@jburke.mp4 hey man.. I am trying to get into videography for fun, and as a way to create content for the @skatehive community.. I have a Samsung galaxy s20 ultra, and it has a really advanced looking camera, but I still feel really dopey capturing content with it..
Basically I wanted to know if you have any suggesting for making my video editing a bit more easy and streamlined.. rite now I'm doing it all on my phone, with a free app, that is kinda difficult to use.
Also I wondered if you had any suggesting for a camera/set-up that you think would do good with a tripod, as I am mainly capturing footage solo..
I'm looking at getting away from using my phone, because I want to play music with my phone and be able to skate with music playing, which I can't, when I'm recording haha!
Hey Militia, most certainly! software for editing i would checkout luma fusion, Adobe Premiere pro, final cut.
For gear I have two recommenations: Canon 80d
with a wide angle lens 11-16 as you can get wide shots like the image below but for videos.

The other issue I have rite now is I can't figure out how to sync my phone to my computer using the charge cord.. like you used to be able to haha.. it charges, but it dosnt connect lol.. than you for the suggestions!
Also, you can call me Matt if you want ;)
Here is one of my favorite shots I've gotten.
@jburke.mp4 is full of video and photo knowledge, you asked the right guy @unorgmilitia.
Only thing I'll add is that Da Vinci Resolve is another great editing software, and it’s free. Lots of tutorials for it online too.
Here is a link if you’re interested:
