Burak Oguz Saguner Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hi ladies and gentlemen, I am preparing for a short film at the moment. The story is about life of a cab driver and it will be shot on HD. The script requires a lot of night time scenes in a cab. Currently I am looking for references. Does anyone have any suggestions, any still images, any films to have a look or lighting techniques, equipment? If you could take the time and give me some recommendations I will be grateful. Thank you for your time in advance Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted August 29, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted August 29, 2009 HBO used to have a series called "Taxicab Confessions," I think which had hidden cameras inside of cabs, might be interesting to use that as a reference though it's mostly about the passengers.

Steve McBride Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Definitely watch Collateral, you'll get a lot of good ideas from there. The August 2004 issue of AC has an article "Hell on Wheels, Paul Cameron and Dion Beebe, ACS take hi-def video to extremes on Collateral." You can get the back issue from the ASC store for $25 here http://www.ascmag.com/store/product.php?pr...at=0&page=1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Smith Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 The taxi cab scenes in the beginning of Suspiria deserve mention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
