Mike Barlas Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi everybodyTo clarify my older post. I am trying to light a room that is 30ft long 16ft wide and 15 ft tall with three 4 bank kino's. The room is wood and will be dark, except for some minimal house lights, 5x 30 watts halogens on the ceiling.Which I can change the bulbs to 150watts if need be. I want to create a slightly underexposed background ambience, where detailsare visible. But the room is NOT fully lit. Similair to this reference photo:Ignore the color cast please.I want to use the three Kino 4 Banks to light the background only, butI wouldn't mind some of that background light spilling on the sides of the actors, such as in the photo.Hope this makes sense.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted October 8, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted October 8, 2013 You'd basically have to rig them parallel to the long direction every six feet -- assuming these are 4' 4-bank Kinos -- so after 6', you hang the first one, then there's another 6' gap, then you hang the next Kino, etc. If you have enough exposure, since you want a dim ambience, you could cover the outside of the Kino doors with diffusion like 216. You'd probably still want a couple more Kinos on stands for lighting people in their closer shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Barlas Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi David, Thank's for your reply. Yes, these are 4' 4 bank kinos. Thank's for the rigging advice. So i will rig the Kino's on one wall, and film our shots across on the other wall and middle of room say 10 ft away. And diffuse as needed. I have some Lee 250 half white diffusion and 420 light opal frost. I was concerned about the Kino light fall off. At 6ft they produce 84fc or 775lux, but I have no idea what that will look like. I will do a test but not under exact conditions. For the close ups of the actors I plan to light them more dramatically. With a 1k tungtsen fresnel and fill with a 650 watt tungsten fresnel with diffusion 250 doubled. similar to this photo, but with longer shadows that are filled in more. http://mimg.ugo.com/200805/23238/cuts/romper-stomper_480x480.jpg I hope to use above set up for groups of three or four, but flood the fresnels more? I do have access to a couple 750 plus open faced fresnels... Thank's again David, your time and input are much appreciated. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
