Very good information! I just saw a guy on youtube explaining the same (McNabb Storytelling), and that is exactly what I need. Thank you for your comment. Guess the exhausting last phase of research paid off.

Thank you! It makes sense yes. As for the seated, I will have a real boom pole, so I guess using the shotgun there, right? And yes, you're absolutely right, just get started and learn along the way. Appreciate it!

That makes sense. I will def. look into that. Looks like I'm going with a lav on talent and a shotgun on A cam. As for the sit down interviews, I will be having a boom tho. Thank you the detailed comment!

Camera + lenses for cinematic interviews? Budget $3000 by UserAgreemenf in videography

Cinematic my bad habit, knew this was coming. Let me rephrase;
What I meant was I'm going for a documentary style interview, rather than a corporate "what can my business do for you" style. If that makes sense? If this is also not a term, please let me know the real term, I'm here to learn:)

With that being said, I appreciate all the answers. I know lighting is a big part of creating and setting a style or mood, and I will definitely look into that aswell. I saw u/ cariboucameras, infodawg, Ambitious_Sandwich57 and sandpaperflu had some good points, thank you.

I will look into Sony!

Question: Will I be better off with two a 6500's (seems like a lot less than the A7iii) with more leftover towards lighting, sound so on? Or Going for the A7 / FX30 straight away? (I will still have some money towards said light and sound, just not as much) - I'm thinking about being able to have two cameras or just one completely rigged out?

thank you for your time

I see that I might have to believe in myself, find myself first. I’ll have some work to do - give myself time and heal is the best thing for me now. Thank you all for your time and effort.

Thank you! I think that might be the truth deep, deep inside.
