Even if the gear is important for shooting a movie, what really will make or break your movie at the end of the day is the quality of your script and the talent of your production team and actors. Great movies are shot every day with very affordable cameras. This independent US short movie was shot for almost no budget at all with a consumer modell Canon HV20 which costs about 800.- EUR in your next supermarket.
