Too many people thinking they can buy their way into getting a good image. One of the reasons why so many great films haven't been made.
Kubrick was a genius in trying to get Napoleon's budget down for the next investor, if only people though like Kubrick in that instance rather than when he was verbally abusing Shelly Duvall.
Like the more adaptable you are with a camera and less you are in perfection, the easier things get for you.
Like instead of spending 50k on a camera give your model star treatment so she feels great being photographed instead of making her feel cold and wet and untreated (though in all honesty some women have a kink in being mistreated. Don't know why that happens).
Anyway just be adaptable like your local news guy who did an interview in a shitty lighting scenario involving an interview about a black teenager running facing police brutality in the middle of the night.
