If i may, i'm not sure how much real filmmaking experience you have because if you knew even the basics you would know that the only thing that got cut out of the budget is the $15k for the high end camera rental (out of say $300k total budget). And even that is dubious as i have worked with both 5D and 7D and if i was going to shoot a film that has potential to be projected theatrically those DSLRs are simply not sharp enough because to get the HD signal the camera rejects every 2nd (maybe even every 3rd) line of resolution (but they are very good for HD web and SD DVD).
Being able to get exposure without lights was with us since the late 60s. Lights are not used just to get the exposure (again, i'm sorry, but it only shows your limited understanding of lighting) but to achieve effect and for that you need lights.
In other words nothing has changed. I'm on a pre pro to shoot 2.2 mil feature film and even though the producer keeps on nagging me to cut down the camera budget we still go with something that delivers images that can hold up on the big screen (Sony F35) -- even though as indie films go it most likely will never play on a big screen other then in some film fest.

- I am simply stating that with a stock camera - out of the box - no lighting, you can achieve phenomenal results.Machuse
