Video production can cost 0 (the team pays it all), 50 (hey, burgers for everybody), 1,000 (cool, we can hire a sound producer and more), 10,000 (your van will pick you up at 7AM)... etc...

The simple answer to your question is "No, starting a YouTube video channel does not require a huge budget." There are YouTube channels that consist only of videos made using smartphones.

If you want to shoot for higher production values than that, you should be more specific in your question and you might get a more specific answer. But the simple answer is: if you have a smartphone with video capabilities, you can start a YouTube channel with just that.
