The most important advice I’ve ever gotten - “The best camera is the one you already have.”

There’s going to be a new model from every camera manufacturer every year. They tack on more pixels to the latest Arri. Someone’s going to shoot something in 16K and it’ll look great. But by the time you get that 16K camera, they’ll be up to 64 and you’ll have nothing to show for it in the meantime. And you won’t know what to do with all that resolution if you haven’t tested the limitations of your existing gear.

1080p is going to be standard for delivery for a while. The newest cell phones film 4k video now (albeit highly compressed). Just make something.

I maintain this is the best advice because I deeply regret the amount of time I spent not following it.
