People can work with lower quality video, people can’t stand low quality audio. Look, you can dedicate every waking hour of your life studying and mimicking Roger Deakins or Christopher Doyle’s work — your audience will still click out of your video faster than you can yell “speeding!” if you have horrible audio. I’m presuming you’ve read our post on, YouTubers Reveal EXACTLY How Much…
“How on earth am I supposed to price my real estate videography?” It’s a common question we receive and today we’re going in-depth on real estate video pricing, and exactly how much you should charge whether you’re a beginner, or an advanced videographer. We’re naturally drawn to motion and visuals. For the most part, humans also respond better to auditory stimuli than text when retaining…
There has been no better time to become a real estate videographer and let me tell you why. Recent marketing statistics tell us that listings that make use of professional videos get 403% more inquiries than the competition while attracting 200-300% more traffic. And with stricter guidelines on open houses, real estate videos are quickly becoming the next best thing, besides having to physically visit…
My first portrait lens was the Canon FD 50mm f1.4 SSC. Why? Because I had nothing else. I started photography in 2009 with the Panasonic GF1, the beginning for the Micro Four Thirds (m43) system. A system that had maybe 10 native lenses at the time… and none of them were affordable enough for a broke college student. Note that I’ll be making a lot…

So with the vast array of lenses available for your camera, how do you exactly know which ones should you get for your videography needs? We’ve previously covered the Best Value Legacy Lenses you can adapt to your Panasonic camera and if you’re a videographer on…
Renting camera gear before committing to a purchase is always a good idea. This way, would-be buyers can take a piece of equipment out on a test run, for cheap, and see if it’s something they’d want to invest on. Independent filmmakers also often rent high-end cinema cameras and lenses they don’t have in their fleet for projects that require a higher production value. Same…
Advances in tech often pave the way for physically smaller devices. Moore’s Law states that transistors in an integrated chip get smaller periodically, meaning we can theoretically pack more transistors that are both more efficient and powerful than their predecessors in a comparatively sized chip as time goes on. This affects all things electronics, and even more so in digital cameras. The first attempts at…
