Jaco Jansen Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi all I'm shooting an underwater 'mermaid' sequence soon. Planning to light using 2.5K HMI's from an angle outside a 5m deep pool. The backround will be blacked out, and I will flag the lightspill on it hoping to render the background as a black & empty void. Any pointers regarding HMI beam angles for effective penetration into the water? Im trying to achieve something like the atached frame.. Thanx mermaid.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Minehan Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi, I did something like this before in a Navy Divers pool where they do scuba diving training. if i remember correctly the pool was of similar depth. We used a 2.5k HMI PAR. and punched it right on to the subject scuba diving near the bottom of the pool. The floor of the pool was light blue, so we got a little bit of bounce of the floor of the pool too. We were shooting with a digital Beta (roughly at 250 ASA). regards Ken minehan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert duke Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I think I saw the setup for this. I believe they used 6 underwater pars (1200's) from underneath. It was shot at ?fantasea? stage pool in LA. Check out the sea par web sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
