What Equipment Do I Need to Make a Film? – Indie Filmmaking Tips
Like many ambitious filmmakers, I had similar worries before starting my first feature film in 2015. One of my main concerns was that I couldn’t make a film without a professional-grade cinema camera and a host of other expensive filmmaking equipment. It took me some time to overcome these concerns and allow myself to start the project.
Despite not having a high-end cinema camera or other top-tier equipment, I used what was available to me at the time. This approach proved successful, as I managed to produce a feature film that aired on UK television, appeared on various online streaming platforms, and even had a large cinema screening. My intention in sharing this is not to boast but to alleviate any fears you might have about not having the most advanced or ideal filmmaking equipment at your disposal.
