There are a few threads like this in the Filmmakers section here, you might want to check there.

It really depends on your budget here. You could spend 50,000 and still go much better.

I'd get a really, really nice camera and a good mic, shotgun or something.

Not a problem, and I know where you're coming from. Being a teenager, I certainly can't afford a camera like this. But if you want a really, really nice one, that one's probably worth the money. It might be slightly cheaper on Amazon.com or something, but I'm not sure.

You can get some really nice light sets for about $500.

As far as mics, I don't know as much.
