WEBVTT 00:00.290 --> 00:04.070 So now we're going to talk about a couple of cameras that we recommend and this really goes from smart 00:04.070 --> 00:05.990 phones to more professional cameras. 00:06.150 --> 00:11.070 But at the end of the day again you know these are just recommendations you can make great videos with 00:11.160 --> 00:12.360 any type of camera. 00:12.360 --> 00:15.030 So first and foremost we recommend a smartphone. 00:15.030 --> 00:20.400 This is something that most people have or maybe it makes more sense to purchase because you can use 00:20.400 --> 00:22.820 it both as a phone but also as a camera. 00:22.950 --> 00:28.830 And it's really pretty incredible what phones can do these days so if you're looking for a more economical 00:28.830 --> 00:32.850 choice maybe look at the phone to start off with for the people that are going to be shooting in their 00:32.850 --> 00:38.450 homes or off of their computer or laptop while the camera inside your computers does work. 00:38.460 --> 00:43.770 Well we recommend getting an external camera that just clips onto the top of it or you can place in 00:43.770 --> 00:44.970 different positions. 00:44.970 --> 00:49.420 For this we recommend the Logitech see 920 or see 09:30. 00:49.590 --> 00:55.180 So the next level in video making is really getting a mere lists or DSL or camera. 00:55.320 --> 01:01.680 So on the less expensive side of things to really get started we recommend things like the Canon 70 01:01.680 --> 01:02.560 or 60. 01:02.560 --> 01:05.140 Also the Sony thousands an incredible camera. 01:05.280 --> 01:07.080 And those are all $400000. 01:07.080 --> 01:09.160 So really a great starting point. 01:09.360 --> 01:13.340 Alongside this you will need to get lenses and a couple of accessories so it does add up. 01:13.350 --> 01:16.670 But this is really to take your video making to the next level. 01:16.680 --> 01:22.500 Beyond that we recommend cameras like the sonis of an S 2 or one which is a little bit cheaper now. 01:22.530 --> 01:27.260 The G.H. for from Panasonic or the canon 70 Martu or mark one there. 01:27.340 --> 01:30.030 They're all great cameras that can shoot HD footage. 01:30.030 --> 01:35.640 And while sometimes you might want for K and I get that that's the thing I really think starting off 01:35.650 --> 01:41.040 10:30 is enough and you don't need to go spend that extra thousand dollars just to do it for good footage. 01:41.130 --> 01:46.350 And if you really want to get into the pro-level and start having a video production company maybe you 01:46.350 --> 01:50.330 go through this class and you start getting clients and really building yourself out. 01:50.430 --> 01:56.060 I'd recommend looking at more pro-level cameras that don't have a car cost you an arm and a leg. 01:56.070 --> 01:57.770 They can see 100. 01:57.900 --> 02:05.820 The Sony EF-S five they're good more economical cameras that allow you to to shoot professionally and 02:05.820 --> 02:08.090 really move to that next level of video making. 02:08.190 --> 02:13.890 So a lot of the time people ask you know which branch they pick or which camera is better than the other 02:13.890 --> 02:14.720 one. 02:14.820 --> 02:19.890 And well I have my personal preference I think every video maker does have their own preference as to 02:19.890 --> 02:21.170 which one they like most. 02:21.180 --> 02:26.430 The most important thing is to pick a path and stay with that if you're going to do with a Canon camera 02:26.640 --> 02:30.230 you're going to be with Canon lenses and thus you're going down that path. 02:30.240 --> 02:34.460 If you start shooting with another camera you need to think of the accessories you're going to be buying 02:34.470 --> 02:42.840 because to go from a Sony to a canon or a canon to a Nikon it adds up when you go and sell everything 02:42.840 --> 02:45.120 off and then have to buy all new accessories. 02:45.180 --> 02:47.060 Also know that there's benefits to different ones. 02:47.060 --> 02:53.290 Sony currently is leading the way in low light sensitivity whereas things like Canon you have so many 02:53.290 --> 02:55.890 lens options and much more economical price point. 02:55.890 --> 03:00.340 So there's pros and cons to every camera and you just have to decide what's right for you. 03:00.660 --> 03:06.420 So once you've decided the camera a really important step is picking lenses this is ultimately going 03:06.420 --> 03:09.140 to affect your image quality quite a bit. 03:09.240 --> 03:14.640 And it's something that I've always said you know you can pick a cheaper camera but invest in lenses 03:14.670 --> 03:17.360 because these things will last you a much longer time. 03:17.490 --> 03:24.660 Starting off most cameras most Lars or Marla's cameras will come with a kit lens and this is a very 03:24.660 --> 03:29.160 generic zoom lens that is typically a little bit slower. 03:29.210 --> 03:34.950 You know I'm not going to give you the really professional look but it's a fully functional lens for 03:34.950 --> 03:36.480 most professionals. 03:36.480 --> 03:45.210 The 24 to 70 F 2.8 zoom lens is the gold standard it's medium range you can get a wider shot you can 03:45.210 --> 03:46.260 get a tighter shot. 03:46.290 --> 03:51.430 It's just a good standard lens and Canon Nikon to Keena Fuji. 03:51.450 --> 03:54.230 Everyone has their 24 to 70. 03:54.240 --> 04:01.140 It's very very basic lens a good kit lens from 70 to 200 range more telephoto is another important lens 04:01.140 --> 04:05.780 to get and that allows you to be farther away and zoom in on someone and wall zooms are great. 04:05.820 --> 04:13.400 And whether it's the kit zoom or a more expensive zoom lens the quality can be diminished in a zoom 04:13.400 --> 04:13.620 lens. 04:13.620 --> 04:18.980 So really you should be looking at prime lenses as well and buy prime lens I mean fixed focal length 04:18.990 --> 04:20.700 meaning you can't zoom in or out. 04:20.700 --> 04:27.110 It's one set length so it's either a wide lens it's a telephoto lens but you're not zooming in or out. 04:27.270 --> 04:30.480 The glass of these lenses will be much better for the price point though. 04:30.480 --> 04:36.870 So you can get a really professional look to your videos by using them is a little frustrating because 04:36.870 --> 04:42.950 you can't just zoom in or out more easily but you can get a really great looking shot as an example. 04:42.960 --> 04:48.570 The 50 the nifty 50 is really a favorite of filmmakers because you're able to get it for such a cheap 04:48.570 --> 04:55.800 price and whether it's Sony or Nikon and Canon or whatever manufacturer they all make this cheap 50 04:55.800 --> 05:01.570 millimeter prime lens and it's really a great way to get professional looking use professional portraits 05:01.660 --> 05:04.630 those are some of our basic lens recommendations. 05:04.630 --> 05:08.940 Again we don't want to get specific on which manufacturer to go with. 05:08.980 --> 05:14.470 I think if you look at the price you'll be able to know which lenses better quality or performs better 05:14.470 --> 05:15.040 in low light. 05:15.040 --> 05:17.800 It's fairly obvious when it comes to lenses. 05:17.800 --> 05:24.580 So while this all might seem like a lot of you know confusing jargon from a film maker what it comes 05:24.580 --> 05:29.330 down to is you're going to probably buy a camera and I'll probably have a kit lens. 05:29.350 --> 05:32.140 So it's going to be 18 to 55. 05:32.140 --> 05:37.710 More than likely and it'll be an F 2.5 to 5 6 and that's a standard lens. 05:37.720 --> 05:44.950 But as you get into more video making and if you've purchased a camera SLR Emilia's camera we recommend 05:44.950 --> 05:48.100 looking into prime lenses looking into nicer zoom lenses. 05:48.100 --> 05:51.920 And again it comes back to what type of video are you making.
