Camera advice! 🎥
Good morning, friends! I’m curious about cameras. So I’m turning to the people with more experience and knowledge than I. I have about $1,100-1,500 USD to spend. (More than that and I start to feel like I’m taking too much money for myself. But I could save up for sure.) The camera I bought in September or October (pictures below) is very nice and I thought i had researched well enough but it’s not what I need. I do have a lens for it. Maybe I should get more lenses? I’m not well-educated in this area. I wish I were. Anyhoo, I’m pretty sure I want to go with a BlackMagic but I thought I would get more perspectives. Plus I would need much more than $1500. There are much less expensive cameras that are not Black Magic quality. Maybe getting something like that to practice on and learn would be beneficial? Thoughts and perspectives are very welcome! I’m still learning.

Doc film exploits
As per recommendation, I am contemplating going to see if there’s any dvd store. I googled any dvd shops, expecting to find them all permanently closed since 2015 kr some shit, kanti, y’all look what I saw below (and apparently on google meals this is around a 23 minute drive from where I stayed. Guess they’re not as extinct as I thought 😅 You were right, @Jonas Marcel to say I am shocked is an understatement Update: @Jonas Marcel hi and hello everyone. I’m afraid in terms of getting more interviews, the deadlines might need to be extended. I say that because the car I am driving has been having problems that prevent it from driving properly and driving at all tbh. So depending on how long it takes for the car to be fixed, me filming more footage and interviews will have to have an extended date (s). I won’t be able to get it to you by next week Monday. Apologies for the delay. I hope everyone can understand

📽️ Filmmaking Workshop Recap: 26 January 2026
@Njabulo Mpungose is creating a short doc exploring how media consumption evolved from DVDs/CDs to streaming platforms. The key insight? It's not just about technology—it's about the experience. Going from hunting through video rental stores to instantly streaming everything has fundamentally changed how we consume cinema. Key Feedback for Creators: - Start small, but let projects grow gradually (not zero to 100) - Create dialogue between interviews rather than linear talking heads - B-roll/location footage brings cinematic depth—show don't just tell - Transcribe your interviews and mark themes to identify your core narrative Equipment Reality Check: - You don't need the most expensive gear to start - A phone + gimbal can be surprisingly effective for run-and-gun shooting - Understand your camera's limitations (lens focal lengths matter!) - Invest in gear you actually know how to use Passion Projects vs Client Work: - Passion projects take longer—that's okay, you're building skills - Client work has different energy and faster timelines - The sweet spot? Align client projects with your genuine interests The next Call is taking place Monday, February 2nd @ 5pm - 6:30pm
