My work as a cameraman for CBS News requires fast, efficient, beautiful light for interview subjects and correspondents. My formula is a Photoflex 500-watt Starlite 3200 with a small SilverDome softbox and grid for the key, and a second of the same with a 200 for fill. I've tried every other light from Tota to Arri to Kinoflo for faces. Nothing beats the even, soft, and reflective quality of light from the Starlite/SilverDome. In addition, the quality of construction, ease of manipulation, and heat-sink conductivity of the housing make setup and breakdown fast, easy, and a pleasure. And with the bulb protector, the lamp packs perfectly into my kit. Thank you for making the best instrument for lighting a face. |
