I think it’s going to be a fun project and can’t wait to start filming. We are going to be limited on time and hopefully can film everything in two weeks. This makes the planning and scheduling very crucial in getting all 14 episodes filmed. Luckily, most of them take place in one location but I would kind of like to have my apartment back quickly after the production phase is finished.

I took the piece of galvanized steel and cut it out into two different sizes of triangle shapes. Bent the corners around so they wouldn’t cut anyone and attached them to the lights using the bolts and elbow brackets. Hazah! My lights have barn doors. Then using some flat black grill paint, I painted the barn doors and light faces. This made it look a little cleaner. Since I was going to remove the glass in the light I thought I would try a test. I sandblasted the glass in the light to try and use it as a diffuser. It worked really well until the glass suddenly shattered all over our living room floor. Apparently sandblasting the glass made it structurally weak and it wasn’t able to stand up to the heat of the work light. So the test failed and I removed the glass from the rest of the work lights. I then created a stand holder using a bolt and a 3/8″ conduit cap. I could set my new lights onto a light stand and then screw it tight.

I’ve tried the lights in a few shoots and I can say they’ve made a big difference. I still don’t have as much control as a professional lighting kit, but I have to work with what I got. And these lights cost me less than $150. Check out the videos they were used in.
