Stuff we use:
CAMERA – This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse – http://amzn.to/2u66V1J
LENS – Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 – http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro – The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post http://amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder – If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought – http://amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS – Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times – http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER – Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 – http://amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING – We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution – https://goo.gl/56LnpM

No such thing as 'running out of ideas'. If anything it is the desire to risk large amounts of money on something new for fear of losing that money, not the new thing itself.
Look at car wheels, do they ever run out of ideas for designs?
This guy totally went tangent on the question. Has Hollywood ran out of ideas? His response: indie and international movies are available. WTF? The question was 'HOLLYWOOD'…
It's more about Hollywood financers no longer wanting to take a risk on an IP that isn't well-known to the public already. They want a very safe bet for their money instead of trying to create original art.
Hey! I know that guy!
Virtually everyone I talk to is tired of current Hollywood movies. In the 90s this general contempt didn't exist. Early 2000s…..this contempt didn't exist. It exists now and it's real.
There are some nice films I like really, problem is most of them are hard to track down, some might not even be translated and so on, especially when it comes to historical films. When it comes to fantasy films all I see is just laziness and political sabotage/pandering. There could be so many great fantasy films if they got better budgets and were not afraid to cast actors that are competent but not well known stars.
Yes it has. Even those who first came up with great new movie concepts have run out.
How about Indigenous stories? I don't mean Pocahontas or cowboys and Indians or anything involving European contact or colonialism. I mean, movies based on Indigenous folklore. The closest thing I can think of to come out of Hollywood is Disney's Moana. It doesn't even have to be a period piece. How about a superhero based on an Indigenous character like Nanibijou? Or a horror film based on the Wiindigo or Baagak? It doesn't have to be viewed as cultural appropriation if it involves Indigenous peoples in its production.
All of that drug use that happens in Hollywood they had to start paying for it eventually
How about this.. Hollywood hasn't run out of ideas they just keep allowing the same writers to do their creative work. I go to the movies to buy the popcorn then back to my house to stream a classic. This is what I do because I'm tired of spending my money for a family of three only to walk out and just say why? I write my heart out every week and do you think Hollywood's gonna come knocking on my door for something different? I'm not betting on it. Writing is like college sports. You get your best game by athletes who play the game for nothing. Once athletes start getting paid for what they once loved doing for nothing, the drive over time in my opinion diminishes. Ask any writer who works a full time job, has a family and lives from check to check if he makes time for writing. Chances are he will say yes and with that VERY little time he has to write, he will throw his heart and soul into. So, Hollywood, you want some great content then step out of your bubble and stop filling those writing gaps with the same writers. With 7 billion people in the world I can't imagine not being able to find a few unknown writers or stories to take a chance on.
Hollywood hasn't run out of ideas, it's run out of direction. Captain Marvel scored 79% on Rotten Tomatoes and 45% from the public – you know, the people who pay to watch the movie. That's a yawning chasm of difference. But yeah, go ahead and keep thinking J J Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and an endless diet of preachy, politically charged and divisive politics churned up with spectacle is what the paying movie goer wants, not… you know… great characters and plot.
Hollywood is about 4 studios all run by the same group with the same belief system. They are champions of diversity except when it comes to ideas and who owns the studio.
It's not a lack of ideas. It's a lack of desire to put money behind them. Marvel Hero 3 is pretty much guaranteed to make a little less than Marvel Hero 2, so the investment money and assets and studio time go to Marvel Hero 3.
This is what happens when any art becomes too corporate; the art existed for its own value, and eventually was turned into a product produced to create revenue. Eventually it dies or is supplanted by art that catches people's hearts and the cycle repeats.
Hollywood has not run out of ideas. They are just afraid to greenlight them.. if a movie fails a studio could lose Millions and get the executive who greenlit it FIRED.
So they play it safe and keep making sequels of proven franchises
“…You can never run out of the Human experience.” …Jeez.
Easy to blame Hollywood for playing it safe. The movie goers buy the tickets.
still_hollywooding?
Solo lost money
No- the ideas are out there they just don’t want to pay for original fare. They, the brain dead want to write the crap, avoid the pay out.
No doubt it's the reason spongeboy never ends for real.
