Which gear and tools does Paul Rogers recommend for pro-level content creation?

Camera bodies: Sony A7RV for high‑end photo/video work, plus cinema/compact options like Sony cine, Fujifilm, and Blackmagic depending on the project

Lenses: A favorite is the Tamron 17–28mm f/2.8 (great for wide, clean talking-head and setup shots)

Audio: Shure SM7B for crisp, professional voice

Lighting: A 3‑light setup

1. Key light to shape the face
2. Fill/edge to control shadows and add depth
3. Background/practical to separate you from the wall and add a cinematic vibe

Editing: “God‑tier” workflow for big 4K projects—optimized timeline settings, fast external drives/SSDs, and an organized project structure to keep playback smooth and edits fast
