Or you could use a Sony a7S, which is perfectly capable of shooting films on normal lenses with no other lighting but candle light.
A significant portion of my short film "HOWTO: Demon Summoning" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZoiva3DfI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZoiva3DfI8) was shot with nothing but candle light last year. Four tealights, to be exact.
We just used a regular f/1.4 50mm Contax/Yashica lens on the a7s body, running at 40,000 ISO or therabouts.
The footage was a bit noisy as it came out of the camera, not aided by my shooting in LOG format without exposing as high as I should have done, but once we ran it through the Neat Video noise filter plugin it looks great.
I wrote a bit about the process over here: http://www.strangecompany.org/lessons-i-learned-from-my-first-live-action-short-after-nearly-20-years-of-animation/ http://www.strangecompany.org/lessons-i-learned-from-my-firs...
