This may be simplistic, but I found out that it helps to wear black with long sleeves when working because I become a moving bounce board for any stray light from the set. The light reflects off me and gets into shadows and I don't notice until I play it back in Hi Def that there's a gentle irregular flicker ghosting around the scene. :(
There are some shop window fixtures that don't give you as much control but do cost less (both to buy and to run)
I use little angle-poise desk lamps for the most part, with hook-clamps bolted on but the best you'll get out of them is a general wash.

I'm thinking making videos about hoe my camera/framgrabber is set up and maybe something on colour correction in after effects, if anyone's interested?

Raspberry Animation on Wednesday, 02 February 2011 16:41Sounds good! Do you use Magic Bullet Looks of Colorista? We use those progs with good results. In fact next month we're gading a short movie with them.
