One
last piece of gear that I got very late in the production was a light
box. The first place that I was going to shoot Ramon was inside a
dark church. to show you how little I know about any of these
filmmaking technical requirements, it didn't even dawn on me that I
needed a light source; Ramon had to remind me. So on my way to the
church for the shoot, I stopped back at B&H Photo, since they
were so helpful before. This time I went to the big lighting
department. I told the guy what I needed, and he told me that
everything he had was way too expensive for what I was trying to do.
Instead he directed me back to the camera accessories department to
find a smaller light box. Talking to the girl behind the counter, she
pointed me in the direction of this small battery powered light box
that was equipped to be placed on cameras.
Knowing that I had an
iPhone, I knew this wouldn't work, so she suggested that I still get
the small light box, but that I also get a tripod. These two pieces
of equipment were the most important things I could have gotten for
the whole shoot. Because I wanted to be portable, it didn't have
enough power to illuminate someone across a room, but it did have
enough power to light a person from about ten feet away. Since I knew
I was only doing stationary interviews (for the most part), this was
plenty.
