Have to buy a light set but...
Hola guys,
i have to buy a set of light for my interview in indoor locations....I ve just bought 2 500w Ianiro lights. What else do u suggest me 2 buy? thx |
There is probably a thousand ways to skin this cat.
I have found that a softbox (I own a Coollights Flo light softbox) with an eggcrate works well as a mainlight. (45 out and above) I add a Lowel Prolight on a boom (with a snoot the light) at the end of a boom for hairlight (sometimes adding gels for desired effect.) I also use a reflector for fill (can stand mount it on an arm), and have another prolight and some tiny Sima lights to use as "kickers. It is a slight variation on the theme espoused in the Vortex video "How to Light Interviews". I like the ease and effect is can produce. I also like the Vortex warm cards, FWIW. |

Do you have some way to control them? Barn doors, flags, reflectors? Do you have stands for them? A way to transport/protect them, case? Do you have stingers for them? Once you answer a few basic questions you will get more help. |

sorry for forgetting to write it! |

I'm no expert on lighting (I'm no expert on anything, for that matter), but in my very humble opinion, with your two Ianiros & barndoors & stands you're already good to go. FWIW: when I have to fly and take with me the bare minimum, I just carry 1 (one) Lowel Pro-Light w/barndoors (250W): that's it. In a pinch, one-point lighting will do (while minimizing set-up time!); two-point lighting is luxury; three-point lighting is an obscene display of scarce resources and requires an inordinate amount of set-up time (just kidding, of course, but you see what I mean) BTW: with those Lowel Pro-Lights I mentioned (Lowel | Pro Pack One-Light Kit | P2-102 | B&H Photo Video) you get a lot of bang for your buck: cheap, lightweight, light is focusable, very flexible barndoors...; check'em out!
