Ok, I have just been blessed with someone who is willing to invest $2000.00 for whatever else I need for my first time film. ( I have already spent money on a brand new XH A1, tripod, boom pole, shot gun mic, wide angle lens and the accessories) I was thinking of spending about $1200 on lights. Can you help me decide on the best investment? It isn't an action film..it's a relationship movie, lots of dialogue scenes. 22 locations; inside a bachelor apartment, inside a book store, thrift shop, pub, restaurant, diner, and bar. Also quite a few sidewalk scenes and train station.
Should i go with florescents? Soft boxes? tungstens? I'm new to this so I apologize if i ask stupid questions.
Any other equipment i should be investing in let me know. By the way, none of us are getting paid, so i can't afford to spend money the money on a gaffer or sound technician.
