    Camera rigging isn't something that comes naturally, especially when it comes to the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera. I've scoured the internet in search of the ugliest, most pointless, and least functional BMPCC rigs on the internet so we can see what went wrong, what went right, and rank them. Shae Paterson -Cinematographer, Gaffer, and creator of the "Terrible Blackmagic Rigs" Facebook page- joins me today to once and for all decide which BMPCC rig is the most terrible of all time! All the images in this video were pulled directly from the "Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K & 6K User Group" on Facebook, "/r/BMPCC" on Reddit, and of course the "Terrible Blackmagic Rigs" Facebook page.

    How much does all that camera gear cost? How long did it take to get? What camera should I buy? All questions I WILL NOT be answering in this episode! The question you should be asking is in the title: "How did you get all this camera gear?" .Today, I'm taking you on a trip down memory lane to outline exactly how I built my kit from a Canon Rebel T3i and a $30 tripod, to almost $30,000 in lighting, camera, sound, and grip gear. I'll also be telling you where I went wrong, and giving you the tools that I wish I had when I started my career in film. The camera gear MATTERS!
