I have a pro lighting question. I want to have the best lighting for my film, but the light is either to dark or to bright. I use 500 Watt light’s to light my set, I use them for my clay films but I can’t get them to work on my brick films can anyone help?

500 watts might be a bit overkill....

I have fix the light and here how it looks
Yeah, gotta keep that white balance white.
Try to increase the brightness a little, but not to much.
I can definitely imagine the benefit of having a light like that to use as a "sun", but man, those things are insanely bright. It still looks like you're underexposing the image. It's a mistake a lot of brickfilmers make, and it pretty much screams "this was shot in my bedroom". So definitely expose a little more.
The photos are taking in my studio; they are the same light’s I used in my clay animations but I used to use a 35 mm film camera for them, but I upgrade to digital and now I have this problem. I think it’s the camera I’m using; I have been playing around with the setting for hours but can’t get a result.
The room I film in is also fully blacked out
If anyone knows what settings to change on the camera please comment?
35 mm film is easy to use but cost a lot.
What camera are you using. And how on earth did you get a 35mm film camera?
I’m using a Fujifilm finepix s8000 camera. The 35mm it’s my uncles old camera he used it for stop-motion when he was a kid.
Wait, but isn't 35mm film stock insanely expensive?

And you're sure it was 35mm and not 16mm?

Yes we had a super 8mm and a 35mm but we have sold the 35mm.
I’m getting my super 8 and 35mm clay stop-motion films converted to digital as I don’t have a 35mm projector any more and my 8mm projector is broken.

Cool, I'm planning some Super8 work, and found a lab that does good transfers for not that much.
Super 8 is cheap but digital is cheaper, I still got my old super 8mm camera and it still works. And I got 3 hours of old blank film older then me like 30 years old.
Oh and the 35 mm projector we used to have was huge, my uncle used to be mad about film making.
