Camera technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, making high-end cinematography relatively affordable. The options available to filmmakers today are fantastic and your money will go further than ever before, so there’s never been a better time to invest. We’re going to look inside the camera bags of two filmmakers who have put together versatile, portable shooting packages that, with a few additions as needed, will work for almost any type of shoot. Filmmaker and 3D artist Rob Redman (editor of this very magazine) has assembled a package for a budget that sits at the low-mid part of the price spectrum and is ideal for run-and-gun scenarios; while cinematographer Mick Jones has a package for those on a mid-level budget.
