Owen Cant Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hi all, I have a shoot coming up where I may be shooting in a boardroom full of glass. Myself and the director have a few shots planned where we will be looking towards glass directly in front of camera whilst tracking laterally and panning. So I am anticipating getting into reflections hell and planning how to negate this. My instinct is: -Use a rota pola -black neg/black drape the entire wall behind camera/dolly -cover the whole dolly, camera and accessories and their LED lights with black bolton/blackout cloth But wondering if there's something I am missing or certain moves/angles I should avoid- perhaps so that they reflection reducing effect of the rota pola remains consistent despite the camera moving. Photo of location attached. Just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any tips? Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted September 2, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted September 2, 2023 Yes, use black on the camera, dolly, crew, and wall behind the camera, cut the light off of that area, and minimize who can be in the room (park the director & monitor behind the black wall, not in front of it, etc.). Shallow focus will help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
