Shooting film is an idealistic attempt to capture the best possible footage, but editing is where you turn that footage into something great. That said, post production can be grueling. Hours can easily turn into days when you’re editing, and if you’re going to spend so much time at your computer screen, it makes sense to have the best equipment out there....
