💡 Universal Lighting & Production Equipment Guide
A fully written, high-end reference guide to professional cinema and photography gear.
This isn’t a shopping list. It’s a field guide — built for creative teams who want to understand how image-making tools actually function on set. Developed by Studio Lellow and written from the perspective of a working filmmaker, this guide brings clarity, philosophy, and emotional intelligence to gear selection.
Broken into four sections — Camera, Lighting, Grip & Electric, and Rigging — the guide doesn’t just tell you what the top-tier tools are. It tells you why they matter, how they behave, and what kind of story they help tell. Each section opens with a framing paragraph on tone, atmosphere, and creative intent.
Whether you’re a director looking to articulate a technical approach, a producer quoting a complex shoot, or a DP building a kit for a specific vibe — this guide helps you move with confidence, not guesswork.
📦 What’s Inside
4 fully written gear sections: Camera, Lighting, Grip & Electric, Rigging
Recommendations for high-end cinema and photography production
Includes: camera bodies, lens theory, LED vs HMI, modifiers, power distro, stabilization systems, car rigs, and more
Thoughtful, emotional intros for each section
Delivered as a polished PDF + README file
🎯 Who It’s For
Directors, producers, DPs, and creative teams working in commercial production, branded content, editorial, or doc-style filmmaking — anyone who wants a smarter, more intention-driven approach to gear.
