Everything I make comes out of the same room, with the same gear, solving the same kind of problem.
Lighting, exposure, colour. How to make a bedroom look like a set with one light and a window.
Cameras, lights, laptops. Written for people buying their second piece of gear, not their tenth.
One desk that has to be a studio, an edit bay and an office. Cable runs, mounts, 3D-printed fixes.
Plugins that take the boring parts out of an edit — pulling footage, burning subtitles, checking safe zones.
Not a wishlist. This is what's on the desk, what shows up in the videos, and what I'd buy again.
