The Camera That Inspires You The Most Isn't The Best Spec Camera

[@JLJ2]

Brittney you keep delivering some bangers! Firstly, I appreciate this video because you included some of my favorite KZbinrs, and some I wasn’t familiar with…so now I have some new folks to follow! And I was just thinking that my feed is getting dry and I need to freshen things up. Also, this video is so helpful because it proves that everyone has different needs & wants when it comes to creating. So at the end of the day we all have to do what works for us! Budget, features, practicality, etc…all that stuff matters when deciding on creation tools. Thanks again for an inspiring video. 🙌🏾

I super love my Fx3 and FX30. My camera that inspires me the most is either the Fuji x100v or the Sony zv1. One of those are always with me and give me the sauce.

[@BrittneyJanae]

We in the same boat lol. I love my fx3 but my x100v goes with me EVERYWHERE

Great question, getting people further away from consumerism and closer to what inspires them is really important. So many of us get caught up in the hype and specs and fail to just, create.

The best image I’ve ever gotten from a camera was the Blackmagic 6k. I moved to Canon but I do miss that crazy look I got from my BM.

[@daniellove162]

As an editor I often edited ARRI & RED footage. Every now and then I’d get black magic footage and was blown away at how much I liked it better. I don’t know why.

[@relaxwithme3266]

I find the camera I love, the camera that inspires me changes based on my setting. In all real-world situations I need only the following: the camera turns on and functions. That's it. I could care less about brand, specs etc. I paid off my house with an original A7S (mark 1) over a period of 7 years. I'd always get made fun of by others on set but I knew what they didn't. All that matters is the story. And the story doesn't give a rats a$$ about your specs, how cool your mattebox is, or whatever. I legit think 99% of creatives are brainwashed by ads and influencers. My Sony does this, my Blackmagic does that. Guess what? It's all in your head. Rock the FX3 for the next decade. Don't buy another new camera. Focus on your ability to tell a story. Your career will go to the moon while everyone else will have spend tens of thousands on cameras that they then chuck away as soon as a new product is announced. Life is about giving, not about having. Stories give. Gear takes. The best part of this video was the choice you made to get other KZbinrs to share their feelings. They all shot on different cameras. Nobody cared. It was their words that mattered. It was your idea to bring them together into this video that mattered.

[@thommyel1530]

100% agree with u man, i don’t know why there are still ppl who rely on camera so they can be creative, cmon most of the cameras nowadays produce amazing images even the movie “ the creator “ was shot with an FX3 does it mean that Greig Fraser isn’t creative?! I salute man for your comment keep up the great work 🤙🙏🏻

[@SuperHappyGiantRobot]

For me it was for real the c200. It was the first real cinema camera for me. I got a sigma 18-35mm and I was unstoppable. When I used the 24-70 sigma lens I was blown away! I loved it and when I shot football with it the package of the 70-200 plus the camera was not that heavy. I could run all game without an easy rig and I loved it. The c70 was a great upgrade for me and I liked it. But, as a solo operator I am liking my fx6 but thinking about switching to the OG Komodo.

[@willhdolan]

This is a fantastic video - really love the variety in the answers! Encapsulates so well that no matter what the flavour of the month camera is, the one that work for you as an individual is the best one you can have, no matter what anyone else thinks of it!

[@yusei151]

This video is great and there is definitely a lot of valid points. Honestly though I think the title is SEO brilliance that will garnish a lot of comment to discuss what is "a creative camera". I can say that if we're being honest its not the gear holding a person back most of the time its the person. I have seen KZbinrs like Danny Gervitz make spec ads and cinematic videos that go above and beyond what ive seen some folks do with a Komodo x or a sony Venice and he did this all with an FX3. Hell to claim the camera isn't creative spits at the idea that the FX3 was the primary camera used to shoot a huge budget film starring John David Washington, the Creator. To Greg Fraser who was the DP, that camera was the answer to his creativity as the form factor ( which they still had made a rig for it) and dual native iso allowed them to make something they couldn't do with a Venice or an Arri as easily. It really depends on where you are at with your film making journey. At the end of the day these are all tools, Ive used Black Magics and god knows I would never make that my primary system but thats a whole other story. However if it was the only camera given to me id have to be hella creative to get shots I would want, but I do prefer that my gear is out of the way so I can focus on other things like lighting, costumes and other things involved in production. Anyway this was a video of all stars and you got a subscriber due to a provocative ass title however with legit conversational content in the whole video lol. Keep on killing them and I love seeing more black creatives in the film making space on KZbin. Its inspiring. P.s. If you made this title about a Nikon camera though that fan base would be on like white on rice... that group doesn't play 😐

[@BrittneyJanae]

So that’s what this video is about, it’s bout about the camera, it’s about being inspired. I’m sure Danny gets inspired from the fx3. I create great stuff from my fx3 but I’m still not inspired by it.

[@yusei151]

@@BrittneyJanae I'd love to ask you what makes you not inspired? Like say for me, I have all of the gear I could ask for and can do whatever job would be require of me from small to medium size productions. However those are just jobs, for my own personal I am inspired by art, music videos, fashion concepts etc and I just grab the gear that is gonna make me produce the best work. I dont necessarily look at my cameras expecting for me to feel inspired by it, I look at them to capture my ideas from the things in life that inspire me. I dont know if that statement makes sense.

[@BrittneyJanae]

@@yusei151the look i get out of the Sony fx3 isn’t inspirational. I like ease so to have a creative idea but then know that I have to put a lot of work into the workflow because of the camera just isn’t inspiring to me. If I have a creative idea, I want to be able to find that camera that will allow me to just be creative without this crazy workflow. The black magic is beautiful so I know the ideas in my head will come out as beautiful as I’m thinking of them with that camera. I don’t have to go try to find diffusion to soften, or certain lens to make it look a way, or do do much in post to get it to where I would need to get it creatively. Even with my fuji, being able to shoot jpeg with beautiful colors from the camera, that inspired me to document my life with that camera cause it’s just point snd shoot and focus on your creativity but know that the images will come out exactly how you want because you can get creative with color literally in the camera. The Sony fx3 is good for work but for me personally and personal work no. Hope that makes sense.

[@KG-theknickerbockerkid]

I have been trying to break out of the mindset of focusing on the equipment and focusing on improving my skill. For this reason, I have been inspired more by the point and shoot cameras.

[@mashudali8482]

What a video! I'm going down the filming route soon, now, its photography. I shoot on one camera. Fuji Xpro2 on the 35 1.4. The limitations of learning one focal length, once camera forces me into a single workflow. Which eliminates getting started. What a bloody good video, choose the camera that does not get in your way and helps you deliver your creativity. Its in the doing, not specs.

[@BrittneyJanae]

Yesss love the last sentence! It’s in the doing, not the specs!! Fuji taught us all to just have fun! When I bought my x100v I had the most fun I’ve ever had with any camera! I take that thing everywhere!

I'm currently in the process of getting a new/proper camera and have been indecisive about which brand/model to get. I've used a Nikon forever but Fuji & Sony have been on my mind this whole year (I do primarily products & portraits + some events but I've developed strong interest in/and have started practicing video/film and will be expanding in that direction). I'm still not sure if I even want to switch at all, so this video is timely and interesting. Also, now you've given me new creators to check out, so thank you so much ❤️
