What do “mid-tier productions” look like? A regular show with all the trimmings, just shot with no-name cast and an phone?
In seriousness, technological advances can't be ignored. I carry around a compact camera that doubles as a 4K video camera that can basically see in the dark in my daily-carry bag, and it cost less than a month's rent. A few of those, some Zoom sound recorders, and Kdenlive makes for a really inexpensive yet capable setup for indie movie type projects.

Oh I don't doubt the viability. I'm genuinely curious what changeling means by "mid-tier".
