Hey there guys! I am a film student looking to buy some equipment to start making things in my free time for fun and for my portfolio and im trying to start by accumulating some beginning equipment, one of the main things im in need of right now is lighting, ive come across this listing, its going for 100 dollars NZD, I was wondering if you reckon its worth buying? It comes with 2 bulbs, and the stands are adjustable, any insight would be appreciated!

Hi there! I am a University Film student and own a Canon EOS 70D camera! I want to upgrade from my kit lens which is a EFS 18-55mm f/3.5 widest. I believe this more suited for photography and I don't like the widest aperture being 3.5. I believe upgrading the lens instead of the camera is definitely the best choice. I am between 3 currently:

- Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM 
- Samyang 35mm f/1.4

These fit in my price range and I think I would prefer a prime lens over a zoom lens as i have looked into the two and it seems a prime lens would be best for my budget and just generally better for armature short films. I just wanted to know which of those 3 are better and if they would even be a substantial upgrade to my current lens. Also please let me know if im completely wrong about prime lens being better for my situation. Thank you so much in advance!

(Also is this post allowed? its about lens specifically and not camera buying advice?)

Hey there everyone, I am at a loss for options and Im not sure how to go about this. I am a university student who is in the process of arranging flatting with a group, to do this I need a part time job, for context my uni schedule has always been pretty flexible, the only aspects I needed to be in person for are workshops which have multiple slots throughout the week so I could really get any hours for a job.

During the semester break I was searching and I eventually found one, got hired and am due to start next week, the only issue is I have just started my new Uni semester and the workshop and course times have been posted and to my horror I found that the most important class for my major, a class worth double 30 points instead of 15, has incredibly important workshop and hands on equipment session on fridays, every friday and that is the only day and time slot. this is the exact time I'm working (friday/saturdays).

I have been told that attending this course is so important due to the content and group work that If i can not regularly attend I may have to find a different major. I don't want to change majors as this is my passion but I need this job, I am also very anxious about quitting before I even start and the amount of work I and delay that would put the manager through. My teacher suggested contacting my boss and asking if there is any way I can switch days however I haven't even had my first shift I feel like I have no power to ask for that and am worried that shows a lack of dedication and commitment which is scary because my country has worker trials which means the boss can fire me within 90 days of employment without needing to disclose a reason so i don't want to end up in the bad books for making a hassle.

I really don't know what to do, any advice?

Hey guys! I am a university film student trying to practice and make my home projects in my spare time. A few years ago when I didn't know much about camera types and stuff I bought a Canon EOS 70D and couldn't get the hang of it and it ended up in my closet, I've taken it out again to practice and I've come to the conclusion that it seems to be more geared towards Photography, my question is do I sell my camera and try to find something better and more videography oriented or is the EOS 70D okay for videography and I just need a better lens or to properly learn it in and out? Thank you all!

(This is not a camera buying advice post I'm not looking for suggestions or help buying! I just want to know if I should keep this camera or keep looking!)

Platform(s): PC

Genre: It was like kind of post apocalyptic but also with a slight hint of humor? It was a linear story too

Estimated year of release: early 2000s to early 2010s?

Graphics/art style: It was 2D with like a pixel art style if i recall?

Notable characters: Cant recall any notable characters

Notable gameplay mechanics: Fixed camera system with the ability to choose different dialog options? and items with an inventory system?

Other details:

I played this game when I was little like 2016 kind of era on my dads old computer and i'm desperately trying to find it. I feel like it was set in kind of a post apocalyptic era but most of it took place inside a facility? It was a pixelated art style with a fixed camera, it was a linear story game with items and stuff and you could talk to characters and choose different dialog options, the only notable scene i can remember is being able to steal a characters sandwich in one scene and go back and sell it to him later. I know absolutely tiny amount to go off but I would really love to find it again thank you so much!
