I have a subscription of Adobe Creative Suite and use almost all of it. After Effect and Premiere. We use Cubase for audio engineering but Audition is great too.

Hello Everyone,
I am making this post about a Studio Continuous Lighting Kit by Fovitec I bought for use since I am a beginner. However while I intend to make good use of it I have some conerns. I knew what I was paying for, and understood it was a continuous lighting kit but I am a bit regretful I bought it before seeing the video that showed how it was assembled. I am not sure if I should work with it the best I can or sell it and get a better continuous lighting kit.
Here are my concerns,
Hello Everyone,
I am making this post about a Studio Continuous Lighting Kit by Fovitec I bought for use since I am a beginner. However while I intend to make good use of it I have some conerns. I knew what I was paying for, and understood it was a continuous lighting kit but I am a bit regretful I bought it before seeing the video that showed how it was assembled. I am not sure if I should work with it the best I can or sell it and get a better continuous lighting kit.
Here are my concerns,
unfortunately i only have time to make video at night.
Clamp light like this one ?
For the light bulb, how many wattage do i need for a small room (10 feet x 9 feet)?
I think i can buy one cheap diffuser, but i don't know the differences between the one that looks like umbrella, or softbox
If i can only buy one, which 1 is better?
Thanks
Just looking around, tungsten kits seem a lot pricier. What’s the benefit of them over fluorescents, something like this?
I was a bit worried that it's too old, and one of the points they were telling me is that if I want to upgrade the lens down the road, Panasonic and Olympus lenses are compatible. They want $140 for the camera and $90 for the kit lens. I definitely would like to stay under $250, and closer to $200 is better.
I'm taking pictures of soap, and other bath products that I make.
For lighting, I have this StudioPro kit. I've actually wondered if it might be a little bit of overkill, but it seems to give decent output. Hard to tell though on my point & shoot.
I do a beauty channel so my lighting setup will be different than the look you are going for. I looked up Chael and it looks like he at least uses a ring light and a background light. You can get a lot of use out of a cheaper lighting system like this one. I’ll try to link you; also what camera are you planning to use? https://www.amazon.com/Fovitec-Photography-Continuous-Equivalent-Softboxes/dp/B00KRN0SEI/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=lorryhill-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=b7e44016ad0d59a26b439e43e9bce276&creativeASIN=B00KRN0SEI
