I'm a fledgling DVX-100A user that needs to light a series of interviews (one camera, often with florescent office lights overhead, possibly using a green screen/ SM Ultra key combo). I'm thinking that since each "set" (office) can have a bit different lighting that I use a consistant lighting setup.
I'd like to build a compact and easy to transport kit that would offer at least 3 lights (with stands!) & hopfully a softbox (for that softish look you know!) and whatever else I can grab for around $1700.
I've read several articles on "how to light your set on a Home Depot budget" and seen one light "kits" for $3000. There must be a solution somewhere between these two price points, right?
I'm really quite overwhelmed and intimidated with the many lighting products out there, and frankly don't have a clue about lighting hardware. In theory, I understand how to light, but have very little practical experience...yep, I'm new at this.
Any of you with experience in lighting hardware, and compassion for a somewhat limited budget want to share?
Thanks! - P
