Hi guys! I'm about to start a cooking tv program and the production house has already some cool lights (I think day are Philips) As we know is hard to get nice colors from this kind of "generic" lights. I know there is a lot of graphics and lights spectrums etc... but for a layperson is hard to understand... I wonder if there is some information or some photos or anything that a layperson could understand the principles of a good light source. do you guys think this exist? where can I find? thank you!!

Hi David! Thank you for your swift reply and great explanation! I'll try to do some sort of chimera on the Vista Beam bests kron

Hi Guys I'm shooting in a small studio and used a Kino Flo Vista Beam to make my fill light I chose this type of light to have a soft light but at the same time leaving more focused and not spread to the entire set. I'm not too happy with it because I think that's still a bit harsh Do you guys think an Arri with chimera and egg crate can produce a softer light than the Vista Beam? Thank you! marcelo kron

hey everyone, thanks for all the tips... in the end everthing worked out well, we ended up usinng arri's fresnels with some flags and lights on the ground were deleted in post production pushing down the blacks. regads marcelokron

Bul all will end up hitting the ground too. you have any suggestions on how to make everything 100% black? I will be using Canon 7D Thankyou for any help! marcelokron
