New toy, indeed! I know I always say that I don’t want to own equipment but there are a few things I just have to have. This is one of them… or three. What did I get? It’s a Rosco LitePad 3″x3″ DL, a 3″x6″ HL LitePad and 2 channel 5 amp dimmer also from Rosco. I’ve used LitePads in the past and recently used one that Key Grip Andrew M. brought to the set of “Box of Shadows”. I guess I was sold on getting one after that. In the future, I would like to get a few that are slightly lager but for now these are great for product shots, eye lights, night car interiors and possibly for fire effects. I love that it’s also DMX controllable. Let’s shoot something!

As another one who discourages buying equipment, I agree that these are pretty darn cool to have. Especially after seeing them at Film Tools. I can think of about 10 shoots we could have used them on.
