Business
I'm pretty passionate about the subject of camera gear, but not in the way some of my colleagues are. Having just purchased a new camera not too long ago, I was forced to shop around. During my search for the "perfect" camera, I was reminded of why I don't already have the newest and best, why I never have, and why I'm ok with that. It's a matter of knowing what your values are, and never forgetting what brought you to the dance. Today so many would-be artists get so caught up in the technology of the craft that they forget to make things that people want to see at all. The lesson I'm passing on to a younger me in this episode is simply that, as Kanye West put it (roughly): "If your grandma was to surprise you with a cake on your birthday, would you question the batter?". In other words, if your job is to create an emotional experience for your audience, why are you wasting your time pouring over numbers and specs? mpresamedia.com Music by: WuTang Clan Kanye West My cameras: Sony FS5 II Sonya6500 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carlosatwork/message
