    Hey everyone,

    Starting our filmmaking ventures often meant diving in with limited resources, sparking both excitement and challenges. Choosing that first camera has been an important decision in our growth as filmmakers.

    What was your very first camera when you began your filmmaking journey?

    Did you start with a DSLR, a mirrorless camera, or perhaps something different? What were the defining features or limitations of that camera that impacted your early projects? How did it shape your growth as a filmmaker?

    For those of us starting out or looking to upgrade, it'd be incredibly helpful to hear about your initial camera choices and the lessons you learned along the way. Perhaps there were specific features that proved crucial or unexpected challenges you faced.

    Feel free to share your stories, tips, or even your dream camera choices. Let's open up this discussion to learn from each other's experiences and help those embarking on their filmmaking journey make informed decisions!

    I am excited to read your stories and insights!
