  Lighting suggestions

  Posted by William Dedula on January 7, 2011 at 8:53 pm

  Hello All;
  I need some recommendations for good lighting setups for a corporate videocam system based upon the Panasonic HMC-150 which we purchased about 6 months ago.

  I frequently have to videotape presentations in a darkened room probably from about 10-20 feet away. My shots have been coming out a little dark even if the IRIS is full open.

  I’m looking for a video light that performs well, and is portable (Ie. can be carried from location to location and can run on batteries).

  If you have any recommendations or if you need more info. please reply to this post. Thanks.

  Tim

  Need more info.

  Are you wanting to have the light by or on the camera or can you place the light close to the subject. 20 feet is a long way to throw a camera light.

  Yeah at that distance you don’t light from the camera you light from nearer your subject…

  Hello All;
  That’s one of the things I have to determine and it seems like I’ll need a portable, off-camera light. Any suggestions?
