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

For pro‑level content, Paul leans on a few core categories: camera, lens, audio, lighting, and editing setup.

• 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
  • Key light to shape the face
  • Fill/edge to control shadows and add depth
  • 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

What part of your setup are you trying to upgrade first—camera, audio, lighting, or editing?
