Guest Anastasia Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I am directing a short film shot during night-time. I've included two reference pictures for the look. I have spoken to quite a few DOPs and they are all advising me against shooting this on HD or actually any digital format to get this look. I would like to hear your opinions of the type of problems I could run into if I was to go for HD. It seems like I would actually need more lighting than shooting on film and I keep being warned about the blacks. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted August 9, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted August 9, 2005 I don't see why you couldn't get that look in HD but could on film. You just may have to underexpose the dappled light a little more to keep the spots from clipping and increase the soft underexposed top fill to compensate (on the shot of the couple.) I might crush the blacks a little too. Looks like some diffusion might be needed, like a Soft-FX. The dreaminess of the shots may be a case where the P&S Technik Pro-35 adaptor and some Super-Speeds may help create a really shallow-focus look.
