What lighting for a video?

[StoneJack]

I am thinking of shooting some videos, by Nikon DSLR, D3300. Mostly portrait videos (as a hobby for music video editing). I have some nice 35 and 50 mm lenses in addition to kit lenses. My question is what lighting kits I would need for shooting?

Photo lamps with various Color filters,you may also need light reflectors. The photo lamps are sort of expensive,but reflectors,like the folding ones used by portrait photographers is much cheaper. I tried some video shots with my Sony cameras,and I used two desk spotlights with home made Color/temperature filters,and one to four foldable reflectors. Worked well for me,but if you use low energy leds or other household light bulbs,you must have Color filters to avoid Color bleaching and over coloured blue or red.

I'd recommend these.

You can buy them with colour filters etc. But you can also adjust the Color temperature etc.

These are nice, but a bit expensive for hobby.

The Neewer products are well-priced on Amazon. I've used a smaller 300led bi-color handheld unit. Adjustable temp and brightness. The unit we had, using as a handheld fill, was about $60 or so.

I saw a few in the Apple store that you could try. I don't do video but I did research a few lighting if I would shot vids.
