We are shooting some pick-ups for a feature- a night exterior on a road for a car chase and crash. Have had different people suggest a few HMI 1200s or 2 4ks hung high and back. Basically we are just trying to get moonlight look, but want to make sure it is bright enough to capture the crash. We're shooting on the panasonic 3000 24p, with 3 hvx200s as B cams. Any suggestions on light plot or gear would be much appreciated. PS: If this sounds remedial - it probably is BUT our DP took a music video which conflicts with the shoot and we can't push for a ton of reasons. - Thanks again

Shooting a feature on the DVX100-a. A question has come up : The producer wants to shoot 4:3 and crop to16:9 "if we get a limited theatrical release" - the DP feel the we should shoot 16:9 with the anamorphic adapter and crop off the edges for TV or DVD. They have left the option to me as director. I'm inclined to think the anamorphic would give us a better picture even if we crop to full screen - and this will maintain quality if we get a theatrical? Is this correct? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
