Understanding Cameras & Lenses with Irwin "Moon" Miller

It can be overwhelming to choose the right camera to make your film look  cinematic as an indie filmmaker. Maybe you have shot a few shorts with  your iPhone or DSLR and you want to up-level with your next film but you  are not sure where to start. Do rent a super expensive Arri Alexa or  can you get a comparable look with a less expensive camera and the right  lens. Should you try to rent an anamorphic lens or are they out of your  league. Maybe all of this sounds foreign to you and you just want to  have a better understanding of how to shoot a film and make it look  good, period!!! If you are a director it is important for you to  understand camera and lens so you can relay to your cinematographer your  cinematic vision.
