Topic: Stupid light flicker

Does anybody know why my light flicker is so bad.
Its never been as bad as it is now and I really need it fixed for the ani-exer.
Please I need suggestions on how to fix it
Also do you think these lamps are the problem? Because I am using one.

Re: Stupid light flicker

The other lamp
is 60 watt I don't know how much that ott-lite is  though

Re: Stupid light flicker

i use a lamp just like that and a halogen and im fine...

but if u haven't tape paper around the lights to defuse the light (u probably new that)

also go on brickfilms.com's tutorial pages they have a neat tutorial on reducing light flikr via camera settings

I have awesome sauce in my veins! Which i sprinkle on each of my videos to give it an extra dose of aweomseness!

block all other light ?

Re: Stupid light flicker

Are you always returning to the same place when you take a pic? (That helps <<<)

Is the computer monitor facing the set? This could cause probkens

Re: Stupid light flicker

I try not to have any light on things except the set, wear black clothes (helps a lot - thats my experience) and something todiffuse the light (like umbrella lights)
I dont think the lamp is the cause for your flicker. but you might use other lamps. Or just make many shots while youre in the same position - do you still have a flicker?
