This blog is real (not created with A.I.) but it's still fake and I'll tell you why. The reason is, I believe in using budget gear, and making things work. A number of years ago transitioned from photography (and graphic design) and set out to see if a still photographer could transition to filmmaking. I started testing super-low-budget cameras (the GH2, GX1, G3, G5, G7, GH4, GX85, G85, FZ1000...) and figuring out custom camera settings for each lens-sensor combination. I learned that as long as you find that "sweet spot" in each combination, you really CAN get good quality on a super low budget. So, I started writing down everything I learned (so I could remember) but eventually had to create this website (so I could put the settings into a searchable database). I've also started testing budget filmmaking LIGHTS and AUDIO, but those are going to be more long-term reviews.
