Okay I am joking… but read on…
Had a strange experience recently, we were shooting a few interviews in Europe and the weather was pretty hot, and the folks being interviewed were indigenous to the region – I mention this because it makes what I am about to say even more strange.
We set up a 3 way interview in a large airy room and we used a large bay window as the key light with LED lights as backlights and fills. One of the individuals asked if we could move the LED600 CooLights panels further away from behind him (about 5 feet away already) as he was burning up with the heat from it???
I checked the unit and it was of course completely cool, I checked the area behind him and could feel no heat from any other source; I mentioned to him that these lights were LED and not tungsten and therefore not to be concerned as heat would not be a problem.
However, he kept looking over his shoulder at the light panel, started rubbing the back of his neck, and was beginning to sweat, his skin colour was also taking on a flushed look.
Although the interview was very relaxed, they were all good friends/colleagues, I can only assume he was a little anxious with the interview (though he appeared relaxed) and this was having a kind of psychosomatic effect.
Well, that’s a new one for me…
