I've never been on a Hollywood (or HBO!) set, nor do I have any video experience.

But I can easily believe this. Look at any movie or TV show, especially how the actors (and foreground!) are lit during night shots or noontime shots. (to say nothing of how the great cinematographers manipulate lighting)

That's serious lighting right there, and it takes more than a few speedlights.......

Cheers,

Marc
