I recently went back to the way I used to film back in the old days and work with a small crew incl. myself as director/cameraman, my assistant to set up my lights, a still photographer to take pics and makeup artist for every scene to get the best results with high definition video. I mainly use Kino-Flos with daylight balanced bulbs in them for my key lights and other lights like a 1000-watt Lowell Riffa as a fill light and a 500 watt Lowel Riffa as a hair light with color temperature blue gels to match the Kinos for video lighting, plus sometimes some smaller lights to light the background or throw color or shadows on the wall.

For stills I have my photographer take every image from pretty girls to action to cumshots with strobes so they all come out super crisp, and then we film the scene on video with little interruption. The result is the best of both worlds that way as far as stills and video. (see samples in sig) It just takes a little time, but we have it down pretty good now!
