"Just like you shouldn't listen to the indie filmmakers at the festival" you shouldn't listen to this Ryan guy either. Your work was pretty good. I followed the link you shared and realized I had already watched, and had already given your video a like/heart on vimeo some time ago. Anywho, Ryan Emanuel you should share some of your "perfect" work so others can learn by example instead of learning by your criticism.

I don't anywhere in this document where it say anything about 4k as the recommended format for Netflix. Maybe you have so other documentation you care to share? There are PLENTY of movies that were shot in sd and hd quality that's on Netflix. Just pull up some of the old tv shows on there that was shot in 480p! Anywhom the documentation link is below:

The 7d mark ii don't have moire and aliasing issues. I shoot with one have have yet to come across that problem. I have shot at things specifically to create those issues and I was unable to do so even with L lens and sigma art lens, thanks to the low pass filter it has. The 7d mark ii is a fantastic camera, especially in those regards! People always compliment the quality of my videos and have sought me out because my videos are "high quality". With that being said, the 7d mark ii definitely deliver some nice footage...but the camera is only 1 tool in a filmmakers arsenal. Lighting, camera movement, set design, composition and sound (along with many other things) can play a major role in the perceived quality of the image you can produce with any camera, including an iPhone.

here's a link to a music video i shot with the 7d mark ii

Remember, there's not a "perfect" camera/camcorder out there. They all have their pros and cons. Get one that you're comfortable learning on & working with, and one that has a form factor that works for you. Get it, learn it inside and out and enjoy making some videos.

My favorite shoot em up bang bang war movie is Enemy At The Gates.

My favorite sticks and stones war movie is Troy.

Look like a light leak video texture overlaid on top of the footage.
