we use shop lights from home depot. They are the ones you put on a tripod and the light has bars in front of it.

I've got some propper camera lights which are massive! My dad is kinda into photographing, so I can use these massive lights, but mainly I just use on 1,000,000 candle power halogen lamp thing.

I just used to flood lights which srewed the video up, it was to bright & didn't look like a normal light either < wouldn't use them again...

This is a good topic, I have been wondering for a while what kind of lights to use when filming, wonder what everyone else uses...
