Hi there,
I recently bought a Canon HV20 HDV camcorder to record my solo music performances. Since most of my recording will be indoors, light can be a problem. Fortunately, I do have a large window which illuminates the room well during the day, but even so, I can tell my cam would do much better with some more light.
I am an amateur to video making and I have little interest in becoming a pro. I just want to have a decent looking video without requiring too much time, space or money invested.
That being said, light kits are probably out of the scope of my requirements as they cost hundreds of dollars. But what about building your own light fixture, as per this link: http://strobist.blogspot.com/2007/11...uorescent.html
Anybody try these cheaper solutions for their digital?
