Maybe he is holding a lantern just above his head, or maybe there is one hanging from a tree. It is a camp after all. I advise you to watch the robbery night scene in " The assignation of Jessie James " for reference . It sounds like you don't have enough light for moonlight effect in a Forest. Usually it requires big face lights and strong. I would go tight and use the hmi as backlight for the trees only. Put them as high as you can and flag the ground. Also try using some smokes, helps alot sometimes. Sounds like a challenge , which is great!! Post some grabs once your done . Good luck

Hey guys, Here is A link to the new music video I shot for Alon Landa's new single - So Easy. Shot on F3 with Zeiss high speed mk.II. Enjoy and tell me what you think. Nadav. P.s. It's Hebrew but alot of fun so don't be alarmed.

Hi all, I'm looking for a reference of an indoor scene in which the light coming from the window is yellowish(orange even) and the practical light inside is bluish (preferred fluorescent). Any one know of a movie/tv/etc.. with this specific setup? Thank you, Nadav.

This is a new music video I shot for the Israeli rock band "The Club". It was shot on RED using 18mm Zeiss high speed lens. Most of it is 2k and 120fps. It was greatly inspired by the beautiful music video made by the Focuscreeps for the song "Hellhole Ratrace" (by the girls). Enjoy.

This was actually the first place I posted. I did it accidentally and couldn't find a way to erase it. Sorry.

I'll go do some more tests, aimed for post. I'll post them here for review when they are worthy of attention. Thank you all for your inputs. I

Thank you David for the quick reply. I'm actually trying to find a way to keep the sodium yellowish color but in a nice way. Any advice doing that?

(I accidentally posted this topic also in the Cinematographer section) Hey everyone, I'm about to shoot a short on August with a lot of night exteriors. Most of the locations are streets in Tel-Aviv which are usually lit with the famous sodium vapor lights (the low pressure yellow-orange ones). I'll probably be shooting on EX3 or F900 and looking for the best way to shoot those lights. I want to keep their yellowish quality but in a nice and natural way. According to some tests I did I fear a simple WB wont be enough and some camera or post manipulation are needed. any advice on camera settings? WB? post work? Also I need some advice with gel configuration for matching 3200k light to the sodium ones. A configuration that will be nice for skin tone. Any other advice on handling those vapors will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, Checking it out right away.

I took a workshop with him at the latest Camerimage Filmfest. It blew me away.

I'm Looking for a camera equipment rental house in Montpellier, France or any near by area. I need a good rental house with HD cameras like EX3 and also lighting equipment. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like the EX3 is a great choice. Its probably the cheapest 1080x1920 camera available. I recommend you test the Letus adapter and your set of lenses against the standard Sony lens . Keep in mind operating issues as well. Good luck

Thank you Ram, Its a real honor. see you all next year.
