Nearly everyone on this network has a device that matches the above,
According to Pew research, 91% of US adults have a smartphone.
And yes, not all smartphone cameras are created equally, but I would argue (and in fact I *am* arguing) that it's better to produce the thing using whatever tools are available than it is to wait until you have better equipment.

Any laptop made within the last ... 15 years is probably capable enough to run a modern linux distribution (this is not the place to complain about linux) and a video editor like kdenlive and, having done so, it becomes as capable or more capable than basically any television studio prior to the proliferation of NLE. A single decade old laptop (one that can still be reliably picked up on the used market for $100 or so) can reliably be used to produce *and distribute* film and television, as long as you have access to a decent camera (and you probably do!)
