Response to Lighting

from Josh Mars (MarsVideo1@aol.com)
I agree with some of these posts: use of standard halogen fixtures can be utilized for film and video productions. I have a old pair of Colotran fixtures that I had a hella time finding new bulbs for, so I simply modified them to accept your garden variety halogen j-type lamp. Then, I modified some hardware store-bought fixtures to sit atop any pro-style lighting stand in the same fashion the old Colortrans do.(with a C-shaped metal bar attached to the fixture via 2 carriage bolts and 2 knobs; then attach a stand adapter to the center of the metal bar) I like the Bogen 8' stands, because they are less expensive than the C-stands, lighter, and also far more durable than the stands found in most lighting kits. I bought some nice umbrellas from B & H for $20 each. What I'd like to now learn is how to make my own barndoors. Any suggestions? Thanks! Josh Mars, Mars Video Productions.
