Swingers for instance had to be shot on short ends. http://grantland.com/features/an-oral-history-swingers http://grantland.com/features/an-oral-history-swingers. A lot of other movies as well (It was mentioned in Dolemite Is My Name). Clerks was black and white because of cost. Gimbals, scouts, dangerous stunts and everything else can be done cheap. You can pirate editing software if you have to. I've seen nothing to say Snowbrawl had CGI or expensive post production applied. Cheap film has been the holey grail for a long time. Now we get to see did the artificial barrier of filming cost improve film quality, or did we miss out on great directors, actors and films. I see no proof either way yet.
