My old instructor in college had us do this. His instructions are very usefull to this day.
Turn on the tv in a room at night, don’t watch the tv, watch the room ,the walls and so on. what do you see. what colors and paterns bounce off the walls ? this is the effect you must recreate with your lights. Don
t be afraid to experiment

I’v used a small 150 and hand held small blue and green gels slowly intechanging them with each other.

Hi, I got my MBP and moved to FCP right after NAB this April. Mainly because the company I do most of my freelance work uses Macs and FCP. I must say I am very happy with the hardware and software. This fall we hit 18 cities in 14 days shooting interviews. I traveled with the MBP and a 250 gig ext Lacie FW HD. All worked great no problems.

My only problem is after installing FCP Studio and Aperture the HD is pretty full. I think I need to remove programs I do not use but am hesitant to do so , being unfamiliar with the Mac and being a fairly new user to the OS. I don

Thank you for the info, read some negative comments on this display on line also. I am also looking for a display for my Mac Book Pro. I don’t belive they are having these problems with the 30 in display are they ?

First the moving bars means nothing. Look in the manual and see where -12 db would be on the scale of the bars of your camera. This is where you should try and maintain the levels during your recording.
and never even try to record audio without wearing good headphones

Good Luck

This might help. I do not own the 100 camera but I did audio for a operator last month. My mixer puts out 1000 cycle for a test on either both L and R channels or I can do each channel on it own. When I tested to this camera I was sending tone on one channel and we heard it on both L and R at the camera. We found a switch on the camera that corrected everything. I always use this tone test on each camera to make sure I am sending them l and r . So I belive there is some kind of audio switch on your camera you might have to switch.

good luck

You might want to look at the jobs forum. I personally would never post to work for free. You will never get past that point and people will put a label on you. You have skill Don’t be afraid to tell people about the skills you have. People want people with confidence. hope all works for you.
best wishes
