Hello all,
I'm new to the site and very thankful for the information I've read on this forum. I have a few questions that I didn't find in the list and hope you call can share your expertise!
I will be filming several deaf professors who will be lecturing on various topics. These presenters will be using sign language so I must make sure to find a lighting system that will reduce the shadows and highlight the hands. I will be using a green screen for their powerpoint presentations as well. The "studio" will be in my garage with no natural light.
I am looking for a reasonably priced lighting kit that will satisfy those requirements. I've seen the kits sell on Amazon and Ebay for $180-$250 but they all seem to be the same. I have a budget of $500 max for all the lights, stands, and green screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I just bought a Sony HDR-CX580V for $700 because I was told that the 60fps would be best for shooting signing hands. Was that necessary? I know Sony products are known for higher visual quality but could I have found something better for a lower price?
Thank you for your help and I can't wait to read your reply!
