Cort and Luke in the Wild

Is traveling light really worth it??

01 Jul 2025

Description

We’re back with a wide-ranging conversation straight from the heart of creator life—where gear choices, financial realities, and the push for authenticity all come crashing together.We kick things off with the age-old struggle: how do you pack light but still shoot beautiful content when you're traveling, especially across the UK? From Micro Four Thirds to heavy anamorphic setups, we break down what’s worth carrying and what you can leave behind without sacrificing quality.Then it's all about audio—why mic placement might matter more than your camera, and how sound can make or break your video storytelling. We also get into editing philosophy: cutting to story instead of music beats, and why trusting the voice can make your content hit harder.Later, we dig into color grading—the invisible craft that quietly elevates your footage—and share why older cameras like the Canon 70D (especially with Magic Lantern) still have a serious place in your workflow. If you’ve been chasing new gear just to keep up, this one’s your permission to stop.It wouldn’t be a real conversation without some financial transparency. We open up about credit cards, debt culture, and how smart money moves are just as essential as knowing how to light an interview.Toward the end, things get a bit spicy with critiques of AI content, TikTok Shop, mediocre photography workshops, and the pressure to always be posting. We talk about what creators actually need—real skills, real tools, and real voices in a space full of noise.If you’ve ever felt stuck between your gear bag and your bank account, or wondered how to stay authentic in a world of filters and affiliate links—this one’s for you.🔗 Website: https://www.cortandluke.com (https://www.cortandluke.com/)📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cortandluke🎬 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/Cortandluke?_t=8r93xifpxqy&_r=1Hosted by: Luke Montgomery and Cort Letcher
