I remamber TRYING to make a no-budget video thing for a school project once, and it was a nightmare! I think the biggest trick is just finding a group of people who are willing to really give their all to help you out. Anybody who says they'll help out for free but then ends up being half-assed about it will end up ruining a lot of plans. Also, good acting really matters, even if you're just playing around.

I remember there being a great tip in the Clerks commentary... get lots of random footage of things in the room, actors' feet, whatever, that you can cut away to for a second if you want to splice two takes together without any seams showing. Brilliant!
