So I don't have the money to purchase equipment that illuminates gigantic spaces (like a pitch-black theater, cave, or tunnel, for example),
BUT I am hoping to gather advice from veterans on what a noob should do, considering that renting equipment for a day or two for such purposes MIGHT (affordably) be an option.
Obviously, I have no clue what the hell I am talking about.
Big venues reqire BIG lighting rigs.. right???
Just in case I find some sort of location is worth shooting in the context of ZERO LIGHT, well, at least I'll learn something about lighting equipment by renting it, i.e., and I'll know that someday I might rather rather purchase. ok, bye.
My very rough draft questions are:
1) What type of light am I supposed to use for the best brightness (flood is important), but especially best CRI/ color accuracy? Halogen?
2) What would be the most efficient plan for a power source? What if circumstances dictate I can only use DC (battery powered) light? And what AC options are considerable?
3) What articles are out there for noobs like me... Can you can link me to them on this subject? I don't even know how to research this!
