Hi Guys,

I would like to shoot small budgets music videos in future and would like to compose a kit of cool lights. This kit will be my first light kit.

I'm thinking to buy these lights:

2 x 600 LED Panel
2 x 650w Compact Tungsten Fresnel
2 x 1000w Compact Tungsten Fresnel
3 x Tungsten 1000w (110v) Bulb
3 x 650w (110v) Bulb
1 x 1000w Scrim Set
1 x 650w Scrim Set
1 x LED 600 Speed Softbox Kit

What you think about my choose? I have a Budget of 2500$. All these Lights costs 2524$ here: http://www.coollights.biz/

What would you buy there if you had 2500$ if you would like to shoot music videos?
 
Hi,

I answered your email as well. I would say its a tough order to get a package for $2500 that can do music videos. These are often large in scale and have 1 or more large trucks full of equipment to do them right including large HMIs and all kinds of grip equipment if the action is taking place outdoors. What you configured would probably be fine for a fairly confined subject without a lot of lighting necessary for background. Also if gelling fixtures to match (LED 600 to match tungsten or tungsten to match LED 600) you're losing some light as well. Hope this helps.
