Photography is what I do, but the aspects of light quality is the same whether it's photo or video. It's just the quantity aspect that is different. Say I'm shooting something like a dance competition, one with fast paced moves, rather than slow, graceful ones. I'm aiming for 1/1000th or bare minimum 1/500th to freeze action. But for video, the general rule is a shutter speed twice that of your frame rate. So if you're shooting at the cinematic standard 24fps, you only need a shutter speed of 1/48th. Which actually reminds me of another thing I would recommend. With your max shutter speed being limited to as low as 1/48th, the thing I hear from my video friends more often, rather than not enough light, is too much light, especially when shooting wide open or outdoors. So grab a good quality variable neutral density filter. |

lighting is one of the things that I thought we should get. the list in ON is what we have, not what we need. so, what specific lighting equipment should I get? I tried to look into it, but could not figure out what exactly I need for 3 point lighting with gel / plastic diffusion |

But some sort of 3 light kit, with an assortment of modifiers. You can buy something really cheap, as long as everything uses standard Bowen mounts you can just get new lights when you know what you need, without buying all new modifiers. |
