Video Lighting

Wow!  Do you have any idea how bright 1120 watts is?  Here’s a hint.  Can you say “burnt retinas?”  I mean we are talking BRIGHT!!!

I’ve just gained this knowledge after my new video lights arrived.  We did a quick set up in the living room and got this:

Did I mention this is BRIGHT?  The photo above was taken while the lights were covered with a thin fabric scrim.  Even so, my eyes were still hurting from looking at them.

The lights are definitely going to make a big difference, as shown in the still shot below.  Notice how much brighter the love seat is than the room behind it.

Next, I need to learn about light placement and see if I can fit them, the camera, and me into my crowded studio.  I’m looking forward to this continuing adventure!

    Just a word from your cheering section! Your fans are also looking forward to this video adventure! You seem to be really working hard at producing some quality stuff and I for one can’t wait to see the outcome and perhaps have access to the fruits of your very hard labor!
