Fernando Alves Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Hello everybody, My first topic in this community. So, I am a editor and now studying cinematography. I am going to rent some equipments to test. Going to rent a studio for two days for this tests. I am going to shot some packshots and kind of short commercials for Instagram. And use this footage to build my cinematography portfolio. This my first test will be with a Canon C300 Mark II. My doubt is: What lens, ligth, equipments should I rent? I have a small budget. So far this is my list: Canon C300 Mark II 4 Arri 650 plus Monitor Panasonic BTLH 1760 Follow Focus Tripod Any suggestions? This is my first time making a list of equipments. So any help will be welcome. Thanks a lot, Fernando Alves Edited March 13, 2019 by Fernando Alves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Connolly Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If your doing pack shots - longer lenses work best. Something in the 85 to135mm range works for me. You might not need the follow focus - if your not pulling focus on shot Would probably need some softer lighting - either soft sources or lighting modifiers to make the Arri Frensels soft: e.g poly board or reflector, couple of flags, couple of C-Stands, maybe a dimmer...
