Bob Prichard Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I will be taping two guys playing one on one on an indoor half court. The industrial high energy lights way up on the ceiling beam straight down, so there is not much light on their sides. How can I beam some fill light to brighten things up? Are there any inexpensive lights that would fill this purpose? The camera will be about 10-15 feet away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going for a certain look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 What kind of lighting exists? Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide? The maintenance person/custodian should be able to tell you. In either case, don't expect good color rendition. If you want to light it more evenly, consider using a series of 24" paper lanterns with photofloods inside them, suspended above the court. You can augment this base level with some Kino(s) or Mole 2k softlights from the sidelines for fill. Keep the existing HID(s) off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
