We’re back in the studio with a conversation that might be our most *real* yet—where weddings, camera firmware hacks, and the chaos of creative life all collide.We kick things off with the balancing act: flying drones, gaming, running social accounts, and still showing up creatively while building a marriage and a life. From there, we dive headfirst into Magic Lantern and how it’s breathed new life into old Canon DSLRs—giving us raw video, waveform monitors, and a reminder that gear doesn’t have to be new to be powerful.This one gets into the gritty realities of wedding filmmaking too—what it’s like working with vendors, why being early isn’t optional, and how professionalism often trumps technical talent. We also talk about the mess (and magic) of mixing Sony, Nikon, Canon, and Panasonic cameras on the same job, and what that means for color grading and sanity in post.Later, we take a look at how content is actually being made right now—spoiler: it’s more CapCut than Premiere. We unpack what’s working on social, what’s not, and why personality-driven content is winning over polished, “perfect” posts (yes, even for lawyers).Then comes the nerdy gear talk—Canon vs Sony vs Nikon vs Hasselblad, and the strange cultural identities each brand has built. We even break down why vertical video might just be a phase, and what the future of multi-format content could look like in a world of LED walls and AR glasses.If you're into camera ecosystems, wedding hot takes, or just need some permission to love your old gear again—this one’s for you.🔗 Website: [https://www.cortandluke.com](https://www.cortandluke.com)📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/cortandluke](https://www.instagram.com/cortandluke)🎬 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@cortandluke?\_t=8r93xifpxqy&\_r=1](https://www.tiktok.com/@cortandluke?_t=8r93xifpxqy&_r=1)Hosted by: Luke Montgomery and Cort Letcher
