Hot take: Filming with my phone for 3 months taught me more than my first DSLR did.
The phone forced me to focus on lighting and sound first, not just gear. Anyone else find simpler tools actually make you better?

That pressure thing reminds me of my old band's garage recordings.

Totally, constraints force you to get creative.

Yeah, that line about constraints is so true. It's like when you have fewer options, your brain has to actually work to find a new way through. I've felt that a lot, @mia_hart90. Having limits can be frustrating at first, but it pushes you past the easy, obvious answers. You end up making something you never would have if you had all the freedom in the world. That pressure just forces a different kind of creativity out.
