YOUTUBER THE EVER-GROWING VIDEO OUTLET
MPB BACKS NEXT-GEN TALENT As official title sponsor of the Filmmaker of the Year contest, used kit specialist MPB makes a fitting partnership between a forward-thinking brand and one of the industry’s most prestigious honours. The world’s largest platform for used photo and video in use, out of landfills and in the hands of those who need it most. This recommerce model is not only smart business: it’s a greener and more inclusive way of working. MPB’s growth speaks for itself “We produced the show in part to demonstrate that there’s a better way for TV-scale content to get made,” reveals Danson. “Smaller crews working with leaner budgets can use modern cameras, lenses and storage to get the same output as a traditionally high-end piece. Our first four episodes received some great feedback and we”re looking to make more. While the channel is small, the principles of what it stands for could pave the way to a new kind of content production: broadcast-grade, podcast speed and indie budgets.” YouTube leads as the top platform for delivering video content, with the best creators producing engaging and well-shot videos for their own or a client’s channels. The category winner, and overall MPB Filmmaker of the Year, is Dominic Danson for his Forty Minutes With show that just oozes class. It is a long-form talk show filmed in broadcast quality and on Netflix-approved cameras.
– a remarkable 40% year-on-year increase, all driven by filmmakers who want to save money, reduce waste and still shoot with the best.

gear, MPB stocks a wide range of cinema cameras, mirrorless systems, camcorders, lenses and accessories – all professionally inspected, photographed and graded before going live on its streamlined website.

At the heart of the company’s ethos is a commitment to the circular economy: keeping equipment
of the Year, its commitment to championing talent and the planet couldn’t be clearer.
