Little did I realise that a single line should promote such a response.
David Mullen, of course, is on the case. I only humbly mentioned 'backlight' in the sincere hope that the originator of the topic might need to employ it. Since. looking at the question. We are in the confines of a British prison cell. The keylight, during daylight hours would be the single window, high up on the outer wall. Of course, were it a night interior a coarse single source centre light. In any event, a backlight may be of some use to 'wash' out the spill from the screen scarcely an additive exposure. Whatever happens, at least these days (using video) one can see the composite result on the playout monitor. Unlike, my time when I might spend the night kneeling and praying (and me an atheist too) that the bath would be spot on. As I write to you from what is affectionately known as 'The Cutting Room' I am blessed. Never before could I write,shoot and post an entire production. We all live in the most exciting of times. Please treat my original post as a fart from a dinosaur. Perhaps you may look out for my forthcoming dissertation "The exponential properties of knicker elastic for the manual rostrum cameraman." Anyway. I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a prosperous and creative New Year. Just shoot it................
