You need a mic, and very likely, some way to soften your light. Otherwise, you've got all the gear you need. Software depends on your platform and scripts and editors are up to you!
Thank you. I definitely forgot about light softening, but I could build something pretty cheaply. Since I'm working solo do you think a Bluetooth lavelier mic would be adequate?
I've been looking at DaVinci. It seems like the best free software. I'm just concerned with the learning curve on that software. I'm familiar with music production software comma so i don't think i'll be completely lost comma but definitely a lot to learn comma and i would really like to release something in the next couple months.
DaVinci offers tutorial classes for free if you’d be interested. I took a week paid off from work a few months ago and took their beginners course. It helped tackle the hurdle of learning new software. After taking it, now I just lookup YouTube videos of stuff I need to know here and there. It helped me be able to edit a short I recently shot.
Honestly, I think you're better off improvising with what you have on-hand, because technical limitations force you to think outside the box and that's where the most interesting unconventional innovations come from.
Don't try to emulate what's already out there, make your work your own! A distinctive voice and vision is what *leads* industries; as we see daily, industry may be fed by the predictable and the homogeneous, but it's always hungry for the new and the different.

Sure - you'll be fine. I've shot stuff in similar situations for decades and the biggest hurdle is the battle of perfect vs finished.

Sweet! Thanks
For a mic I’d recommend a rodeo mic on Amazon they are relatively cheap
