Topic: Lamps and bulbs - help needed
What lamps and bulbs do you guys use?
I've been using some lamps with these annoying 50w spiral bulbs in them that have produced flicker from day one. Basically, these lamps are terrible for animation and I'm not shelling out £52 to replace bulbs that may not even work anyway. I'd like to know what lights, lamps and bulbs everyone uses so I can make my mind up about what to replace mine with. I've literally tried to remove light flicker every other way - covered my windows with felt, adjusting brightness in After Effects, standing on the other side of the room when taking each frame - and it's just not working, so I need to have a complete lighting overhaul. The flicker is just getting ridiculous.
I've been looking at these but at the moment I don't know enough about them to risk spending the money.
Any help would be much appreciated. From behind the scenes pictures/videos it looks like a lot of brickfilmers just use household lamps, and yet get little to no flicker. I need to understand this, it's driving me insane.
