Feel free to take that idea and run with it, we would love to see videos.

If you're strapped for cash: get quality audio first! You can take good enough web video using most smartphones or an iPad. Check out Rode's smarLav. It's $60 lav mic that uses your iOS device as a portable audio recorder. You can later sync audio in video editing software like Kdenlive (Ubuntu/linux) or Final Cut Pro or the Adobe CS/Creative Cloud apps. I have a Rode NTG-2 and it is an excellent microphone. Cheap handheld mics and Xbox headsets also work very well. If you can afford it, get a nice set of Sony or Sennheiser UHF wireless mics, as they work far better than the sub $150 VHF sets.
My lighting kit is primarily two
Z96 LED lights. The $40 cheap LEDs also work apparently, but it's nice to have a constant color temperature to work with.
That being said, don't stress on the components in your kit. Get a good script and set go from there.
I'll see what I can do on my end. There might be a way to make this work, as I think it's a great series to read.
