Best cheap or used second-hand full-frame DSLR to buy for social media video.
Main Post:
Hi, I am a beginner in the photography/videography world.
The video in the post is my first video with my camera. I'm looking for advice for the cheapest full-frame camera used or new to buy to start making content. My budget is roughly 300-400 dollars but i don't mind you telling me about more expensive gear so I can save up if needed. Im open to suggestions.
My story:
I used to work as a content writer in a digital marketing firm and fell in love with the a7c with a 50mm lens that a coworker used. I just loved the low-light performance and the superior bokeh of that camera. The way you could create compelling content and stories for brands on Instagram that we were managing just had me mesmerized
I recently purchased an eos 1300 d with 50mm 1.8, kit lens, flash, tripod, reflector etc for about 300 dollars. Learned all the basics of iso, aperture, shutter speed etc and then realized that I like videography more than photography.
Came across someone selling a full-frame Canon 6d with a 50mm lens and I fell in love with it because of its low-light performance and full-frame view. He's quoting 260 dollars for it and it's pretty old, but I've made comparisons and I can't seem to get better value deals.
To get a nifty fifty view or wide angle on my crop sensor means that I'll have to buy an expensive 30mm prime or a cheap 120-dollar Yongnuo 35 Lens. My reasoning for going with the Canon 6d second-hand is that it's better than a shitty lens on my shitty apps. I feel like a 50mm lens on the 6d would be good enough for me to learn the basics and make a portfolio of social media content for restaurants, social media, etc. My goal is to become a social media manager/content creator at some point.
In my previous post, many people vehemently expressed their disapproval of the 6d saying it's outdated.
So I wanted to ask you which cameras you would suggest instead within 300 dollars or a very limited budget.

I used a self hypnosis video on youtube to regress back to my past life....and it was weird!!!
Main Post:
So, I write screenplays and every so often I research a subject that is sort of interesting and I recently have been looking up reincarnation and past lives and how science doesn't dismiss it at all. In fact there are some really cool stories about 4 yr old kids recalling a past life where they were killed in WW2 and can give their name and unit they were in, and when they traced the name they indeed found the person who was killed in the exact same way the kid described. But, I am a skeptic and they could be just that.... stories.
Anyway, I found a few past-life,self-hypnosis vids on Youtube and thought... "What the Hell? Why not?".... so I try it. I put on headphones and laid down and let the video clip hypnotize me. Now the first two times I tried it it didn't really show me anything. But boy was it fucking relaxing! This pain I had in my neck was gone within minutes from the relaxation I experienced during the hypnosis.
Finally, about two days later, I try it a third time simply for the relaxation part and I got some sort of visions as to who I was in a previous life. These are the notes I took after I woke up: -The name Benjamin Arnold. I lived somewhere in the hilly Virginia/Carolina area. There was a mill... along a river/stream. My job had something to do with the mill and keeping it greased with a fat-like lard type stuff.
-I was short, stocky and had reddish hair that was long and shaggy. I remember my parents... one of them My mother---I believe was actually Eric my current brother. My father was a slim man with a potato type nose and reddish hair pulled back in a ponytail. We lived in a log cabin up in the rural hilly area as well---as a child. Once I got older I moved away and never saw my parents again.
-The most tragic event of my life...I was standing alongside a river...with tons of round river rocks/pebbles... and there was blood in the water. Someone I feel had been injured along the water front—shot through the chest I feel.... But that was a bit hazy. It sort of freaked me out and it was as though I didn't WANT to remember it.
-This whole thing I feel was early 1700’s-ish. There was a young woman...I feel she was either my sister or my daughter. I remember the name Anne and her face.
-I had a daughter, I remembered the night of her birth as my favorite memory from that life. But I don't recall much about my wife, siblings or any other relatives. I get the feeling my wife passed away when the daughter was born or shortly after and the sister ("Anne") was raised with my daughter as though they were sisters. It's sort of confusing.
-The house i lived in was a wooden house with a thatch roof. It had glass windows and a second floor but only one bedroom. The Bed was made of ropes tied across a frame-similar to a bed/hammock crossover. There was a small table next to the bed with an oil lamp on it and that was it. No upstairs window at all but there was this shutter thing you could use to let the heat out. There was nothing else in the bedroom except for a pitcher and bowl under the bed and the staircase leading back down into the kitchen.
-I wore a hat which I can only describe as similar to a witch's hat, but it was brown instead of black and the brim wasn't as large as a witch's hat.
-I also get the feeling we were originally Scottish.
Now I don't know if this is real shit or if it is something planted in my head or I watched a TV show with similar people in it or what the deal is. But it seems to have really struck a chord with me. I plan on going under hypnosis again, but the last youtube video I used took about an hour or so to get into deep enough hypnosis and I just haven't had an hour to set aside and put myself under.
It was WEIRD!!! Okay! I don't know if you've ever been hypnotized but it was really strange being in a trance-like state. Then once it started asking about my past life it got really strange. It was sort of like watching a movie or a video game where you could move around and investigate a room. I also experienced smells and emotions which was odd.
Anyone else have any input on this shit? I'll keep updating the next time I do it. Here is the hypnosis video
let me know if it works or not. I am just flabbergasted because the shit was so vivid and emotional. Has anyone else researched past lives or have any experience with reincarnation? I am curious to know if anyone has, or if anyone does use this hypnosis youtube video if they see anything?
Top Comment: For those of you on mobile. I used this link in browser and not with tje youtube app and it works. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dqqUjWRaS0g
Best place to sell used video production equipment?
Main Post:
Hi all! I'm located in the UK and have a bunch of studio equipment to sell from a previous project (NAS, cameras, hard drives, lights, cables etc.). Is there a forum / marketplace for this kind of stuff where I could shift these easily?
Looking for convenience VS best price (e.g. just posting a list somewhere VS individually listing items on somewhere like eBay).
Appreciate it might be a long shot - any help would be appreciated!

Looks like MPB might be a good bet, they started in the UK and expanded into the US a while ago. Also Ebay is always a decent bet too.

Top Comment: “Ludwig from Video Games” is this a different department? Like how there’s HR in a company? But I’m not shocked H3 would use a doctored image.
Somebody that I used to know music video is a brilliant work of art.
Main Post:
I never understood it as a kid I thought it was just artistic but now that I think about it it’s truly quite brilliant.
In the beginning when he’s describing the relationship he’s painting a picture of the it, and he’s dead set on where he fits into it. You then see that she’s apart of that picture he painted, fitting into the lines.
Her face is to the wall when she is panned to, symbolizing that she has taken a submissive stance to the reality he’s constructed and just fit in without looking.
She then wiggles her way out of the lines representing how she has began to have qualm with fitting into it. She walks over and yells at him, begging him to look her way and consider her, but he keeps his head straight and himself aligned with his painting.
You can see in her acting the way she loses the drive to try and get him to look. It’s not until she begins leaving that he even looks her way and considers her. She removes herself from the painting completely, and the end is just him standing there still as a part of it.
Showing how stubborn he is to not be willing to accept anything but his picture of reality, and how his whole narrative of being done over is flawed, and really based in the fact that he wouldn’t accept anything but his way. Now he sees her as stranger because she is no longer a part of his construct. A perfect metaphor for what usually breaks a couple up.
Truly beautiful.
Top Comment: I hadn't watched the video in years, but love the song so much. I really enjoyed the way you described it and just watched the video again in that lens. Great insight.

Top Comment: What Warframe were they using in the build video? Were they running a damage buffing ability like Roar, Xata's Whisper, Eclipse, etc? Also you should really max out your mods especially Galvanized Chamber as multishot is extra good on beam weapons
