So because of the Ghetto place that I'm renting at, this is what I've got for lights.

1K redhead

650 pepper

600 redhead

Can I do somethin with these? Should I get 2 1ks instead? That's really my only other option :s

I just want to get nice even looking lighting for a 2 person scene at a kitchen table. Uber simple.

Sure, why not? Heck, it's probably overkill. Just get some diffusion for the lights, a couple of sheets of foamcore or reflectors, and you should be fine.

If memeory serves me correct redheads are openface lights, so the only fresnel you have is the pepper. Id use it where you need even controllable lighting the most, usually the key. Then place the 600 red head as a backlight with a bounce to do the fill. If you can't get enoguht light off of the bounce maybe try the 1k. Then use which ever light you have left to light the set. You will probably have to be flexible in the blocking of your actors, maybe side by side instead of face to face.

Your going to be challenged with that few lights but be creative with bouncing light around and you should be able to pull it off.
