Lisa's New Lighting Gear: Wescott 3-Light Window Light Kit Plus
My very first Pro lighting gear kit! Before, I was using a creative hodge-podge of DIY lights from Home Depot and $2 foam core borders from a craft store, which, I must say, worked remarkably well for all the videos and shoots I've done in the past 3 years. But, I had to leave them all in Vancouver, so I'm starting fresh!
At this point, I'm looking for reliability and pro gear that doesn't topple over and stab me or models in the eye.. OW! They don't seem to like that very much :P
I wanted to get a continuous lighting kit that I could use primarily for my video work, (promo videos & commercials), but also for stills (portrait and fashion).
The Wescott 3-Light Window Light Kit Plus is going to give me gorgeous daylight balanced light that looks like window light and enough play that I can experiment with a vast array of lighting set-ups.
The kit comes with 2 TD5 Spiderlites that can take up to 5 lamps (continuous or strobes), and a TD3 Spiderlite that can take up to 3 lamps. Plus, stands, softboxes and a boom arm that I can hardly lift. Heavy sucker!
The two 24" x 32" Softboxes & Strip bank will be awesome for video and I can easily throw a Speedlight in there for outdoor photography.
I'm really excited to experiment with all this gear. I'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to continuous lighting, so I'll share any tips and tricks I find with you =)
