Alright. I'm taking the plunge into film, and I've got a few things worked out as far as gear. But next on my to-stress-about list is lighting. I'm all for getting what you pay for, but considering this is my first foray and don't intend on doing film as a business thing full time, I don't want to invest in things I'm not particularly get much use out of for some time. So what I need is some budget lighting ideas. I've seen some things floating around about using halogen work lights, etc. and that's more or less my price range at the moment. Also, should a three-light setup be mostly what I need? I've hung around with photogs in my journalism stuffs, and that's the consensus, however none of them are in film primarily, most work with stills.
I'm planning on doing some outdoor shooting and keeping indoor scenes intimate, so that might help as far as direction of advice should go.
