The room is going to be set up to do basic green screen filminig of one person with one camera. The plan is to paint a ten foot wall with chroma key paint. The plan is to put two 4 foot bays of 2 flourecents (hopefully KinoFlo) 3200 k bays directly above the green screen to light the green screen. The subject will be lit by a basic three point set. We are leaning towards a 3200 cool flo kit from imagewest.com. I work for a non-profit so i don’t have an extensive budget. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I may be confusing lumens for degree kelvins. I’m new to this and very excited about being involved. There is just a ton of information and distrutors out there. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.

Wow! Thanks for the quick responses! Sadly, the Kino Flo lights are out of my price range. Todd’s idea of switching out bulbs and balasts of a hardware store special may be more cost effective for our needs and our space. Trying to balance quality and a tight budget can be tricky at times.
I did have one follow up question. John mentioned running the rectangular 2′ and 4′ lights for the subject three point lighting.
Does anybody have an opinion of running rectangular banks vs square or circular banks?
This is one of the links I found for a basic 3 point lighting kit.

As I said, I have a fairly tight budget and I have to consider price and quality equally. Any thoughts?

Thanks again for the quick responses.
