A Crash Course in Filmmaking with Jason Morris — Part 2

The Gear: Build Your Kit the Right Way

WHY YOU CAN’T MISS THIS

Too many filmmakers think buying the latest camera is the answer. But gear alone won’t make your films cinematic. It’s how you rig it, what glass you choose, how you capture audio, and how you build a lighting setup that actually works.

That’s where most creatives hit the wall — and where this session will blow the doors wide open.

We’ve flown Jason Morris, Sony Ambassador and one of Australia’s most respected YouTuber/filmmakers (360K Instagram, 136K YouTube), to give you his exact playbook on building a kit that performs under pressure. No guesswork. No wasted money. Just proven setups that Jason uses every day to deliver projects at the highest level.

You’ll learn how to kit out your rig like a pro, which lenses truly matter, how to capture clean audio without breaking the bank, and how to design a simple lighting/studio setup that makes your work look instantly more professional.

This is the workshop you wish you had before you wasted cash on the wrong gear.
