I second this and personally have some Neewer Bi-color panels are they are pretty good, as well as bright. $160 for 2 lights, bags, and stands + AC power adapters (no batteries), but they do work with standard Sonys, can't recommend them enough IMO https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XW3B81V/ref=psdc_3109915011_t1_B072Q42GXQ
These don't look too bad for LEDs. https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Pieces-Bi-color-Video-Light/dp/B06XW3B81V/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=neewer+led+lights&qid=1574087935&sr=8-9
Or this, https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Reflector-Continuous-Recording-Photography/dp/B07PBG17PG/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=neewer+led+lights&qid=1574088078&sr=8-13 (But you will probably need a scrim to defuse light with that)
Photography--good photography--is *really* tricky, video more so.
Caveat--I've not used the iPhoneXR at all, and I'm more than a bit of a camera snob. I only use my cellphone for "documentation" pictures, or on the rare occasion I don't have a "real" camera with me. I carry a compact camera in my "man purse" so I always have a good camera on me.
If you're not going to be streaming the video I'd suggest a "real" camera, maybe two so you can easily get different angles.
I would also suggest getting some "cheap" lights off Amazon, like these https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Pieces-Bi-color-Video-Light/dp/B06XW3B81V/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Video+lights&qid=1570067275&sr=8-3 (not recommending those, something *like* that) to give the room more light. You don't (necessarily) focus these on you, but bounce them off walls etc.
Look on youtube for videos on video lighting and how to shoot videos.
Never underestimate what a few lights can do to improve the quality of your video, especially if you shoot a lot indoors. Outdoors during the day you can easily get away with not having lights, but not indoors. I think putting more into the camera is a good choice, since there are some decent enough cheap LED lights to get you by.
By indoor lighting do you mean the normal lights in your house? If so that's the problem, turn them off and use a couple good lights to properly light what you're filming instead.
something like this will go a long way. Or better two of these will light up a room nicely.
The color on these won't be great, but this gives you two decently soft sources, and relatively cheap. You'll still need to hang some diffusion on it, and probably look into getting some minus green gel.

Thanks! So something like [this?](https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Pieces-Bi-color-Video-Light/dp/B06XW3B81V/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=neewer%2Bled%2Bpanels&qid=1555434010&s=electronics&sr=1-3&th=1)
Looks like you can control their intensity and light temperature without gels, which is nice.
How do you position these? I know traditional lighting setups look something like [this](http://i.imgur.com/PXOMvoj.png) but as I am now I don't have a solid backdrop behind me for a good 15 feet or so.
Are you interested in a DSLR/interchangeable lens type of camera, or a straightforward video camcorder? Based on what you're looking to film (interviews plus footage of art being created over a period of time), I think a DSLR camera could work for you. It would be capable of getting quality video footage, and if you want to take photo timelapses of the art pieces being created that would be easy to do as well.
So based on that and your $2000 budget, here's what I'd recommend.
Panasonic G85 w/kit lens ($800)
Rode Wireless DSLR Audio System ($330)
Manfrotto Video Tripod ($360)
Neewer 660 LED 2-Light Kit with stands ($160)
Lumix 25mm f1.7 lens ($180)
This should bring you comfortably under $2000. The kit lens that comes with the G85 isn't the greatest but it's a start. I'd recommend getting the Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 if you have another $800 or so to shell out...you can probably get it cheaper used though.
The 25mm f1.7 is equivalent to a 50mm focal length on a full-frame camera (the G85 has a micro four thirds sensor) and should do well in lower light situations.
With the leftover money, I say go buy a decent bag or carrying case for the camera gear and get some SD cards, lens filters, etc.
If you want spend for branded quality that is and is rather robust (even though it will be in the office and not traveling with you for diff film sets) go with the aperature branded products
However if you want some good budget lights and can buy some bell and whistle add ons to help with your set up later, go with Neewer 660 LEDs here and their 5 in 1 reflector kit here
Personally I love Neewer as they have a solid product and if you take care of it, as you should for all of your equipment, it will last.
/u/jchlarue - with a $300 budget, you can step up from Home Depot lights to a [$229.99 Neewer Bi-color 480 3-light set] (https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Packs-Dimmable-Bi-color-Lighting/dp/B072Q3DYXR//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) (AC powered only - no batteries or barn doors).
If you want the same kit with batteries, it will [cost you $339.99] (https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Bi-color-Shooting-Dimmable-3200-5600K/dp/B074W7BY4F//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).

If you want barn doors, you can get a [Neewer Bi-color 600 2-light set for $189.99] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XW3B81V//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) plus a [single light for $119.99] (https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Bi-color-Video-Light-Stand/dp/B0744DR15F//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) (AC only - you'll have to buy batteries separately).
Review of the bi-color 660 [here] (https://youtu.be/VTq9T7zJsR0).
If budget permits, I recommend the 660s because they'll give you more light and barn doors.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your upgrade!
