    I've rented a camera from them once before, I didn't need insurance or deposit, I just paid them the rental fee. On their website it says no insurance required and no credit card holds.

    lighting Lighting at night = Expensive?

    actually I just read that I could rent a 1200HMI light and its equivalent to 5000k light. It also said its good to emulate moonlight for night shots. Any technical things I should know about that? Thanks

    lighting Lighting at night = Expensive?

    There will be bushes behind them so I guess its ok if the background isn't lit up. Maybe I'll have one of them hold a lantern to help sell the low light.
