Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section
I started brickfilming in September 2009 and I haven't made much progress since, I have only around 15 minifigures, a digital camera with no tripod, and no base plates. This is my youtube account: http://www.youtube.com/user/FilmsLego
I am considering buying minifigures,plates, and a webcam from the BiM shop, is that a good idea?
It is a good idea to buy baseplates and minifigures. A digital camera is fine while you build your LEGO collection and make a few brickfilms.
Base plates are a MUST.
Minifigs would be good as well.
It might also help to view tutorials on how to make your animation smoother.
After over four years, I still use a digital camera. And iMovie.
I would recommend just buying a base plate, and working from there. Huge sets aren't too important when you're starting off. As long as you have minifigs, you should be good.
Practice makes perfect. 
All the stuff in the BiM store is the stuff that is widely recommended for brickfilming by the community, so that's a great place to start.
