Someone Help Me Out With Lighting/Tripods

Hey Everyone,

What type of lighting do you guys who produce your own content use? I know something more than just overhead lights are needed to produce some good looking content, but do you need the softboxes and the whole kits like that? I see alot of kits out there on ebay and such, but can you just use the simple lights (halogens, etc) from lets say home depot or even walmart to produce your content? Is there a noticable difference between the softbox kits and plain halogen lights?

Also, for movie camera tripods do you guys use high end ones like the $500+ ones or do you guys just go out to target or walmart and pick up one of the $49.99 ones? Is there a difference in quality of content produced if you go with the cheaper alternative?

Thanks!

Jim
