DIY Lighting
I just picked up a set of lights and am about to go about modifing them for video use. The light set cost me just under JP\10 000, about USD$80, and consists of 3 8"x6" 500w halogens on adjustable 6' stands and one 6"x4" 150w. I have a couple of questions, hopefully someone will have an answer for.
1. Anyone know of an inline dimmer that will handle 500w? I found a 150w one here in Japan but need 3 500w ones. I though about building a control box but it would end up to bulky and heavy and I really need the set to be extremely portable.
2. I'm going to add some barn-doors and want to know if I should build in some kind of gel holder.
As shooting with artificial light is something I don't have a lot of experience with any ideas or tips would be helpful.
