  1. There is always a chance for color temp differences between lights, even among those of the same make and model. Assuming that the power source for each light is consistent, the problem you are describing might be due to the age of the elements/bulbs. The elements/bulbs can change their color output as they are used. Now, let's say you just picked up your lighting package from the rental company, among your heads one may have 1,000 hours of use, and another 200 hours, and so on. This will mean that each of your heads (even if they are all HMI or tungsten) could produce varying color temps. It's good practice to let your lights warm up, then using a color meter you can determine the differences between each light, and gel them accordingly. If you have ever worked on a big production with lots of lights, you might notice a strip of tape on each head with markings like "1/4 CTO", "1/2 minus green", etc. These are usually the designations for which gels to put on the lights so they are all at at the same temperature. Hope this helps.
  2. I am looking to shoot a short on my HVX. We are on a very limited budget, but I want to rent a 35mm adapter (letus or mini35) and a few prime lenses to use with it. However, it seems like most rental houses in NYC require a hefty cash deposit, and or a large insurance policy for any sort of rental. Any advice as to where in NYC one could rent this equipment without too much up front? Also, what sort of support gear (i.e. rods, shoulder mounts, etc,) should I plan on with the HVX w/adapter setup? Thanks
