You are right. Stupid trolls will pitch n with their arguments such as the camera is more important than the person using it. I don't see any content shooters agreeing with them though.

Still going. And Paul still doesn’t get it. Sorry I couldn’t respond for a few days. Have been on set shooting a VR video series for Pfizer with a $250k budget. :winkwink:

nah, you just can't read.

or comprehend.

I'm unsure.

WHO told you that?

WHO told you that ?

WHO told you that?

WHO told you what surfers think ?

WHO told you that?

you are wrong with all you come up with.
no way to make you understand this biz EVER.

Paul also said somewhere above that "no one has ever bought content because it's 4K" or something to that effect. While I know that most who shoot in these higher resolutions aren't delivering at the same resolution, customers absolutely have and do buy content that's specifically 4K. While they really won't see huge differences, the public has been conditioned, already own the displays and are starving for 4K content.

It really is only a matter of time before this is the standard for online delivery.

Paul, if you're at all interested in learning about some of the cameras available for content creators of all types....here's a good look:



And the results...based on the votes and eyes of viewers who likely know what they're looking at :winkwink:



Keep in mind, the Pocket 6K is $2500 and the Arri Alexa Mini is about $30000. The only thing cheap about that camera is the cost.

If you're going to spend that much on a camera you must know what you're doing.

Do you know what you're doing with a camera? Then there's a good excuse for elevating to 4K. But never assume 4K is going to make a bad shooter good or a bad movie good. Never assume that only good shooters can buy a 4K camera.

What's the hardest and more vital thing to acquire? The skills to shoot videos good enough for Pfizer or the buying of a 4K camera?after all you said $1300 is all it takes to get a 4K camera. Even $3,000 won't be a problem. It takes years to acquire the skills to shoot properly, therefore it's primary and the camera is secondary. Which is where I started.

So keep arguing the camera is the more important and the only reason Pfizer come to you for the $250k is you have a good camera. Because if you disagree with that you have to agree with me.

Hey has the OP gotten any WORK from this thread?

That was the original point after all.

If i read you I really don´t understand how you could ever make a step without stumbling.

if someone say: DO YOU WANT TO BUY A WHITE CABRIOLET?

the answer is simply YES OR NO and the details come later.

but you answer this question with:
nobody needs a cabriolet OR
I doubt that the one who offers it is able to make a cabriolet OR
they should not produce cabriolets but bicycles because they sell better OR
you are too late I was the only one that ever produced cabriolets - in fact they were bicycles but I called them cabriolet - anyway you are TOO late because I am retired now....


what a fuck is that?
do you sometimes read what you write ?

So a snail walks into a Cadillac dealer and says I wanna a brand new caddie. Its gotta have leather, power, everything. And I want it painted bright pink with three huge green letter S's painted on the hood and doors. The salesman says sure....whatever you want. But why in hell do you want all those fluorescent green S's.

Snail says.."Man when I drive down the street I want everyone to look and point and say....Look at that s car go.

Paul. Maybe this is a lesson you never learned in your 180 years on the planet. Sell the guy what he wants. Not what you want.

J/C what are you shooting this Pharma vr on?

LOL!! It's a French joke so the Englishman Markham will auto reject it. :D

But you are 100 correct: SELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! I wouldn't care if ppl bought the strangest stuff from me as long as it's a sale.

I'm just going back to Mainstream...this board seems to be on life support

I doubt it because the OP hasn't given any good reasons for people to buy from him. Using a 4K camera isn't a good reason to switch producers for a new one or seek out a producer without samples or a recent track record of producing content.

That takes real sales skills. Selling a guy what you want him to buy not taking his order on what he wants to buy, even though you maybe unable to supply it.

I would of have shot some sample footage of what I could do, models I could find, put it on a site then approached all the old customers I had. Even some soft core footage on YT and Vimeo would help.

That's the definition of order taking.

Selling is where you convince the client you're product is best.
