Cinematic Content Creation: Pro Essentials
10
items The blueprint for achieving that high-end, cinematic look, whether you're shooting for YouTube, Instagram, or clients. This list breaks down my rig, featuring the exact cameras, lighting, and audio tools I use to create professional visuals that stan...
The heart of the studio. Unbeatable low-light performance for that dark, cinematic aesthetic. I shoot everything for my personal and business brands on this beast. I've been using this camera for 4+ years now. The video quality at 4K 120fps is simply...
Sony Alpha 7S III Full-frame Mirrorless Camera
My most versatile lens. Instead of the standard 24-70, I use this because the extra reach (105mm) lets me get tight detail shots of fabrics and textures without changing lenses. A really sharp, stabilized lens
Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS Zoom Lens
The Sun. I use the Bi-Color version specifically so I can warm up skin tones (to 3200K or 4500K) instantly without messing with gels. It’s powerful enough to fake daylight, but versatile enough for late-night moody setups
Nanlite Forza 300B II Spotlight w/ Power & Case
Versatile Audio. I clip the mic to my shirt or client's outfit for hands-free work, or I slot it into the 'Interview GO' adapter to turn it into a handheld reporter mic for street interviews. Crisp, wireless, and reliable.
RØDE Wireless GO III – Compact Wireless Mic
The B-Cam & Webcam. When the A7S III is rigged up for the main shot, I use this for Behind-The-Scenes (BTS) footage or as a high-end webcam for client calls. I also use it a B cam for podcasts and interviews. It takes the same lenses as my main c...
Sony Alpha ZV-E10 APS-C Mirrorless Vlog Kit
The Vlogging lens. This lives on my camera when I'm in tight spaces due to its wide focal length at 17mm. The f/2.8 aperture is fast enough for low light.
Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Sony E Lens + 64GB SDXC + UV Filter + Backpack
The Aerial Perspective. I use this to get establishing shots of a location. I’ve flown the Air series for years. It’s the perfect balance of size and image quality.
DJI Air 3 Fly More Combo w/ RC-N2 Remote, 4K Drone, Dual Cameras, 3 Batteries, 48MP Photo
The tank. This bag holds the entire kit: drone, cameras, lenses, laptop and accessories. The armored shell protects the gear, and the back access keeps everything secure while traveling.
Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW II Black Backpack
Do not buy cheap cards. You NEED V90 speed to record the high-quality 4K 120fps footage on the Sony A7S III. These are the only cards I trust on commercial shoots.
Prograde 256GB SDXC UHS-II Memory Card 2 Pack - 90
The Heavy Duty Support. Unlike flimsy photo tripods, this has a fluid head for smooth pans and tilts. It’s solid enough to support the full A7S III rig with the heavy lens and monitor without shaking.
