Yes, I'm 17 and yes im not from the best part of the town, but unlike alot of the other idiots running around vandalising cars, getting drunk most nights, and just causing hassle for everyone, i'm actually trying to do something constructive with my time. Sorry if im not professional enough for you, but i've been researching as much as I can into lighting, as I don't have the funds to goto film school, i'm going to have to make the most of the free education I can get from the internet, forums like this, and some friends in the industry for now. "Again; this is not a forum for the vague. $1,000 pounds max? For the whole film? the night shoot? the crane? I assume you mean you don?t have any money." Well, I don't have an abundance of money, altogether I have at the moment 3000 pounds ($5,600 at the moment) which I could spend, mostly saved up from working last summer, but I don't plan on shooting anything until August time so by then I should have alot more stashed away, and also alot more knowledge. This isn't going to be a feature length film. I don't really want to blow all my money unless I really have too. Throw some 1/4 cto? What are these? Thanks All

Hey Yer i've changed my profile for you all now! I didnt really bother with it to begin with. Yer i was looking for more of a lighting rig to use rather than how to create mood, style etc Thanks kevin and J-Ro, i've got a better idea of how to go about this now! Few Questions: Whats this PAR? and also 3/4 backlight position?

Well today i managed to get in contact with a good friend who can sort me out some lights very cheap, im not sure what he has but its a studio so imagine they have alot. So what sort of lights will i need? anything i should look out for? cheers

Well the cheaper the better really, unless i can find some source of funding, ill be looking at 1000 pounds probably max. I don't know if this would work but could we possibly use one or two big diffused lights?

Hi all, Well, our film requires a big chunk to be shot at night, out in the countryside. Now im no whizz with lights, so what sort of setup am i going to need? just one big light to bring the brightness up?? Thanks for any help. Also does anyone know of any good stores in the UK that sell lights, all the places ive found on the internet are american.
