Just wrapped up a client shoot in downtown Austin (full camera setup for client work, obviously).
But it got me thinking...
Between shoots, I pulled out my phone to film some content for my own brand.
Someone walked by who recognized me from ig, looking confused:
"Wait... you're not using your camera setup for your own content?"
See, he'd fallen for the same trap I was stuck in 8 months ago:
Thinking you need pro gear to build a real following.
But here's the truth I learned after going from 650 to 215k followers:
The gear you use for your personal brand matters way less than HOW you use it.
Here's a quick tip that changed my phone content game:
Next time you're shooting, turn on your grid lines and place your subject at any intersection point except the center. Then, take two steps back from where you'd normally film.
Trust me, try it. Your footage will instantly look more cinematic.
(This is just one of the simple tweaks I use to make phone content look premium... might have to share more soon )
Because here's what I've realized:
Most creators are so focused on what they don't have, they're not maximizing what they do have.
And that's exactly why I've spent the last few months building something special.
Something that's going to change how you think about content creation.
More details coming soon, but for now, try that filming tip and let me know how it goes.
Keep creating,
Arthur
