Martin Solvang Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Hey, I´m testin stock again and thought I´d try new methods this time. I´ve pretty much done the same stuff every time I´ve tested stocks so, time for change.. What kind of tests do you guys do? Any special techniques? What do you communicate to the lab etc? (Anything other than the ASC test is welcome.) Thanks.. Edited February 9, 2010 by Martin Solvang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted February 11, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted February 11, 2010 I don't do anything special, testing-wise. I do an up and down exposure test on a flat-lit subject. I do a lighting contrast ratio test of a half-lit subject. I test any diffusion filters I might use. I sometimes light someone with full orange and then full blue to see how saturated that gets. I test anything specific to that production that I'm worried about.

Side-light a face and then use different amounts of fill -- 2-under, 3-under, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
