thanks. no it's actually not natural light. the window was covered with diffusion and a blonde shot through it. the other window in the room was gelled with cto, not much light coming through it but i didn't want the shadows to go blue, and then foamcore on the low right to make his face a bit more 3d.
a blonde bounced off a piece of foamcore and then through a 4x4 diffusion frame, about four meter away, at an angle where it just started to wrap over to her right eye, and flagged off the back wall, the white left wall providing fill automatically. there's also a slight kicker from high up on the right, a hard redhead source. i think we flagged it off so much that it's hardly visible in this particular shot.
all day exteriors were shot in natural light with foamcore bounce for fill and the above mentioned flashlight as an eyelight on the closeups. it was mostly overcast both days of shooting, but we created that look ourselves on some shots by shading the sun with diffusion or placing the scene under a tree. the exception is the greenhouse scene in which we used the blonde with a half blue to simulate morning light at noon. burning out the sky in telecine helped sell that too.
yes.
