Video PRO Strip Banks

Chimera lightbanks bring a beautiful light quality

to my work.
-Bill Holshevnikoff
Over the years, Ive been
hired a lot to make people
look good on camera.
Theres a delicate balance
to lighting a person for
camera
and
making
them feel comfortable
under the lights. The
more comfortable they
feel, the better their
performance on camera.
Time and time again,
Chimera lightbanks are
my tool of choice.
Whether its television,
film,
HiDef
or
DV,
Chimera
Lightbanks
bring a beautiful light
quality to my work. I
like to work the banks in
close - but, because the
light is so soft, its really
easy on the talent. Its
simple, quick, gorgeous
lighting that I can take
with me on any shoot.
-Bill Holshevnikoff
