My takeaway is that skills in lighting and cinematography go a long way, so long as the camera is of a certain minimum quality. That was my experience with 35mm still cameras. I didn't have the top of the line lenses and body but with good lighting and composition and subject, I got some decent photos at least.

A good photographer/cinematographer with subpar equipment is going to beat an amateur with all the gear. Limitations bring the best creativity. I love my 50mm prime for that same reason, you have to adapt to what you have, and the art comes out better for it.
