hi all....................... i am making a war TV serial....I have already got some good pieces of advise for the lighting.....thanx for all who polled for that........... now my upcoming task is to edit the war seq.... i am looking to buy good sfx for war (world war II) and also a software in which i can create my own sound effects..... please suggest.................what to buy and from where...???? hope to hear you guys soon.......... armughan

Thanks for the suggestion spider, The look I want is darker. I want to lit my background as the moon light and my soldiers in silhouette. I might get a 12kW HMI as well. I think it can help me creating a good background (diffused) and I am planning to use 6KW HMI (diffused) to be used for backlighting the soldiers. Another question is when using 12kW HMI (diffused) what height and distance should the source have from the main frame. (The master shot will cover about 100m in width the distance of the soldiers from the background will vary) armughan

I have to shoot a modern battle scene at night. The location is a hill forest (ascending), I have 2 HMIs of 6k each. How should I place these lights especially in the Long shots (with about 70 men in the scene). are these lights enough for the requirment? if not how much do i need? what are the options to shoot the night sequence in the day light?(what filters etc) what time of day is good for that? can other lights (like solors, 2k 3k etc) help me creating some interesting shadows and fills. armughan
