G'd morning lighting ladies and gents,
I'm currently writing a grant application, to produce some instructional videos with some of my students in my lovely purple-ish molecular biology lab. Most of them are probably gonna be relatively close-up: lab-bench and upper body visible.
As you can see it's quite an open space and should work just fine. I can ask for about £1k, half of which probably has to go to audio equipment, since we have nill (besides and old Zoom H1). Mobile phones should settle the camera side of things.
I'm a little stuck on lights. The lab is a big space, with shoddy fluorescent lighting from the last millennium and little natural light from the windows.
I'm torn whether I should go with direct lighting, using LED panels (e.g. Falcon Eyes?), or rather go with some S-mount based monolights to bounce off the ceiling for more even illumination. I own a PixaPro 100D, which is decent enough, but I'm wondering whether I could get away with a single light, given the budget restraints?
I rather we buy something of higher quality, on which we can build.
Any brand suggestions I can browse? Amazon's repertoire is a little overwhelming and colour quality is always a concern.
Cheers,
Mike
