Depends on what kind of kickstarter it is. If you want it to look and sound really good, you'll need to hire someone. I would like to point out that the most important thing in any video is sound. People will put up with a lot visually, but your message will be lost if your sound is really bad.

Buying is probably a bad idea, even if you do decide to do it yourself. If you want to get a bunch of friends to do this, contact your local camera shop and see what they have to rent. You can get pricing and such this way.

Minimum requirements:

  • DSLR camera
  • Prime lens (one that can shoot medium and close up shots - the shop can recommend one),
  • Cards to save video on for the camera. You'll need at least 2.
  • Something for recording sound.
  • A card to save sound on. Sound files aren't huge, a single card will probably be fine.
  • External hard drives to save video on from the camera. A 2-4Tb drive should do fine. USB3 or Thunderbolt is going to be best.
  • A computer that can read both the sound and video cards, then transfer the contents on to the external hard drive.

    Ideal crew:

  • Director of photography (camera person)
  • Camera assistant (director of photography will have someone in mind)
  • Sound person
  • Gaffer who can do lighting
  • A runner who is in charge of getting food and anything else that was forgotten
  • An actual director. This can be a friend who manages everything.

    You'll also need someone to edit the video. Have the director of photography talk to the video editor before the shoot to ensure they coordinate formats.

    For finding people to hire, check meetup.com. I bet there's some kind of webseries/independent film/video people thing going on relatively close to you.

    One thing to keep in mind is to practice your video before hand and have it down pat before you get in front of a camera. You're going to get worn out faster than you'd think you would, and you'll get through everything faster if everyone who will be seen/heard has practiced.

    Here are the steps I'd recommend you take:

  1. Find a location to shoot your video. Make sure the time/date/pay are taken care of before you hire your crew.
  2. Hire the crew.
  3. Give the crew at least a couple of hours to scout the location. They will bring sound and light equipment that will work best for that location. Point out where you want to be. They'll tell you if it's possible and where the cameras will go. Ask how long they will need to set up, and ensure that the person in charge will be there and inside before they arrive.
  4. Have a rehearsal in the location the day/night before. Invite the crew. Bring gaff tape that is a bright color and mark the places that the people who will be in front of the camera will stand or sit. Don't use duct tape unless you enjoy picking sticky bits out of carpeting and explaining the brand new bald spot.
  5. Crew arrives for filming. (1-2 hours before film time)
  6. Cast arrives and gets made up/does final runthrough. (1 hour before film time)
  7. Film
  8. If the crew has been there for 3 hours, order food and have it delivered. This will likely take about an hour to arrive. Stop working for at least an hour for everyone to eat. DO NOT ABUSE YOUR CREW.
  9. More filming. If this section approaches 3 hours, order food again.
  10. You should be done with filming by now. If you're not, prioritize the stuff that ABSOLUTELY needs to be done at this point. If anything isn't absolutely necessary, toss it.
  11. Pay the crew.
  12. Crew cleans up. Remove any tape that's been put down.
  13. Deliver video to the editor
  14. Work with the editor to make sure you're getting what you want.
  15. Pay the editor/receive finished video.

    Random stuff you might not have thought of:

  • If you want music in your video, find some music in creative commons that you like or have a friend create some for you. Make sure the license matches for-profit usage.
  • The crew will not bring food. Part of the deal is providing food for them. Make sure there's a water source available. Coffee at the beginning of the day is always welcome.
