Hello all, We are shooting in Alaska in a couple of weeks and already have a plan to keep our camera, lens, and batteries warm. However, what affect will the extreme cold have on our lights? The temperature is expected to be 30 degrees below zero and we are going to use 1K Arri Fresnel lights. Is there anything special we should do? I was thinking of removing the globes when not in use and keeping them in an insulated case. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to ask such a simple question, but I'm renting some filters and was wondering how they would mount on the camera. I'm using an Eclair ACL 16mm camera and I'm looking to rent an 85 filter set. What's the difference between "series 9", 4x4, 4 1/2 round, 138 round, etc in terms of filters? How do they mount on the camera? Any information would be helpful. I certainly don't want to rent the wrong ones. Thanks Nelson

Got it. Thanks. I'm definitely just going to lose the light. Nelson

Thank you very much for the help. I understand what you are saying. I don't have a color temp meter, but I believe it's a cool white. That would be rated at 4100K right? Anyway, I will probably just turn off the light. But if the daylight coming in from the window is not enough, what types of other light sources do you suggest I use?

Hello, I'm extremely new to this DP stuff and needed a little advice on lighting. I'm shooting a kitchen scene using 200T 16mm film. There's a big window letting in daylight and an overhead fixture of fluorescent tubes (Cool White). I've decided to use an 85 Filter to balance the window light to Tungesten. The fluourescent tubes are not rated at Tungsten, so how do I balance it without buying special tungsten tubes? Do I use a magenta gel or can I use full CTB? Please help. Thanks Nelson
