Right now in order to film at night I need a bigger light source than my LED lights. I can shoot with them, but I can't film with them.
Because of that I use a 500 watt Halogen work light to illuminate a huge area. The camera picks it up almost like daylight. I've got to figure out a way to use it on some "wild" hunts though. I'm thinking a power converter and a boat battery would be perfect and would probably power the light for hours AND the camera.
The night critters don't seem to be scared of the light as long as it isn't moving or flashing on and off. Like I said, I don't need it to hunt, I just need it to film.
