Today I have a conversation with Andrew Murphy about gear and the role it plays in your ability as a creator. If you don't already know Andrew Murphy is a full-time filmmaker and, as of recently, now a FULL-TIME YouTuber. He creates stunning content and has been creating and running his business for over a DECADE. We decided to talk about this topic today because, as creators, we all get to the point where we start getting really comfortable  with the gear that we have and want to upgrade OR as we are starting off just assume that we have to invest into the best gear possible on the market currently. It's almost like we get this idea in our head that our creative ability matches the quality of the gear that we have but ultimately it's not true. regardless if you have a super 8 camera or a Sony A7III neither camera adds or takes away from the experience you have as a creator or the story you have to tell. You may not have the best quality camera as far as pixels per inch or dynamic range goes BUT if you have a cellphone in your pocket or a GoPro... or anything with a record button you have a way to tell a story. At the end of the day story and value added are KING. You can have a bad video with 10 views on a RED camera and you can have an amazing low budget video with a million views on an entry level cam corder. Look at Casey Neistat, his videos starting out have hundreds of thousands of views if not millions yet they were shot on whatever camera he could get ahold of. Even his vlogs were shot on entry to mid level DSLR cameras. His go-to camera was a crop sensor Canon 70D with kit lenses that only shoots 1080 at 30 fps. The story you can tell with the gear that you have is ALWAYS better than the story that's left untold. Do what you can with what you have.
