Just not sure how to set up on a ceiling rack for best even lighting. I was thinking Fresnels as Key and flourescents as fill and back. The budget... I need to give quotes to the boss. I also would like some dimming control.

Just be sure to get everything in the same color temperature.</p> <p>Ken</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/studio-to-light#post-46537 Thu, 07 May 2009 15:58:33 +0000 dave3d 46537@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've got a pretty large Internet/video studio to light. I mean large, 14m x 5.50 and 4.5m high. We are building our own ceiling rack, but boy do I need some tips on getting some great interview-area lighting and 3 point lighting. There are 3 sets, a chroma corner and a white screen. </p>
