Partially OT: Lighting for Video

Baadil · 15th of February 2007 (Thu)

Hi,

Can someone recommend some lighting setup that I one can use for both videography and photography?

Thank you.

Almost any lighting system based on continuous lights will do double duty for video and still photography.

But, continuous lights are a significant compromise for still photography (compared to flash).

For even fair utility for still photography the lights must be of very high Wattage. A couple of 1000 Watt lights might be a good starting point.

But remember, these lights are not called "hot" lights by accident.

Lowel is a well known manufacturer of this sort of lighting, you might want to check out their website:

Enjoy! Lon
