STILLS CAMERA
Canon 7D
18 Megapixel digital stills camera
I recently made a big move from Nikon to Canon when I purchased the Canon 7D. Not only does it take great stills but it can also do a good job of shooting HD video (though I think it works best if the HD is down-ressed to SD)

| LIGHTING kit |
|
|
My lighting kit consists of:
Strand 'Bambino' fresnel tungsten lights:
1 x 1KW, 2 x 650W and 1 x 500W.
2 x 150W Dedo lights
2 x 800W Totas and
2 x 800W red heads.
|
These high quality & versatile lights are very flexible in their application and are highly suited for interviews and small sets/interior shoots (whether moving image or stills).
If you like the soft look, I also have Chimera soft boxes that attach to my fresnels, Totas and redheads. |
|
I
have a good range of accessories, including: a comprehensive set of gels (ND, scrim, diff, CTO/CTB, cosmetics and coloured gels); grip equipment (super clamps, magic arms, extension arms, gaffer clamps etc); reflectors; black background drapes/black outs; and of course lighting stands.
I must mention the Manfrotto boom arm stand in particular (see right). It is extremely versatile for holding a back light, or for lighting in tight spots. I love it and my clients have greatly appreciated it too!
