Hello Everyone, I am a self taught filmmaker and designer.

Thank you I'm starting to learn film making. It's tougher than photography. :/

 

Don’t be discouraged, they are quite similar. Practice as often as possible you’ll get a hang of it.

 

I think the hardest would be editing part. Transition etc. What camera and lenses do you usually shoot?

 

Okay, I don't want you get in to this mindset of thinking that the camera is the most important gear in your arsenal.
Don't get me wrong a good camera is huge plus but it's just a tool to help you bring your vision/idea to life.

My advice will be to spend more time on learning the art of storytelling, lighting, and how to record quality audio. The mastery of these three components of Filmmaking will get you shoots looking like the pros in no time.

As for Post production/Editing? choose the software that makes the most sense to you and start with that. No need to go all out on subscriptions you cant afford.

I also recommend you check out Hollywood Camera Works this is one of the best tutorials out there.

 

Yes true, Gears don't matter. It's the creative part that really matters. And YESSS LIGHTING IS THE ONE I'M STRUGGLING Are there other workshops about lighting that you know of, to introduce?
