Start with these guys

Look under consignment items "full sound package" This would be the
extreme limit (for now) of buying what you needed.
A one time expensive purchase but it would get you up and running
quickly. Knowing how to run it all is a different story.

You can never have to much gear for this type of work but that said you
sure can end up with a lot that doesnt get used very often.
A top five of gear priority purchases is a good idea.

1. Mixer (channels depending on need 4-10)
2. excellent shotgun mic ($1000-1500)
3. Boom pole as long as you think youll need (feature's 12'-16'-20+,
eng 9'-12')
4. recorder (Tascam HDp2? $1000- cantar $14000 Sound Devices 2-4K)
5. Wireless mics 2-8 of these, good ones several thousand $$

cables, cart, bag, pelican cases, adapters, powers supplies, mic
suspensions, windscreens, antennas, stands, lav mics, clips, mics, more
mics,

And now adays a computer also is not a bad thing to have and in some of
our cases an essential tool. Run metacorder need a mac, digitla file
transfers, burning, copying.

There are hundreds of essential items that go unmentioned in order to
make a shot sound good.

Just a start but hope it helps.

Sorin

You should also do your friend a favor and tell him that most
professional sound people who do double system sound carry between
$50,000 to $100,000 worth of sound gear with them -- in some cases, even
more. Oh, and then there are the many years of experience to learn how
to do all the magic things that make us so beloved.

It still amazes me that producers, directors and in fact most people,
still get/have the idea that all there is to production sound is the
equipment. Is this what they are teaching in film school and such?
People, it's time to wise up and get a clue!
