    I am a filmmaker. The 2x optical zoom gives the best view in any situation because:<br><br>1. Everyone does not have a photogenic face. You will look good with 2x because your face will feel wider. <br>2. All places are not clean and symmetrical, so 1x and 5x give a distorted view with bad set design.<br>3. You can get pretty much a balance in subject and object without cropping too much.<br><br>People in Asian countries get bad lighting, so they cannot get wide, low-aperture shots well. <br><br>American countries have planned buildings and clean roads, so light bounces smoothly everywhere no matter which lens you use.

    I finally took the leap on my life redesign (business &amp; digital nomad) channel at the start of January and haven’t stopped since… just using my iPhone! It’s been slow, but I’m now at 138 subscribers… which is unreal to be honest ☺️ It’s not loads when you look at massive Youtubers, but even 1 person following along is a proof of concept. Also, I can’t imagine speaking to a room with that many people in it and not being nervous… so in a way, it is kinda a lot 😂

    I did your 7 months, 7 videos challenge and it was the thing that finally got me started (the HARDEST PART) - now, less than a year later… I’m monetized and consistently posting!!! So grateful for that push I needed from your course

    This is the best advice you could get. Everyone&apos;s content sucks at the beginning, mine still sucks! But you have to be willing to get over that cringe feeling. Once you do, you can focus on improving and thats where the real growth lies.

    The phone in your pocket has better specs than cameras that made Oscar-winning films 20 years ago. We&apos;re really out here waiting for &apos;better gear&apos; when the tool is already in our hands. Just needed this reminder.:face-purple-wide-eyes::face-green-smiling::cat-orange-whistling:

    Meanwhile I&apos;m in awe of the editing done here. Quite underrated ingredient that often gets ignored.

    Its so easy to get lost in overthinking, and skip making the video all together... When actually the doing itself what matters most, the details can come afterwards 🌿🤙

    Filming yourself and uploading it somewhere becomes a digital diary for you.When you watch those videos after months or years you understand how much you have improved.<br>Doing the same right now
