I will add a resounding echo to everything Phillip has said... the man knows whereof he speaks. Having done a few lo-budgets myself, I've learned that the single best thing I can do on a production is to KEEP IT SIMPLE.

Also, one thing to be VERY aware of... At the end of the day, if you deliver BAD production audio -and believe me, it's far easier to do then you would like- the fact that there was no money, and that they didn't hire an experienced mixer, and that everyone understands that - will mean NOTHING. You WILL take the fall if the audio fails - count on it! Harsh, but very,very true...
Not saying DON'T do it, just saying - know the potential dangers ahead!
