i like their product range. seems to me like generica of the lighting industry. i am located in europe and i wanted to buy their offerings via amazon, but there are some accessories that i better get directly from them. making a long story short. i don't want to transfer money around the world to crooks. from what i see they seem quite okay, but if anyone here has different experience please tell me either here or in a pm ... thnx a lot! g

thnx for the advice! ... good thing is it is my own project, so i can test light settings as long as i wish ... i will start with my arri setup and see where it takes me ... cu g

here are the location pics in a link to my blog. My link

not sure if this upload works, looks like i exceeded some upload quota ...

sorry, i struggle with uploading pics ...

great. i was 'afraid' it would be that simple. i have a follow up question. i intend to light a whole scene like this. it is rooftop at night and i plan to use a simple light source 45 degrees down. the action will take place on an area of 4-3 meters max. i shot at the same location already (i love it), but at that time the theme was different. it was a mental hospital scene with more light in general. i attach some pics. we used no soft source, just a bunch of arri 300 and 650, if i recall correctly. this time it will be a more tragic with a prostitute dying and i need to take the light a notch down, which i am thoroughly afraid of ... any advice most welcome. i was contemplating on buying a 1k-2k LED panel the other day. would save me worry about temperature, which concerns me since the rooftop is a wooden construction basically. but from what i read LEDs are not yet there where one would like them to be ... maybe i go for taking the arris again and soften them with a big white panel (don't know if that is the right term). or i buy some 2K light from kinoflo (vista beam 310 seems nice to my uneducated eye). plus i will go for a tick warmer look this time. don't know exactly how to achieve it yet. we will shoot with an F3, some sony primes and maybe support with a 5D here and there.

how do you think it was achieved? what puzzles me is the strong shadow and the mild light. could imagine it was photoshopped. i'm new to lighting, please have mercy if this question seems trivial for you.

my youtube channel i did something wrong with the link in the previous post and do not know how to edit it ... sorry for the inconvenience.

much work. great crew. learned a lot. comments appreciated.

i have been dreaming this for more than a decade now. wrote a script, rewrote it, rewrote it. it is a story that became very dear to me and i do want to shoot in on my own. i saved some money, have access to actor friends (i attended acting courses and played some theatre since i intend to play a part in the movie as well) and i am building now up a small team. we are doing commercial podcasting and build up what we need. we will do some short films to get enough practice for the big one. i think we will shoot on HD, since we have access to a recently bought sony HD. but maybe we try 16mm as well for a short and compare it. which i am afraid of, because ... well, pretty obvious why. i do not need anything at the moment. just wanted to get started here and test the waters on the board. thnx for your time. g
