Lighting Scenes Thanks again David, I understand what you are saying, and yes I am more concern with light placement and composition (but also with how it will look in terms of color). I believe Alex O. answered my question. He had a similar question, and I went back and read the responses he got. You guys are so great for sharing. I really appreciate it. JS

Thanks David What I meant was if I light a scene... and photographed it with a digital camera (stills) will the lighting/scene look the same when I record it using a digital video camera (motion)? really what I am trying to do is practice lighting via a digital camera (stills) before I buy a digital video camera. I was hoping I could get an idea of what a lit shot would look like by using a digital camera (stills) before I brought a digital video camera (motion). You're saying it won't work? Also, I was applying the same theory to using a SLR 35mm Film camera - lighting the scene taking a photo and wondering would that give me a hint of what shooting the same lit scene on 16mm Arriflex would look like? Please anyone else who has an opinion on the topic, your words would be greatly appreciated. All comments are welcome...I am learning...thanks again David. Thanks JS js20705@aol.com

Lighting Scenes If my project will be shot using a digital video camera (i.e., Sony VX2000) can I practice lighting scenes by taking pictures with a SLR digital camera to get a sense of what the shot will look like? And the same question for Film will lighting a scene then shooting with a regular 35mm camera (i.e., Pentex K1000) give me a good idea of what the lighting will look like when I shoot with a 16mm Arriflex? Lastly, can I use the same lighting equipment that I use for photography for video/film? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks Jacob S.
