My wife and I are wanting to do more recordings of ourselves and we wanted to see what kind of A/V gear is mostly used. Do y’all just use cell phones and lights or do you use a good digital camera and/or digital video camera and lights?

Cell phones are easy and great for pics, but not always the best for lower light/videos. I am just wanting to see suggestions on what y’all recommend and use to up our quality.

I’ve done some research into this recently and the consensus is that lighting is more important than anything. The fanciest camera will look like shit with bad light, but even an older iphone will be fine with good lights.

Cameras don’t record reality, they record light - lighting is 100% key.

Even a 30 minute lighting tutorial online could be helpful for the majority of people who aren’t photographers by trade
