Hi Guys,

I'm shooting a training DVD for a cosmetics brand...

Lets start with what I have to utilize and go from there...

HVX200 (2) 8gb p2 cards,
Mk60 boom
1 lowel DP (1k)
arri 650
tota 500w
softbox 500w

The space is approx. 15' by 20'

The products are airbrushed cosmetics so I really want to get the vivid colors of the product on the skin, so I'm wondering if its going to be best to shoot this flat and then color correct in post to drag out the colors or set my pedestial down in camera to give me some contrast on the colors?

also with a Training DVD sort of shoot should I just be going for a well lit HD look or should I try and be creative with my lighting?

Thanks for all the help,

Justin
 
I'd shoot flat so as not to lose any detail I couldnt get back, but either would probably work well. Just dont go too low on the pedestal if you do.

For lighting I would light the talent traditionally but have fun with the background. Throw some splashes of color/shapes on the walls and make the place lively.
