This past Friday during some much needed down-time, I set up my "mannequin head" (don't laugh--it used to belong to my daughter when she was a little girl) and worked through a few 3-Point Lighting Setups.
I particularly liked they way this one looked:
I used two Aputure Amaran HR6272S LED panels for my main instruments. The one with the umbrella is my key light. The one in back is being used more as a hair light.
To the right you can see a smaller 316 LED panel. It was dimmed down to where it was barely on; just enough to add a bit of fill to the right side of the face. I kept it dim enough to portray contour and modeling which makes the face more 3-dimensional.
Suspended above is the Rode NTG-2 Shotgun Mic. My trusty Sony FS-100 HD camera is visible in the foreground.
Here is what the camera saw:
