I agree with Jay. Your lighting looks pretty good. But check out this cheap lighting for video, video, by Bre Petis, http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/getting-started-in-video-lighting-1870/
I'd try bouncing some light off the ceiling or walls, off camera, for wide shots using cheap clip lights. Or diffused light directly in a "key back fill" config off camera. Or LED strips/clip lights that you bring in for close ups. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "tronnort" <david.jo...@...> wrote: > > Has anyone got any suggestions for good cheap studio lighting? > > My blog is here: > http://www.eevblog.com > As you can see I film almost entirely in my workshop in a fixed seated > position: > http://www.alternatezone.com/images/WorkshopBeforeAfter.jpg > I currently have two strip fluoros, one above and to the side, and the other > above directly in front and above.
