    Great input here. A larger audience will stay for a good story and a smaller one will be impressed with how well it was shot. Do both and you're that much ahead.

    The 6KP is such a tank man and you know how to get the most out of it! Also, extra points for the sweet sweet look from the FD lenses. Keep these vids rolling out man they're so refreshing. Much love from Tennessee 🙏🏼

    Well said and nicely put together. I have often believed and said that story is a given. Getting access for a doc isnt easy but once done its done. Likewise a script costs nothing to rewrite and perfect but gear is a resource that often is restricted because of budget and it absolutely matters. Shoot on an alexa with cine lenses of your choice super speeds or cookes and then say that gear doesn’t matter. Or use a dolly or full track. Cranes or robotic arms. Gear absolutely matters. It is rare as independents that budgets are not restricted and it’s amazing how much money can be burned on shoots that are inherently expensive eg lights at night genies location costs and have a large cast or crew. Food and transport alone can really add up. That said there are few cameras so affordable as the bmpcc6k that gives such instant results to elevate a scene when budgets are so tight. Excellent work and particularly the studio top down shot. High angle was very nice and it’s exactly the kind if value added shot that can really elevate a production. Easy to not bother but makes all the difference. Well done and thx for sharing the work.

    I’m saving for a camera now. I feel like I’ve been saving for years. I hope soon I can just do the things I want. Seeing other following their passion is very inspiring. What’s your documentary about? It looks like you shot it more like a film. Loving the look.

    Totally agree with everything you said about gear at beginning of video. What Pro Mist filter did you use in your documentary? What brand and strength? Als, That looks like a Matthews Junior boom not a Manfrotto.I have one. Did it have a 25 pound weight on the end? I took mine off and use shot bags as it is easier to manage for what I do.

    • @timothy_films
