The Camera Gear Trap
Camera gear videos dominate YouTube for a reason: they promise clarity in a confusing field. What to buy, what to upgrade, what will make your work “better.”
But there’s a quiet assumption underneath all this: that better tools lead directly to better films, and that’s only partially true since many filmmakers (especially those working on personal documentaries or experimental forms) the obsession with gear can become a form of avoiding the difficult task of focusing on craft.
