Hi,
I have a new client(my old friend) and
he wants to me 2 kind of weekly video for his new website.

one is a kind of tutorial video (man, some product on desk , speak with hand gesture.......)
and another one is simple product video(CU, panning, rotating....concept like commercial)

he wants to make video with low budget(of course!!)

I worked for video few years, but I'm not expert for lighting.
just know some basic (3 point lighting, exposure...)

Q1. Is there any lighting package that good to both kind of video?
I think lowel DV creator 55 pack is nice to budget. but I don't know it's good for both.
please recommend some nice package at reasonable price.

Q2. Recommend Book or site for product shot lighting (like product commercial)
I have few books for basic lighting, but I want to know more about commercial concept shot.

and if you know any tips about lighting for my case, please reply for me.

ps. I'm not american, and sorry for my bad english:embarasse
 
If you can find the lighting series by Dean Collins, he goes over fundamentals of effective lighting and shows the steps he takes in solving a particular lighting problem.

It makes the whole process a lot easier to understand.

This is for still photography, but the basics apply to any visual medium.
