what kinds of gear do you have for use in video editing / shooting. im supposed to be quoting for a complete setup for my new job and just hope I dont miss anything I might need. Things like lighting, bluescreens. Thanks

do you own gear or are you asking for rental rates + overhead / labor? is your new job freelance or is a company purchasing this stuff? hopefully the latter. if that's the case and its professional digital video, I would say around 5k. Check your email.

it really depends on your

All of the gear is being bought by the company and I'm permanent, not freelance.
So far on the list is
2 x Canon XL2
Quad G5
All the usual software like Final Cut, After Effects, etc.
green/blue screen, lighting.
What I'm after is all the small useful stuff that would get used in day to day filming and editing.

oops
what o meant to say was it really depends on your business setup when it comes to owning video shooting equipment.
sometimes it's safer to rent the equipments and studio and charge them to your client.

so, again 2 canon xl2s and a G5... awesome... for 1.5 people? what's the job? some people would do just fine with only that, some people need specific lighting kits, boxes, etc and other need artificial rain makers. it all comes down to your company and what they're doing. if you're more specific, more people here could help you.

any other ideas?

a tripod perhaps?

actors. at least two. maybe more depending on how big of a project it is.
remember that they will get tired from time to time, so you should make sure you have a backup or "stunt double" on hand as well.
all kidding aside, is that cannon still the camera of choice? I would have thought the 10bit log cameras would be prefered these days.
