Mr. Mullen,
I am just starting out in this. (I am using DV, making my own shorts).
Studying lighting is my present focus and I need equipment.
I asked Roy Wagner about "No Buget DV lighting" and he gave me a helpful response suggesting a 3 lamp "dedolight" lighting kit. I have looked at them and they seem very nice and after a while I might even be able to afford one (about $5k).
My question to you is what to do in the interum.........I am in a rual area and have no place to rent lights, so I am looking at buying some "lower end" lighting kits.
Should I just improvise with "Home Depot" stuff and concentrate on compostition, doing the best I can, or buy some lower end stuff made to work together (i.e. with tripods/softboxes/barndoors, etc.....)?
I really plan on making the investment in dedolights eventually.
Thanks much,
kaos
