G+_Brent Bye Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Tom's home studio lights: Keylight - 1-Kino Flo Parabeam 200 with DMX control and 55K tubes Backlights - 2-ADJ Micro Wash LED WWCW - does both 32K and 55K Background brick up/down lights - custom LED ribbon strips from ledwholesalers.com + dimmer control unit. Adhered inside 'C' channel aluminum door jam strips from Home Depot for easier mounting and side light spill control. Low Budget lighting options: Keylight option 1 - 4' fluorescent shop fixture with cool whites (requires custom camera white balance for light to appear color correct) Keylight option 2 - multiple clamp lights from hardware store fitted with either @5000K(daylight) or @3000K(indoor) CFL "swirly" bulbs. Diffusion gel or translucent paper applied out front of multiple lamps sources to unify them as one source of light emission. Backlight option - 1 or 2 clamp lights with CFL swirly bulbs or incandescent bulbs. Ambient light for room - China ball from hardware store or Ikea with ceramic lamp socket and wire installed internally. If you choose to go with clamp lights for any of your light sources, you can purchase high output color correct Kino Flo brand CFL 'swirly' light bulbs from http://www.filmtools.com The kino CFLs are more color correct and output more light than swirly bulbs you can buy at a hardware store...but of course those features come at a higher price. If choosing between warm white, cool white or daylight swirly bulb CFLs at a hardware store, consider the potential ambient light coming into your shooting space. In most cases, it's a good idea to go with daylight balanced bulbs because most home studios have daylight from outside spilling into the shooting space. Even if your home studio has no daylight, it is a better idea to use daylight bulbs and set your camera white balance to exterior daylight setting. This is because the CRI index rating (color accuracy representation) of the daylight CFLs available at hardware stores is more accurate in the daylight models when compared to the warm tones of the interior and cool white bulb versions. It will keep your on-camera persons skintones from appearing to shift to magenta or a strange orange or green shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
