From owning up to the mistake to buying a replacement and salvaging the shoot, we walk through the chaos with some laughs and honest reflection.Beyond the mishap, we explore the technical side of filmmaking—touching on the importance of audio quality, camera preferences, and navigating lighting challenges on set. We also compare brands like Sony, Canon, and Nikon, and talk about what really matters when choosing gear for professional shoots.We share insights from our own journey transitioning from videographers to cinematographers, discussing gear rentals, learning curves, and the unspoken pressures of creating polished client work. Plus, Luke shares a funny story from a recent trip to the casino, and we reflect on using humor to handle stress in creative careers.🔗 Website: https://www.cortandluke.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cortandluke🎬 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cortandluke?_t=8r93xifpxqy&_r=1Hosted by: Luke Montgomery and Cort Letcher#videoproduction #podcastlife #filmmaking #clientwork #SM7B #gearreview #cinematography #cameraequipment #contentcreation #creativeprocess #productionfail #Sony #Canon #Nikon
