Shadow puppets prove you can make something out of almost nothing if you put your hands in the right light.

Resources matter less than placement. Two hands and one lamp are nearly nothing, and arranged well they make a rabbit a whole room can see, because the result came from position rather than materials. Most of the time what stops you is not a shortage of equipment but not knowing where to stand.

Stop waiting for better gear this week and work with what is on the desk. Record on your phone, train in the park, write in your notes app on the bus. Get the arrangement right first, and buy things later if you still need them.
