Hi, 1-I am building a DIY fluo light rig for a music video. The hardware store guy has OSRAM OEM ballasts, but the specs says 25 KW. Since I am used to see KHz, I was wondering if someone knows what it means. How fast could I set my shutter with that? 2- Are daylight balanced tungsten lights...

Hi, I have a stage, 12 feet wide by 12 feet deep. One model on stage to shoot. What would be the difference between putting one diva lite 400 on both sides in front of the model, and putting one 2 bank 4' foto flo (Vertically) on both sides? I mostly do weddings, but I just got into doing...

Hi Everyone. I did something bad: I put the chroma at +2 on my hvx200, using the cine-like D setting. Result: The red background in the picture is overly saturated. Could someone tell me how to salvage the footage? I would like to de-saturate the red, without washing out the skin tones too...
