Hi Guys,

I'll be playing around with Metal Halide as a cheap alternative to expensive HMIs.
I want this even and natural look in MTVs. How do you set this up?

Will 2 Metal halide 400 watts (40,000 lumens each), total of 800W (80,000 lumens) suffice?
Like 2 Big foamcore to bounce the lights off to get even coverage.

The best way to find out is to try.

It looks like in those videos they are creating a very large soft light source. So either bouncing off of foam board or shooting through large diffusion panels.
 
Thank you Tony. I watched all your videos in youtube. I'm one of your loyal subscriber and I admire your work.

I look up to people like you who spend time,
money and effort to teach newbies like us without expecting any return.

I also like polcan99. You guys are the best!
 
Thanks cam!

It's always great to hear that we are helping people out.

Stay tuned cause I plan on doing a tutorial on large, soft lighting soon.
