Equipment O en, you see photos and videos on a social media platform and are blown away by the way that shot is made. Be it a gimbal or a drone shot, these capture certain elements so beau- tifully that you wonder about the price tags on all the equip- ment used. But in reality, when you look at the behind-the- scenes of these upcoming creators, you will see that the images and videos are shot using the camera on a budget phone and then edited using any simple editing app. Sur- prised? But that is the fact. Even a mid-budget phone’s camera together with some creativity and a gen- eral idea about composition and editing will take you miles in the world of visual creators. If you are seriously considering making a mark as a visual creator, you need to invest time into learning the processes that go behind the making of the scene. Once you understand that, you’ll be in a much better position to use any old object in order to achieve the same stun- ning e ects as the pros, without all the expense.
