Let's talk about the elephant in the room equipment.

00:03.540 --> 00:08.880
I know a lot of you are interested in equipment and that's why we've created this section to help you

00:08.880 --> 00:14.020
determine what equipment you should buy or use for your video production.

00:14.020 --> 00:19.650
It's one of the most popular requests we get from students what camera to buy what microphone to use.

00:19.710 --> 00:21.590
What type of lighting should they get.

00:21.820 --> 00:26.700
But we're going to be honest throughout this entire section and this course that making a great video

00:26.700 --> 00:31.020
doesn't come down to buying camera x y or z.

00:31.140 --> 00:34.350
Technology is changing all the time.

00:34.350 --> 00:40.740
New camera models are coming out every year so it's hard to make an all encompassing list of what specific

00:40.740 --> 00:42.510
camera we recommend.

00:42.510 --> 00:45.570
At the core you need a camera that can shoot video.

00:45.570 --> 00:51.060
Hopefully that camera can record audio as well and maybe you need an external microphone to record better

00:51.060 --> 00:51.780
audio.

00:52.020 --> 00:58.710
You need some type of lighting but this can come free from the sun and some editing equipment to allow

00:58.710 --> 01:04.290
you to put together your video and this can also be free in the next few lessons were going to be going

01:04.290 --> 01:11.160
through each thing individually talking about camera choices microphone options lighting and post-production

01:11.160 --> 01:14.310
applications that we use and recommend.

01:14.340 --> 01:18.750
So if you're really interested in equipment you want to know what we recommend.

01:18.750 --> 01:22.080
Continue with the rest of the lessons in this section.

01:22.080 --> 01:26.580
If you don't really care about the equipment and just want to get straight to the video making process

01:26.880 --> 01:28.710
