[FCP-L] Production question: Lights

My 2 cents on simple lighting:
I use a Chimera and/or Photoflex Silverdome with an Arri 650 Fresnel
(or an old Totalight with 500-1000w lamp). The softboxes come with
diffusers and crates, and I add whatever else I need with C47s.
I either use 2, for key and fill, or 1 for key with a card for fill. For
backlight I use an LTM Pepper or an Arri 150 Fresnel. Practicals, where
practical. :-) That's the simplest setup we use. But I prefer to sit them
in front of a North window.
