    Hi, I am shooting a short film with a AG_DVX100 and I’m not getting anough eye light. The actor’s eyes are shady and I was suggested to get an on camera eye light. Does anyone know what the best type of on camera eye light to get would be?

    Eye light is simply fill light that catches an actor’s eyes. I usually put a very soft source- like a china ball or a piece of foam core in the general direction of the key light and you get a nice set of white dots on the actors eyes. More tips here:
