well i would go for for kinos mounted to the roof of the train

Hi

 

I'm wondering what to chose for a serie of interviews I'm planning to shoot, and I'm hesitating between using the Kinoflo Diva-light 400 or the Kinoflo Double 4' or possibly 4bank. I'd like some advice on evaluating one vs the other. I have worked with a DP that uses the Diva Light extensively, but I always find there is a bit of an unpleasant color bias when we use it, even worse when you start dimming, I've also been told by another DP that this is a known issue with the Diva light that is less of an issue with the regular Kinos... I myself have only worked once with a 4bank kinoflo, during a training course on lighting, I can't say I noticed anything wrong with it, it seemed to mixe very well with both tungsten and HMI'S, but I didn't have as much of an eye for these things at the time vs. now. So I'd like to hear thoughts of people who've used both quite a bit!

 

This is going to be my first real experience as DP, hence my wanting to make good choices, usually I'm more of a focus puller, 1st AC.

 

Thanks!

i would go personally to the 4 bank kino flo and i would use 2 of them
