Response to Lighting - basic equipment

from Anna Harrison (vwanna42@aol.com)
I did get Lowel's catalog, but I wasn't willing to buy one of their smallest cheapest light kits for $800. So instead I went to local camera stores and found a really good light set, 2 lights,2 stands in a 1000 watt kit for $150! So I will buy 2. Also check out B&H. I have heard you can just get cheap lights at home depot if you really want. But make sure that you get a lot of GELS, SCRIMS and BOUNCECARDS! These are what make the difference. Scrims you can make from screens from Home Depot, gels you can buy anywhere, blue is great, and bouncecards and reflectors are easy. Craft or Art store has big white foamboards. Simple and cheap and effective. My friend is a really great grip in LA and said that is truly all that matters. good luck!
