| Dragonoid.Slayer:
Here's a list of what we currently have: Lots of Macs Adobe and all of its editing software Lots of non-DSLR cameras 2 studio filming cameras like for TV A complete control room like for TV lots of tripods lots of lavaliere microphones a boom mic so, what should we get? I'm the student director for film, so I get a fair say on what to get. |

Lights? You didn't list any lighting gear. Lighting is... kinda important |
| Juncoph:
lighting is way more important than you'd think op the human eye has a lot of cheeky tricks for low light which cameras don't have. adequate lighting for your house is garbage lighting for a film |

Unless you're deliberately creating "moody" lighting, typical household lighting should be plenty, from a quantity standpoint. The issue comes from a quality/creativity standpoint. Lights are useful for all sorts of purposes, not just "it's too dark" like filling in harsh shadows created by hard overhead lights, or deliberately creating harsh lighting, such as a film noir lighting style. |
