What type of equipment should a starter filmmaker get?

Ok, I'm starting with filmmaking and need some help figuring out if I got the right stuff.
Nikon D90 and a autofocus zoom lens a boom mic, final cut studio 2, cheap tripod. Is this good enough to get me started to further learn more and grow in the field? I'm 13 btw.

Okay no one else wanted to answer on this one. So here I go (I own a D90). I do not recommend this CAMERA for Video work. It does not offer a mic input plug/port, so you can't use any other mic other than the built in mic. (unless doing a post edit merge) Second the auto focus lenses do not provide continuous auto focus during live view recording. Also it records at 720 and an odd frame rate.

Conclusion, get a Video Camera do do videos and a Camera for Photography, Just my opinion
