Any chance I will be able to utilize my existing lighting for movie
production? Lights I have now I used for fine-art (nudes/portraits) still
photography (see sparlo.net my site if interested)-- I have several 500
watt monolights, also several flash and slave-flash units, but I am
guessing that flash has no use in movie filming. How much wattage is
typically used in movie filming, let's say on a cloudy day outdoors? I
also have a nice large reflector with gold, silver, white, surfaces, etc,
and of course white foamcore board is cheap for reflecting. Luckily the
light meter I use for photography also has settings to use for
cinemetography. I have Cinelerra software for video editing, nice open
source software I suspect. mencoder open source software can do incredible
video processing so that is free and I think could come in handy.
