smooth motion, I use it as a gimbal or use a smooth motion preset in Premiere Pro and animate the movement.
Yeah no i bought one of these once and i have never regret anything more in life, if the only thing you shoot is stills with no movement whatsoever then MAYBE it's fine but the moment you decide to pan or tilt it's game over
@@Rezurcblack i had one like that for still youtube videos but it was a pain
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
this is awesome, thanks for putting this list together
Everything Said In This Video Is So Correct Except For Video Editor Go For Da Vinci Resolve Its The Best In My Opinion But As Long As You Can Edit In Any Software That Works For You Then Its Good.
Why Davinci?
Excellent video! Very informative. Great tips for beginner filmmakers.
Thank so much now I know all the equipments that I need just in one video. You amazing bro.
I'm commenting so that KZhead's algorithm promote this very insightful video for beginners.
Great overview and a phantastic guide, thank you for sharing!
thank you so much for this video, it was VERY helpful
Nikon D3300 being a very low budget camera which obviously is discontinued way back... But it have the 1080p 60fps so it's good enough for starters And I think ND Filter and Steady cam along with extra battery with a 50mm 1.8 is better of a deal for starters
Everyone loves a beginners guide 👍 we love rode mics. Great vid
Great video. Relaxed presenter giving great information. Thanks!
Thank You, such a great informational video
One of the best videos I’ve watched for someone considering what to buy on a low budget. For a while I’ve enjoyed taking photographs as a hobby and have decided I would like to try out some videography. I own a Canon 550D (aka Rebel T2i if sold in the Americas) along with some Canon lenses (Canon 50mm 1:8, Tamron 18mm - 270mm and a Canon zoom 10mm-18mm) so very encouraging to listen to your advice on getting started with what you have. I will be looking to source some of the other equipment detailed and will take a look at the courses you are offering once I’m set up. I’m lucky enough to own a iPad Pro and wondered what your views are on purchasing Luma Pro as a video editor app as a value for money one time purchase at £29.99?
Thankyou, knowledge must appreciated!
Signing up today.....love the teachings
Very detailed video!! Thank you!
I would LOVE this course...but I bought two lights and a gimbal before. Next payday, you're like top 5 purchase considerations.
Thanks for this excellent video. While talking about support, would you be able to recommend a video monopod with a fluid and/or drag system instead of just the tripod? I wanted to avoid the tripod initially, considering I move around a lot, sometimes.
Man thanx I've been looking for a cheap camera since I'm working at roughly £200. I've been thinking of doing this as a hobby for a while and now I can get started Agai thanx
One thing I noticed here is that lots of people say "go for Da Vinci Resolve". I personally chose adobe cloud due to the fact that I'm also a photographer and I use photoshop, lightroom, etc. So 20€/month is not that big of a deal for the adobe cloud considering you get a lot of programs. If you are ACTUALLY using them, I would say it's definitely worth the money. AS WELL as tomorrow's Filmmaker's school. Not only you save a shitton of money just from their discounts, but you get a crazy amount of knowledge. Absolutely worth it.
Hello, is there a second part to this video? Like what would be the best gear updates for our filmmaking journey? Thank you
Finally, i found it, thanks bro!
finnally a video that doesnt confuse you and is actuallly a budget
Omg... I learned more about gear in your 17 minute video then I have in the last couple years of starting my New Filmaker Journey.... WOW... I May honestly buy your Course... Eventually 😆
Love you from India...such wonderfull topic
I'm not a beginner filmmaker anymore, I actually make my living by creating videos but still am a sucker for such videos...good thing I am cause I guess am gonna buy the course for the Adobe deal!💯
this course is amazing
Great video! Justus, What do think about the original Canon Eos M and it's potential upgrades from magic lantern? Do you think it's suitable for a beginners? I'll be totally grateful if you replied this. Thanks!
ignore the editor part , multiple experienced editor switched from pr pro to davinci resolve and by good reasons , also you get the studio versions with all you need for 250 dollars , 1 purchase
just bought the course! hope it will help me
Very helpful video, thank you 🙏 .
Great video but you forgot to mention ND and polarizing filters. I came looking for that but sadly wasn't mentioned anywhere.
kzhead.info/sun/e7iOmq6nhICNpKc/bejne.html 19:28 they explain it here
If you have lit bit big budget so I'll recommend Sony A6400 and it's amazing for low light and it's photography and videography is whole another level💯💞😎
watching from Mozambique, you are the best🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Wow! Thank you so much!
I can’t wait to start this course next week. I took to videography a year & a half ago & since then I’ve been investing in my equipment through saving & sacrifices lol. Nothing comes easy for me. I now have the canon M50. Canon sigma 16mm 1.4. Dji om4 mobile gimbal. Cried when I got my MacBook Air with premier pro. Awaiting a pro when I can afford it but have to make do for atleast a year. I ordered my Ronin RSC2 gimbal & it’s coming this weekend. I need a zoom lense. Any recommendations? I’m so grateful to even have this amount of gear right now & literally treasure them all because they mean so much to me.
Heyy, congrats! How's the gimbal? I just got my Romin SC a couple weeks ago
@@DESHIY hey, I haven’t balanced it yet. Is it easy? I haven’t had time to watch videos to help me out. If you have any you recommend, let me know.
@@Pocamatic_productions lol, I almost cried the first night I got mine. Spent hours tryna figure out the balance, watching KZhead videos and all. I eventually had to switch my main lens for a smaller one and it worked fine. It was still disappointing because my main lens is within the weight limit
@@DESHIY oh gosh. I’m not looking forward to it lol
I would surely be joining your course sir when i think i am ready .
Are you ready?
Hi this is vinoth, I m following and watching your all videos, thats all are very usefull, thank you somuch..... 🤝
Thank u very much. U showed me the way
this helped so much like really
Amazing Place to learn... Want full course...
If you aren't considering Fujifilm for entry-level video, you're missing out. I love my X-T30. Though now I would recommend the X-S10 for video.
I bought an X-S10 recently as my first camera and I think it's amazing, however the autofocus hunts constantly and I'm still figuring out how to have consistent focus. I think if I start to understand manual focus more, it will mostly fix the issue.
@@jules5187 It could also be the lens. some older or cheaper Fuji lenses do struggle with autofocus. also, make sure your camera and lenses have all their firmware updates. Personally, I only use autofocus for some video or fast/unpredictable subjects. Experimenting with the many autofocus settings helps too. Pal2Tech here on YT has many helpful tutorials.
@@bottledwaterprod I'm fully updated and have the kit 18-55. It's not terrible with the right settings, but it's still not the most reliable. Thanks for the advice, I'll check out that KZheadr!
You don't need film school, just watch good movies for the things you should do and bad films for the things not to do.
Can you suggest one of Good movies?
Great video.
Brilliant video! I'm just starting out to do travel photography and video clips for online news/magazines. I've got a Canon 7D with a Tamron lens. Is it good enough to start out with? Or, is it too outdated now? Thank you!
On Audio: I'm currently trying to get rid of my Zoom H4N pro and Rode NTG2. Don't get this combo and, is nothing else, I really wouldn't recommend the NTG2. It requires a ton of gain to get useful levels out of and the H4N pro dosent deliver Its a good field recorder in other respects like its set of stereo mics.You might be able to get away with the NTG2 and a trong preamp or the H4n pro with a super sensitive mic but Id save yourself the trouble and skip over both. If you don't have either of these I'd strongly suggest researching the sensitivity of your mic and the strngth of the preamp before you buy them in conjunction.
Very insightful
May the Lord bless your business. Thanks for giving these videos freely.
Camera and light & audio i was confuse but Thanks for that information
This course is totally worth it. I bought the course before it went on sale and I got my money’s worth. Time saving courses from pros with real life experience.
Thanks for the this video
Thank you so much for this video, i'm a film studio owner in Nigeria
Great overview and helpful for those starting out. Your courses are great! Only one question I have is when trying to keep costs low why did you suggest Premiere? I used Premiere Pro for over 15 years, going through all their updates (as well as monthly subscription costs going up) and increasingly computer-intensive processing only to realize there was a better alternative, and it is free. I switched to DaVinci Resolve about three years ago and in my opinion a much better editor. And did I say free? I would suggest considering Resolve as an alternative. Again, great help in your video and Premiere is a great choice too.
I'll second that! DaVinci resolve is fantastic, to work in. The free version is missing about 5% of the features that come with the paid version. It will not hurt you to give it a try. :)
that's what I was thinking. Davinci Resolve is used by pros and FREE. Why would he recommend Premiere that costs beginners a lot of money
He did say in the video that it’s “the best editor we have used so far”. He later went on to suggest FCPX which is a one time payment thing and DaVinci Resolve, both the paid and free version. I’ve been using Premiere for about 5 years now and I recently started dabbling in DaVinci Resolve. It’s been an uphill battle for me as I’m still not used to the interface.
@@blaklytstudios yes, that is a fair point. but if they were recommending a list of what beginners should be using, shouldn't they give a balanced and objective recommendation instead of what "they have used"? My point is, premiere pro costs a lot of money to some... and even without debating which app is best, paying for a subscription can be a huge commitment for beginners that are clueless about the potential of the app. I'd rather just use an iMovie and try to master it first than paying for something I don't even know what I'm getting into... I'm saying this because I was a beginner a few years back and I never get premiere because of the price wall itself. Later found out there's another app called DR17, ended up learning editing from only using the cutting tool to using fusion and color grading. Only now that I'm actually considering paying for the pro version :) I hope it makes sense...
Thank you
Question: do you have any recommendations lenses for the Sony ZV-E10? I plan on falling these steps to the “T” just need lens choices.
Thank you for laments terms
Hi guys. I have a Nikon D750. Is this also a good one to shoot weddingfilms? I only have used is as a camera for photography, but I don't see many things about shooting videofilms with it. Hope to hear from you.
I started with canon 200D back in 2019. I recommend this camera to all beginners and intermediates who are on a budget.
Which lens you're using?
@@shazibmazumder7980 I no longer have it. But it came with a kitlens (18-55mm is stm) then i purchased 50mm 1.8 stm and 10-18mm for landscapes. I also mounted a sigma 17-50 2.8 and sigma 18-35mm 1.8
Which lens would be good for this camera? Thinking of buying one.
@@shazibmazumder7980 It depends on your preferences. But i suggest you to buy full frame ones if you are going to upgrade to a full frame camera in nearby future. You can start with a 50mm 1.8 and a kitlens. After some time you can upgrade to a lens like 16-35mm 2.8 and so on. But if you have a budget now. Get a sigma 17-50 2.8(Not full frame) and a 50mm 1.8 (full frame)
is it good for videos,im just getting started on videoshoots(but my editing is good tho)
hi sir thanks for the video . please u dint mention about the computer to use for editing. thanks
I started back in the day of tape. and even before that had a Amiga in our home and read the monthly rags, as a child, about how the Amiga was being used in broadcast video work... But sunk my teeth in in the era of Digital tape. SD video on Hi8 and firewire area.. As the industry and tech progressed, Now I'm ready to jump from 4k to 6k acquisition.. But yes, today march of 2023 everything stated here is correct. You literally can start with a decode old used DSLR or mirrorless camera that's a couple hundred bucks. The three things to nail down are getting footage, getting good audio, and controlled lighting. And finally and not less important than the other 3, Editing and "fixing" footage.. color correcting, composting etc. Don't worry about 4k, 6k etc , The broadcast tv standard is 1080i still. Most of it is knowing how to get the result your client wants and understanding what the client wants. You may like that film look etc.. but they may be looking for the ultrasharp video "everything in focus" "gopro/cellphone/ look.. learn how to do it all
I wish so much to have found this video 2 yearsd ago when i was looking for this exact thing. I would have gotten a T2i or a ESO M50.
Hi Justus, the links are opening. But couldn't find anything in link. Please could you check. Thank you for sharing these great contents in an affordable manner.
For how long is the Premiere Pro discount valid after purchasing this course? Like can I get the Premiere Pro licence a year or two after I sign up for the course, once I know I need or can afford a paid licence?
thanks for the video dose the rebel t2i Netflix approvrd? can u do another one witha budget of at least 5k usd for netflix films and etc
What you think about the canon 80d? Should I work with it or upgrade
Can I films videos on the first camera that you mention or is it purely for photography? Thanks!
Great content...
Hey man, I have to ask you, will you please let us know about the editing pc for Filmmaking?
Please upload a guide for Final Cut Pro!
well explained
I'm Using A Nikon Z30 & Its A Pretty Good Camera For Videography Since Its My First Camera Its Real Close To Me & Honestly It Got Some Great Features.
Bhai isse youtube and vlogging bhi ho skti hai kya?
@@punisherr498 JI Bilkul
thx for the content,....
5:24 why don't you mention the Panasonic lumix camera? It has 4k recording. Its also a low budget camera right? Any specific reason? 🤔
See my style..I see is minimal photo if not video shop or editing the film. Is try to make it almost feel like you're in the film as a continuation shot not this jump to a random location unless you need to be. And the reason I say that is because when I look at movies today there's a lot of jump cuts to certain situations but it's more than what it used to be. I want to be making film that starts off let's say from the bedroom and it slowly goes into the car then from the car it is either a potential ride to their location. That I feel is more my style.
Hi guys, could you please tell me which Canon cameras can shoot 4k video with DPAF? Can I find a full list of such Canon cameras somewhere? Thanks in advance!
God bless you guys
Epic Name! Justice.
Until when the 97$ offers is available? Thank you
What is your suggestion on best camera for dental photography on budget (around 1000 dollars )
Is the Panasonic Lumix G7 mirrorless also good for cinematic shooting?
Hey thank you for the Video, where I can see the % for Adobe in the Basket I just have the subscription from Adobe
How about the Canon EOS R? Is that worth purchasing?
Hi. Just want to know, for the editing part, a laptop or desktop would be better for beginners and which brand would you recommended? Thanks
Hello, i'm not a professional, but from my experiment, editing work need a powerful cpu, so you have to get something new if you have a high budget (intel/ryzen), and a minimum of 16 gb of ram, and ssd storage, and a gpu. For a laptop, i used to edit on laptop with filmora software, it was so easy and i used to it, it worked very well, laptop is comfortable and you can take it out with not like the desktop. If you're a beginner the recommended cores of cpu are 6 cores and 12 threads, you still can buy a used setup with i9-9900k with 16gb of rams and a gpu(1660/2070...) For a lowered price if you don't have enough budget.
@@shamimedia4019 Thanks. That was helpful.
If you have a budget. Go for Asus gaming laptops (Asus G14 / G15 and more) or m1 macbooks. Otherwise build build your own PC
A MacBook with the m1 chip is honestly all you need I have one myself and it runs through Adobe like buttteeerrrr and they are so much cheaper now compared to other laptops or desktops it’s definitely worth the buy
@@allenmonge7922 Mr.Allen, i appreciate it a lot, actually i don't have any experiment with apple devices and softwares from before , i can't help with it.
thanks
No hate. I love the fact your going over the basic essentials for when you start filmmaking yet the shutter speed in the video is too high 😬. Rate the camera selection tho not great for freelance but still good choice for story telling.
I'd say for starter to get proper light gear and audio. Anybody can start with a smartphone.
Canon EOS750D is still GOAT entry level DSLR.
and something to put it all in :)
i was thinking to start with a Panasonic G9 I (not the new II) what do you think guys?
