Good to know - thanks Phil!

To Phil/JD - I totally agree about Tungsten lights. To be honest I'm just getting greedy. In the fantasy world in my head, I'm lining specific parts of the oven with LED strips so I can shape the light exactly how I want it. Thanks for responding!

Hey Tim - thanks for responding. I pretty much had that feeling. Been shooting and watching a lot of food video/content and I've never seen/heard of it but I wanted to try something new. If you wouldn't mind asking around it would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

Hey all - I shoot for the NY Times cooking section and I've been tasked with something I'm a bit unsure of - I need to light and to shoot the inside of an oven as a souffle rises. Is there a heatproof camera housing for dSLR/action cameras and are there any LED strips that can function at high temperatures? Thanks!

Long time reader, first time poster: First off, I just want to say you guys rock - I've probably learned more here in a month than I did in 4 years of school and 4 years of working. I'm shooting a documentary with a lot of daytime exteriors, and I know on one level I kind of just have to pray for nice light at our locations (its in CA and I'm in NY, so scouts are out of the question). But I was hoping to assist certain scenes with some portable LEDs or something else and I was hoping for some thoughts or recommendations. I'm shooting on the C300 with the Canon Cine Lenses (though I may switch to the CP2 superspeeds) and I'm trying to replicate shots like this: And for nighttime scenes: Now it seems to me that the Daytime shot is totally natural light, but is there something I can grab for giving a little shape to a key side or filling in if the sun is insanely bright? And the Night time shot looks like 2 LEDs but I'd love to hear some thoughts and ideas. Thanks so much, you folks are all amazing. PS sorry for the crazy picture sizes.
