Looking for an HMI

January 10, 2012 forum topics
I want to use it for interviews, both inside, and outside. I’m also looking as Scrim Jims to fly over the talent, and for nets behind the talent to knock down the exposure and DOF on the background.

I’ve only worked with Arri HMI Pars w/ lenses in the past. Loved working with them, but I’m really not experienced with HMIs. I was getting used to working with 1k – 2k pars. I can’t afford that, so I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

In addition to typical EFP, I would also like to use the same lights to shoot re-enactments and and stuff like that on location, rather than trying to find a studio

I just have no idea what wattage to go with.

Thanks
Ted
