Reddit mentions of Neewer 12 x 12-Inches Pack of 8 Transparent Color Correction Lighting Gel Filter in 8 Different Colors

Post-Its? That will reduce color output way too much. You need gels for this.

You're gonna have to do more than just aiming it. Since these come with flood lenses, you'll probably need to tape something over the top 1/2 of each row of LEDs.

​

6000K is going to make some serious glare, so you might want to install a color gel to tone down most of the violet/blue/purple.

Absolutely! I'm gonna leave it here so anyone scrolling by can see it, but I'll also DM you and the other person who asked for it so you don't have to check back in the thread.

NEEWER 2-Pack 160 LED CN-160 Dimmable Ultra High Power Panel Digital Camera / Camcorder Video Light, LED Light for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Panasonic,SONY, Samsung and Olympus Digital SLR Cameras https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07438JXM7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cIS2Ab7JHAYCT

(Despite some reviews claiming the battery life is poor or the output is low, I've had nothing but great experiences with these panels. With the batteries I use, I can do a surprising amount of shooting before the batteries die out. Not only that, I only have two batteries. So the fact that it is often enough for what I do is astonishing. Also, the output is just fine. In fact, bright enough at max output that it hurts your eyes without a softbox. With the softbox it is perfectly bright for most occasions. If you need brighter, look into the Neewer CN-216 or CN-304. Just be ready to warn people about their brightness.)

(It has gone up a bit in price since I bought the two that I own, but it still offers excellent performance for the price. These are specifically made for the CN-160 panels. They diffuse light excellently, but at a minor cost. They are a bit of a pain in the ass to place onto the panel. At that price, though, you can't complain too much. You should be careful with them, as some have said that they don't take kindly to being handled roughly. My advise: take your time and do it carefully.)

(Outside of another tiny price increase, there's not much to say about these. They do the job incredibly well for what I put them through. However, NP F550 type batteries aren't meant to last incredibly long shoots. If you do long shoots, invest in a few more batteries and consoder using the larger capacity NP F750 type batteries.)

(These light stands have served me well. But, as with all cheaper gear, they won't withstand care that is too rough. They've handled plenty with me, but I recommend you try to take care of them. Other than that, they're just light stands.)

(Some cheap color gels. Get the job done.)

Of course I must include: This is all cheaper starter gear. It is not meant to replace the more expensive light kits that are much more durable, do much more and produce much better results. But restriction breeds creativity. And a passionate, new content creator with a creative eye will make the best of what they have. If you are a starting filmmaker, videographer or photographer, by all means, use this setup. Once you're ready to move onto better, more costly equipment, though, don't hesitate.

A cyan gel filter.

Ask the theater department is they have scraps from their lighting or get some from amazon

Not at all high precision but it's functional.

and two light stands and you're in business.

I've been using these for a long time and always do the trick.

Look up the film guys (thefilmguys.net) and see what that cinematography looks like. Only those lights and nothing else.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CCIKB5Q - color gels - $12

All of that, a 3 light setup with a key, a fill and a hair/rim with gels puts you at $12 under budget

Now if you are willing to go down to a 2 light setup, you can get some other modifiers like Octa's or lanterns and so on, but this is a fully capable kit.

Something like this should do the trick:

Here are a set of colored gels on amazon . You could go down the route of getting an RGB bulb, which can also be cheap, tho the light output on those bulbs are low. You need to have the light be brighter than your exposed shot to get the desired look.

Yeah I was thinking small aperture.

And I haven't done those effects before in post, so I will have to learn.

Should I buy more LED lights?

Is there a harbor freight case size you'd recommend?

Would gels like this be what you mean?

Ah so do you mean bounce the light off of a reflector (modifier) like you mentioned?

Thank you for the reply! So helpful! :)
