In an ideal world I?d have all the time and money for tests. That would be in an ideal world, unfortunately ambitious student projects aren't always ideal! As a compromise, I?m hoping I can turn to some of u with more experience than me. So you?ll find below a short description of the scenes that I would like to b able to test extensively but can?t. Any help, comments, suggestions would b truly appreciated.
FIRE SCENE: It?s an ext/night scene. It?s the part of the short film that?s to b different from the rest as we follow Ghosts that represent smoke invading the homes of a village. The entire scene is to b shot outdoors using only a crane and steadicam. The establishing shot must show the whole village (all in all 6 houses). So I?ve decided to llight those 6 houses from the interior, but can?t figure out what kind of light to use for moonlight nor how to simulate fire. Could anyone b of any help? Also would u advise shooting Day for Night, and if yes would anyone have any pics to support this.
TV SCENE: INT/NIGHT. I do want a flicker and quite a bit of blue, it?s an absurd scene as well as the turning point of the story. The TV needs to b present, obviously present. So I know what I want, but not sure how to best achieve it. Again, if anyone has any useful ideas, they would be appreciated.
HOW TO CHOSE HMIs: INT/MORNING. I?d like the windows to b burnt out. I have in mind to use a 6K ArriSun with Chimera Speedring a each window.
Does anyone have any different suggestions?
I've attached a still from Eternal Sunshine to illustrate what I have in mind.
COLOR ENHANCER FILTER: I'm looking to make the reds pop in 2 of the scenes. Would anyone have any stills taken using this specific filter?
CHEERS!
