Scarcity is the spark that ignites creativity.
Put another way, look how many shite films Hollywood makes, and they have top gear.
Great gear will never save a lack of creativity, lack of vision, etc.
- ska 3y agoOther than robustness, 'pro' gear mostly expands the range of parameters you can push and still get a decent shot. It's not going to give you an eye. Elsewhere in thread it's correctly noted that in a lot of cases lighting is more important that cameras anyway. But similarly, you have to know how to set up - same applies though, the gear can't do the setup for you.
- autoexec 3y ago> look how many shite films Hollywood makes, and they have top gear. You can't even judge the output of the gear by what Hollywood puts out. Maybe the gear does make a huge difference. For all we know every shot out of the camera is breathtaking, but it doesn't matter if by the time it gets to the screen they've barfed orange and teal all over it, darkened it to the hide bad CGI, and edited it to assault the viewer with a muddy blur of special effects and fast cutting.
