- Benefits of lighting kit: Continuous lighting is always on, and the obvious advantage to working with continuous light sources is that unlike strobes and monolights, which take a great deal of practice to learn before you understand what changes will look like in a shot, what you’re seeing in the real world with continuous lights will closely resemble the image that you’re capturing. What you see is what you get and that makes it simple to adjust light positions and output as needed.
- Benefits to a soft box is that it produces light which is more even than light coming from an umbrella. A softbox emulates the soft, directional lighting usually produced by natural window light. It softens and diffuses the lighting from the attached light source by transmitting the light through a diffusion panel.

I scan all of my RGD drawings and primarily work in graphite. I use a canoscan 8600f but I believe they have updated the model to the 9000. It works pretty well. Sometimes the dark pencils (the ole' 9b) can get reflective, particularly when you mix media and they are drawn on a dark surface. The only way to avoid that is to make a whole elaborate setup. Black felt behind the art. Studio lighting. Then you can spread you light sources so wide they won't reflect as much.
By that point, if you aren't working to large, it's easier to just scan and use a white balance card. Just include that little guy into the scan and use the black, white, and grey eyedropper tools in the "levels" settings in Photoshop. Any reflections, you can edit out to make it match the real values of the drawing.
_Dead's suggestion with the shade is the best method for shooting on a larger scale and don't have the resources for a fancy pants setup. Cell phones won't have the best camera for shooting the art but you gotta use what you gotta use.
Just remember, even with a white balance card, the most important thing is making sure the lighting is EVEN. Try your best to make sure there are no hot-spots of light because that is the most difficult to adjust later.
I can go into more detail on fancy pants rigs if needed.
I bought something very similar to this. The lights, stand, and softbox are about the same.

No problem at all!
Here are some I found:
Basics ( 2 main stands and a mini one, umbrellas, bulbs, everything you need )

They are softboxes for lighting my green screen. I've started streaming to twitch in my spare time.
These are my lights.

I have a Canon ELPH 300 HS I can use, but believe it or not I specifically bought the iPhone 6 due to the rave reviews the camera got. It's also nice to have such a huge screen to see what I'm filming. I'd really like to use the iPhone 6 and am just hoping I have something set wrong.

Not really. Overall output is pretty low so it won't help much, and it doesn't look like you can control the amount of output either, which is really important.
Unfortunately the cheapest good option costs somewhat more.
> Also for video work would these lights be a good set up? (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050K3DW2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=12ABU74GX8YT&coliid=IXN17S7HHO3QY)
Don't know much about video. Looks like those have higher output which is good, but still no output control. And why not use the same set for both video and stills?
I'm setting up a studio primarily for photography, but also will be shooting video occasionally. Going to also try doing some chromakey video.
I'm currently looking at softboxes and have my eye on this kit to get me started.
My question: I'd like to be able to use the same softboxes for speedlights and continuous lighting both. From the pictures of the softboxes, I can't think of an easy way to swap out the continuous light heads and use a speedlight instead. Any tricks?

That is the exact kit

I just picked up some lights on Amazon to complete the "infinity white" background look for shooting video. (probably overkill for what you need, but I think you could green screen it with these lights)
I believe they are soft box and come like this. There are different kits online and will probably run between 200-300.

Well I won't get much use out of them for about a week, but just so you're aware it costs 150 for just one of these lights brand new, so keep that in mind! Best lighting setup you can get for the money other than that is probably something like this
In theory those lights sound good, but in reality they're really not versatile at all. To change the colour balance you have to change all the bulbs as opposed to throwing on a filter or a gel, they're super bulky, they're light and flimsy so if you're dealing with wind they'll blow all over the place, and finally they take forever to set up.
Sorry if I seem like I'm insulting your intelligence, I'm just assuming you're some what of a beginner like me.
