Lighting
Dedolight KDS31M (KDS-31M) 1 soft head & 3 hard heads master kit
COST: 2,675.00 + VAT 3,210.00 inc VAT
The reason I brought these lights is there come with 1 soft head and 3 hard head lights what
is quite a nice range. It also comes with a wide range of filters, barn doors, dimers, adaptors
and stands.
Lighting is one of the most important parts of film making. Without lighting the atmosphere
for scenes can completely change. Its also something that can turn your production for an
amateur video to a professional film.
