Even ignoring the skills and time issue, I don't think it's currently
possible to do decent staged videography without a couple thousand
dollars in lighting and camera equipment (and even at then we're not
talking fantastic results).
So I've laid down the gauntlet and said it couldn't be done: So now
someone gets to come and prove me wrong and show me some excellent
work done on a small budget. :)

A couple years ago, someone (user:David Vasquez) made a wikinews video
brodcast that was very good. So i think it can be done, its just
rather difficult. (However it wasn't done on an extremely small
budget, but it wasn't hugely expensive either as far as i know). Links
