After using them a little more I’ve changed my mind completely.

These shop lights really are the best for green screen work!

I find they are bright enough with proper positioning and there is less key work in premiere since they are not overly bright.

Now I need to construct the stands and want to do exactly what you did, Todd. I have a couple questions if you are still monitoring this thread, though.

Can you adjust the angle in a grip head so that the “arm” going through it is level? The ones I see advertised show the arm going through the grip head at an angle upwards, and I just want to be sure I can make this sit level for the post.

If you can recommend the particular c-stands/grip heads you use I’ll just buy those.

Thanks for your help. This idea rocks. I’m going to Home Depot right now to get some bolts and lights.

Kino flos are out of my price range at the moment.

I tried using fluorescent shop lights from my house and I positioned them on the green screen from both sides, however they are just not very bright.

What do you think about using softboxes for illuminating the green screen itself? Or perhaps another type of light. I’m going to test out some softboxes right now.

Nice tip T2. Where do you get materials to make custom stands like that for you lights?

Thanks for the suggestion Rick. Any suggestion on what are some good light diffuser screens? I’m going to search on Amazon right now. -Kyle
