Topic: Does it matter what you shoot on? There’s a lot of debate out there about whether the choice of camera matters when you are making a film. A lot of people are heard saying “story is king” and “A fancy camera doesn’t equal a great film.” which is true, but does it matter what you shoot on?

Topic Questions: So, does it matter what you shoot on? If the camera does matter, why? Should you buy a new camera or just shoot on what you have available? When is the right time to upgrade your camera? What if you can’t afford the camera you need to tell your story? Why do you think so many people are preaching “It’s not about the gear - story is king”? Are people taking “The camera doesn’t matter?” out of context?

Goodfellas The story of Henry Hill and his life through the teen years into the years of mafia, covering his relationship with his wife Karen Hill and his Mob partners Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito in the Italian-American crime syndicate.

Topic Questions: Is Hollywood afraid of change? Are people not going to see original films? What side affects are we seeing from the REBOOT generation? Is a remake ever warranted?
