1) What is your budget? How much money can you spend right away, and do you think you can get more money to invest in the future? maybe $380-$450
2) What experience do you already have with cameras? Have you ever even used one before? Have you helped your friend out with his camera? Have you owned your own? Not really done anything properly apart from Gopro POV
2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? (tripod, old camera lenses, mics, etc) Gopro Hero9, Gopro Hero 5 Session, iPhone 14
4) What are you planning to shoot and how do you want to use your camera? Are you going to use this with the sole purpose of shooting skiing? or do you think you might try other stuff as well (movies, documentaries, short films, etc) primarily ski season edits, but also short films and short documentaries on various topics
5) Do you want a camera that you can hand to your friends, that could or could not have film experience, and let them shoot you? or will you be doing all the filming? camera that I can hand to friends, some who have a little experience and some who have a lot
6) When filming skiing, how do you tend to shoot? (follow cams, leave it on record on a tripod and hike, film from a tripod, etc)
filming a run from the bottom/on opposing slope, handheld follow cam
7) What computer do you currently have/use to edit (if not currently editing, what would you most likely use)? If you can provide specifics, such as hard drive space, RAM, processor size, that would be great. PC: 16gb RAM, 3TB space, Ryzen 5 3600, 3070
Laptop: Dell, some intel i5, 8gb ram
7) What program do you currently edit on? How familiar are you with it (1- just learning; 10- I can make tutorials and know the keyboard layout) Premiere Pro (get subscription through school), probably a 3/4
Thanks for any responses!
