One thing I'm getting into the habit of doing as a beginner creator, is looking back at my previous work and actually jotting down things that I can improve on. That way, when you're making your next video, you won't commit the same mistake twice!
I agree with what you said. Occasionally there are cheaper alternatives that will do just fine but only if it’s something you’re not expecting to use often (like a just in case piece)! I also strongly recommend learning your camera; these modern mirrorless cameras have so many tricks up their sleeves but if you don’t practice or remind yourself which function button you assigned it to then it will really mess up your flow when you wanna use that trick (on a shoot) but you can’t remember where it’s at 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Don't be quick to jump around gear. Get one camera, one lens, and learn it like the back of your hand before you go off trying to buy new, cooler gear. Solid video Ryan, I appreciate you!
100% with that first one, worst thing about buying cheap gear is when you really how crap it really is, you can rarely return or sell it, so you just end up with junk you can’t use and have to buy the better one anyway
How I got over this was to stop looking up gear I saw other people using but actually start buying gear based on my problems when i’m shooting, eg I was shooting a lot of stuff in day light and couldn’t see my LCD on the camera, so I then got a monitor
Great points, brother. I remember buying a 1DXMkii last January because I thought i was ready but quickly realized it was way above my weight class and had to take a step back to master the basics first. I think when we see others using great gear, we think it’s going to make us better when sometimes, we have to have the basics down to even benefit from that kind of gear in the first place.
Definitely would say not knowing about aperture , buying a cheap monopod without feet, and lack of efficient preproduction were 3 mistakes from the early days!
Buy good gear used for cheap! That's the way I do it currently since I'm not ballin. But make sure you get to test the stuff before you hand over the cash or make sure the seller has a reliable reputation
I appreciate this Ryan! I saw a video a few weeks ago that you posted about the 90D. You actually convinced me to go for it and I just posted my second video today! Still learning and trying to grow my knowledge as a content creator. Thanks for these tips!
Dope vid... The only thing is that 17-40mm has no stabilization, i cant see myself vlogging with that. I rather pull up with that RF 24-105mm f4. I feel like that 17-40mm is pefect for small apartments like I live in, nice locked on shots.
i know you've done lighting videos in the past but can we get an in-depth lighting tutorial for beginners who might not have lights or very few, personally i run 2 440 led panel lights with a softbox, have the younguo 360 led stick and a couple small on camera led panels. Been struggling with coming up with creative ideas for lighting, especially when shooting outdoors at night
Gotta build a portfolio with a portfolio website to present to those who want to hire you. Also create a MV/FILM reel to present to you clients. Itll win them over! Show them your style!
Hey Ryan, that glide cam sound nice haha! I have a question, some surfers asked me to photograph them I have a Canon Eos R, I am search for some water cover thing.. Now I saw this in your gear page "DicapacWP-S10" does it work well or was it also a gear mistake? Thanks

We all make mistakes, what's 1 you made starting off?
Listening to people who don't really have any experience in Filmmaking or Photography.
30fps lol
Not starting sooner.
Not using a grey card
Not using contracts when dealing with artist for music videos...
Saving for the good gear you actually want is some of the best advice, I use to switch around cameras all the time instead of saving up for that 5D.
FACTS!!

One of my mistakes was learning all the technical knowledge without practicing the craft enough, if that makes sense.
Totally feel that. Knowledge is useless if not acted upon.
yessir
Makes a lot of sense
💯

Shooting in manual has made the biggest change for me. Awesome tips!
Man, that AC bill must be hella high. Dude is literally chillin in the apartment. :)

If you reading this, have a good day and be safe. God bless you 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks you brother 🖤

Love this. As someone who has been working to get out of using auto modes, nice to see the reinforcement that it's worth it.
On fire, bro! We missed you, dude!
I'm back
Creative Ryan greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico! 🚀🇲🇽🎬
You're back bro, nice to see more from you ✊
I’m here 🖤
As always man! Great time watching your videos!
Thanks!
I bought a really cheap small light and it is so annoying to use. It does not maintain the intensity. I learned my lesson.
It happens, we learn it the hard way
#1 taught me the most valuable lesson! Frame rates was my main one starting out though smh
Hell yea, frame rates too!

Good stuff, Creative Ryan!

How much does a beginner filmmaker charge for the first time?
Free

Start free to build a portfolio & charge higher as you progress!
