Which tools does Paul Rogers recommend for achieving cinematic video effects?

Hi, I’m Paul Rogers from thatcreativeceo.

For cinematic video, here are the core tools I actually use and recommend a lot:

• Camera: Sony A7RV (or any modern mirrorless with good dynamic range and 10-bit log)
• Lens: Fast zooms/primes like the Tamron 17–28mm f/2.8 (wide, sharp, great for handheld)
• Audio: Shure SM7B or a solid shotgun mic for clean dialogue
• Editing: Premiere Pro or Final Cut, plus LUTs for a consistent look

From there, it’s more about lighting, composition, and movement than any “magic” plugin.

What gear are you shooting on right now?
