I didn't think anyone used those blimps anymore. The photogs in my crews used to use those back on the old days in the early 90s to take pics with 35mm slide film cameras. Those blimps are awkward and hard to use.

Most shooters do what I do which is take photos before the video shoot with the existing video lights or strobes. Or they take pics with a flash enabled digital camera between the position changes of a sex scene and after the cumshot.

Like JP alluded to, it helps if you are filming with daylight balanced bulbs in Kino-Flo lights so that the typical on camera flash matches and any daylight streaming into the room from windows or skylights matches in color temperature.

Leaving flashes and audible pops from a movie is a horrible idea, and even worse, editing out frames with flash and pops would be both unnecessary and time consuming and look bad anyway!
