►WE USE THIS CAMERA (B&H) - buff.ly/3rWqrra
►WE USE THIS SOUND RECORDER (AMAZON) - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/425k5rG
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv

Can you relate to feeling like your your latest movie is going to make or break your career?

[@vancomposer]

Yes, because in a few years, I will have been in the industry for 30 years. Even though I've had periods where things were decent or even great, I was able to support myself, which I see as a tremendous achievement. I managed to save for times without income, which always returned. However, I must face the reality that I will be poor by the time I retire due to only being able to pay low amounts into social security. So, I must consider leaving this industry entirely to work in something more stable for at least another decade, if not longer. I always encourage young people to follow their dreams and stay the course, but everything eventually has a limit.

I am starting to enter the film realm as a teenager and felt that the 2 short films I did this year would determine if I would venture into the film industry. As it turns out I feel I am committed to the film industry as a short film of mine, OBSERVATIONS, was accepted into the MKE International Short Film Festival.
