My Equipment
Cameras
In my arsenal, I employ a Canon 750D as my primary camera for videography and photography. Despite its age, I have refined my skills over several years to still achieve quality content. Complementing this, I possess a DJI Osmo Action 3 and Contour Roam action cameras, and the gimbal-stabilized DJI Pocket.
Further, I maintain a diverse range of accessories, including lights, a DJI Ronin-SC stabilizer, tripods, and a DJI Osmo Mobile for mobile reporting.
Sound
Recognizing the pivotal role of sound in content creation, I prioritize the quality of audio equipment. My arsenal comprises a DJI Mic kit capable of accommodating two interviewees and doubling as a handheld wireless mic.
Additionally, I rely on the Rode VideoMicro for camera-mounted sound capture. To fine-tune audio tracks, I leverage Adobe Audition for editing.
Lighting
Lighting serves as the bedrock of visual storytelling, exerting a profound influence on the mood, atmosphere, and overall impact of visual content. In pursuit of cinematic excellence, I meticulously curate my lighting setup, leveraging a multifaceted approach to achieve stunning visual compositions.
At the heart of my lighting arsenal lies a compact LED light, providing versatile illumination options for a myriad of shooting scenarios. Moreover, I have two 200-watt softbox freestanding lights, each equipped with sturdy tripod stands.
Drone
In the realm of aerial cinematography, my DJI Mavic Mini allow me to achieve aerial footage and tracking options. With a well maintained supply of batteries, I ensure uninterrupted recording sessions, allowing me to seize the perfect aerial shots with precision and finesse.
Furthermore, my proficiency extends beyond mere operation, as I possess a Civil Aviation Authority drone license, underscoring my commitment to adhering to regulatory standards and ensuring safe and responsible drone usage in all my endeavors.
Software
In the realm of software, I am proficient in various tools essential for content creation. Adobe Premiere Pro and Rush stand as my go-to platforms for video editing, offering a comprehensive suite of features for seamless post-production. For sound editing, I rely on Adobe Audition to refine audio tracks with precision. Moreover, I utilize After Effects to incorporate dynamic visual effects into my projects. For photo editing needs, I turn to Photoshop and Lightroom, harnessing their robust capabilities to elevate the visual appeal of images. Additionally, I am adept at utilizing WordPress for web design and content management, facilitating the creation of engaging online platforms.
Furthermore, I navigate social media landscapes with ease, leveraging platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok to amplify the reach and impact of my content.
