Or if you're shooting a documentary in the wild. Or in tight = spaces in the city for that matter. I think the tools are still = relatively dictated by the project needs, whether it be Varicam, Arri, = Phantom, Red, DSLR, GoPro, etc., etc. I've not seen a Swiss Army camera = or post workstation (though some are quite versatile). I think being a = "Pro" is defined by using the right tools to deliver high quality = results on time, under budget, and to the client's = satisfaction...without ever freaking out :)
