No Gear, No Problem: Why StillGood Films Teach Great Filmmaking Starts with Instinct, Not Equipment

A lot of people think filmmaking starts with the right gear. The truth is, it starts with the right perspective. At StillGood Films, we work with students of all levels; from 10-year-olds with iPads to professionals with RED cameras, and the through line is always the same: gear helps, but instinct is what makes the difference. If you know what you want the audience to feel, the rest becomes clearer. In our workshops, we focus less on settings and specs, and more on shaping scenes with meaning. You’ll learn how to make bold choices, frame emotion, and build rhythm. Regardless whether you're using a phone, a DSLR, or something in between. So no, you don’t need a fancy camera. You just need to start practicing.
