I don't like telling really talented people who are amazing what they should do. I'm just going to let them be. It has to be complete freedom - creativity has to be complete freedom.
Basically, if you shoot your own stuff, you can just pick up a camera and some wireless microphones, grab a couple of LEDs, and you're off and running. And if you don't shoot your own stuff, you can just grab one other person to do camera and you can learn how to do the sound, and you're off and running.
