![]() Shooters get caught up in new this and that and never get comfortable with the gear they have. Now a new model comes out every 15 minutes. My bosses at WRAL, in Raleigh NC, where I got my start, bought the latest and greatest and it lasted 10 years before the next model came out.You could learn your gear and form a partnership to create. My focus was on images, sounds, people, and their stories. I could operate that cinder block with a lens blindfolded. I knew when the highlights would go streaky or the blacks crushed to mush. I knew how far I could push it and where it would let me down. ![]() The reason I was excited by the outcome was I knew the old camera backwards and forwards. Some of my favorite stories were shot with old 3/4 inch gear, no wireless mics, very poor sensors and I had very few lights. There are 100s of camera choices for video today. Cameras don’t take images moving or still. People ask me all the time, “what is the best camera to shoot video?” My answer, “the one that has the qualities that match your ideas”.
