Starting a Production Company

Okay im in currently am studying Electronic Media and Raymond Walters College in Ohio. E Media is basically everything from web design to graphic design to animation, photography, and cinematography. It is a descent program and we have had many students get offered jobs from big tv stations such as ESPN and MTV. i havent yet taken video production classes but i know the basics. I know what your thinking its a dumb idea for me to do this. Well i am 19 now and have been using photoshop since i was in the fifth grade so like when i was like 10. I know animation, photography, and graphic design. I think i know enough without school to do this and i already have a list of clients "whom im producing music videos for free to get my name out there" despite my lack of a video portfolio. Basically what I need to know is what equipment I will be needing.

What I have

  • 24 inch iMac "2 generations before the iseries processors. the last one they made with a black plastic back.
  • first i series maxed out Macbook Pro 17"
  • Canon 7D
  • around 7 lenses
  • Final Cut and CS5 master collection
  • friends

I think that should be a sufficient start right?:D

What i need to know is like things like Raid drives are they needed or what? Any advice on what else i would need would be greatly appreaciated.

Im thinking about names i have a really really clever name that im trying to get LLC on it or something not sure about the legal jazz yet.

Which is another thing i could need help with.
Any examples or starter tips for legal documents i would need?
I know this is more of a vfx site but i figure everyone here will still be able to help or does some input and ideas my way.

Thanks,
Patrick
