Nikon D3000. The 50mm f1.8 lens is another goal. Already love it compared to my lil' Sony point and shoot. I'm glad that you "allowed" people to go with the cheaper camera in one of your video posts. I was eyeing posts about the d 3000, 5000, 60, 90 etc for months thinking I HAD to buy the camera I couldn't afford. I just wanted to start taking pictures... Howdy,

Oh, you can bring is a scene/background also. ~Shawn I found one of the easiest ways to get smoke into a scene is using particle illusions software.

If an idea has legs it can do a lot of walking itself. No doubt step#1 in my book. But I agree with Nick, get dirty man! dive in, you never know where an idea can go if you don't throw everything at it, including the kitchen sink! Good stuff Nick. Hugo, couldn’t agree more.

But you really stand tall from all of them.cooool :). I have a request for a tutorial please consider, you told about shooting a real smoke from the nature and then composting it. Can you give us a demo on how to do that? It will be really helpful for all the beginners like me. and also can you please post some of your work or the projects that really inspired you. Thank you so much for your work. hi Nick,

Something really hard to hear, because it's easy and makes so much sense! The two biggest messages I get from you. 1. Starting is the first step to making cool shit, being perfect isn't. 2. Look to real life as an inspiration. The best plug-in, camera move, or fastest machine won't make you better. A sketch, photo, or some visualization will help you get to where you want to go. I really appreciate your videos. Wow. Something really hard to hear, because it’s easy and makes so much sense!

I often started personal projects but then I found them not good enough and never finished them. Or I have so many ideas that I end up realising none of them. I always get stuck somehow...
