The future is bright, dare I say! KANG: More intense, high-wattage fixtures, and fuller-spectrum units that emit light in the violet and near-UV regions to better match true daylight. What is a basic lighting set-up every filmmaker should have, including modifiers and power solutions? KANG: Three or four lights. One big unit that has a lot of output with softbox and eggcrate modifiers. A tube light to adjust talent contrast and separate from the background, used from behind. One small light to use on the background to make it seem more ‘real’. And batteries, especially external ones, which always help because they can easily be swapped around.

CAWS: The Pavotube 6C RGBWW, because it’s compact, powerful and packed full of features. Its amazing portability makes this such a versatile lighting fixture, featuring maximum illumination of 520 lumens at 5600K, as well as full-spectrum RGB and pre- programmed effects. It’s powered by an internal lithium-ion battery, so with no cords to worry about and additional magnets to mount anywhere, the sheer possibilities are endless. Also, in the Forza spotlight range, the Forza 60B bicolour moonlight-style LED budget kit, which is lightweight, compact and powerful with remarkable output for its size.
