Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / video director | | English term or phrase: bits of kit | あるビデオ・ディレクターのインタビュー記事です。お金になるテレビのコマーシャルと、本当にやりたいミュージックビデオの製作とでバランスを取ることが重要と言っている、下記の文に出てきました。
For any young director, I think it’s important to balance decent commercials that pay well and that allows you to have money to expand your own ‘craft’ and take on new ideas and new bits of kit; and balance that with music videos that you want to make. |

48 mins confidence: （新しい）道具一式の一部
Explanation:
kitはここでは道具一式のことを言っているのではないでしょうか。テレビから稼いだお金で技術を磨き、新しいアイデアを考えて、それなりに必要な新しい道具一式の一部を揃えて自分のやりたいミュージックビデオに取り入れる、ということを言いたいのだと思います。bitsはここでは少しとか一部という意味だと思います。
