What kind of light bank was it that Matt's kissing?

It is one of the Daylight balanced Home built Kinos my Dad, Gary, made. We ended up with about 6 of them and we used them to light almost all of Stricken. Since Shane let us shoot on his camera for Stricken we lent him our lights. It is all about sharing the love...:lipsrseal
 
Gary said it was a standard light with an electronic ballast, and daylight bulbs. He painted the back flat black and built mounts for the stands he made. It's not too hard to do. Check out THIS SITE they explain how you can do the same thing. OK, NOW. . . back to my film!

JK, I'm a hardcore DIY guy too and if gary hadn't built those, I probably would have, and I still plan too because I want to make a couple upgrades to his, like external switches to turn off individual bulbs to control amount of light, and 8 bulbs instead of 4!
 
Well editing is going great! I've had to figure out my way around a few bumps in the road, but so far it's looking phenomenal I should have a rough cut by Wednesday, sent off for scoring by Thursday, and hopefully finish the final in the next two weeks! I have to shoot a pickup shot tomorrow night, and one final shot, This next weekend!!! (Yes, I'll be using a placeholder for the final shot for scoring, but I know exactly what the shot is, so it will match perfectly) WOOHOO I didn't even think I would finish getting it shot with all the problems I ran into with scheduling, but now it is pretty much in the can, and soon it will be uploading! Extra Thanks to my awesome cast and crew for pulling the late night! Hopefully you guys like it!

Thanks for the Link Shane. I get it now. I have some of those exact diamond plate shop lights from my last films practicals. Never though about using them for lighting the set. I thought you guys were talking about something else.
Gracias!
 
Those are not what my dad used but they are close. I will see if he will post a DIY about his design sometime.:thumbsup:

Shane congrats on the successful edit so far!
 
Yep, you can use any fixture that will hold a high CRI color balanced bulb. (Kino bulbs CRI is rated at 95 if you have a color meter, you can check what kind of color output you get from the light) You can even buy Kino bulbs that will fit in a standard fixture. The trick is making sure that you have a good electronic ballast so there is no flicker. You can go to coollights.biz under DIY, they have an amazing 150W ballast, however it is a bit pricey! If you do some searching, you can find a cheap ballast that will do fine!. coollights also have a great reflector kit for putting behind the bulbs for increased output! They are pretty cheap for the reflectors!

We have a set of DIY kinos similar to that and love 'em. Didn't use them on The Tell, but they get a workout on a number of other projects.

Had a photographer in studio recently for an interview and he loved them, too.

Well of course when everything seems like it's going perfect, something happens! :nads:
Anyway, the rough cut should hopefully be done by Thursday, but I didn't say that it will! One can only take so many shots to the groin!

Wear a cup! You can do it!:nads:
 
LOL the cup is on as I edit away. It's actually a good thing that I got busy though, getting this job isn't really a bad thing, it's just that I have so little time! I wish this job was a week away, but no, it's a one day deal throwing off my editing groove! UGH!
 
OK, I know I should be working on my film, but instead, I'm in Santa Clarity shooting some killer footage. The problem is editing is not exciting to me. Well, I have to finish it by Wednesday and send it off to be scored. I'm worried I may not make the deadline! AND here I am shooting crazy stunts. Oh well, at least it's fun. I wish I had an editor that I could hand my footage to that I trust to make my film amazing. I really need to meet one of those guys! SOME DAY!
 
Love the results of your screen grabs. Did you really use a cell phone to shoot your short, or did I miss something in this thread that mentions a different cam?
