I’m an editor come director, even though not a big time but luck has favored me with few commercial advertisements and are looking forward other shorts in our list. Canon 70D is a good cam with auto video focus setting. One of the better ones in the specified range. A wide lens, prime and a normal lens will serve the purpose for the shorts, and renting will be much wiser. Rhode mic will also be a good add-on for capturing your audio. This was literally my gadgets for a demo ad done for the junk removal service in Toronto and they are quite satisfied with the project.
