Miguel Zamora Jr Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I will be shooting a short in about a month, and one of the scenes is a night exterior. I wanted to use Kodak 250D/200T in order to have less grain, and the lights I will have available are Inkies, Tweenies, Babies, Soft 2Ks, Broad 1K, Lowell Lightomh Kits 1K, Kino Flo 4Bank. I am wondering if these lights would be enough for a night ext with a 250D/200T stock. I am seriously considering doing Day for Night in order to use this stock, but that's a different beast. This is essentially a lighting assignment for my Advanced Cinematography clas, but I am turning it into a short. Thank you, Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Miguel Hi Miguel, With that size lighting package I'd consider staging the night exteriors in front of an area thats reasonably well lit with existing street/shop lights and use the package you have to model your foreground and midground. If you shoot close to wide open you should be able to light a reasonable area of the foreground with your 2K's and model with the smaller units, while maintaing a nice balance with the existing street lights. If however you're working in a poorly lit area and you're trying to light for very wide shots then you'll need to add some larger units to your lighting package.
