Since your shooting with 5D, and have the high sensitivity ASA to adjust as you go, I would say use the Harris Savides approach and use Kinos with Daylight tubes over the windows to continue the push and create a soft more wrapping light. Then maybe get some Joker/Leikos with 50 and 36degree beams to create edges. If you have an 18k or two in your budgets it wouldnt be terrible idea to push them through the windows from far away so you get sharper/harder shadows. Hopefully your classroom faces a direction that the high summer sun doesnt set into or rise into -creating a flagging situation. Have a great shoot- joe

I shot this video, I used Blue gel on some of it and I change the color temperature of the camera to enhance it further so the LUT has a good reference of what the final would look like- Heres the final video- http://www.vimeo.com/15916937 More of my work here- http://www.vimeo.com/user2270462/videos Twitter here- http://twitter.com/#!/joelabisi Still Photography here- https://www.facebook.com/pages/Joseph-Labisi-Photography/112413345514629?ref=hnav Have a great day-

I finished two features this year, the first with the Varicam...The second I insisted on shooting S16, I wasn't going to do it on the Varicam, I could'nt. The situations did not lend themselves to being attached to cabling at all times... (I alway's have a D.I.T. when shooting video- hence the cabling) Ok, So we all get it, I prefer film...That being said... I would definitley use a Viper or Genesis over a Varicam- in any situation. The Varicam looks soft, yes I said it, SOFT. When its not sitting side by side with another image, it looks good enough, But, book end it by commercials shot on S35 and you'll know what I mean. The Viper looks amazing in filmstream 4.4.4 and will do a 720P 60frames, So the Varicam "advantage" goes out the window for me... Im being very short (due to time) But- from what I just saw at Panavision last week, I think Im really liking the Genesis (The viewing system is far superior to everything else out there- aside from the D20 which is optical :) and I can use all My Lenses I have used my entire career! ) The Viper is a great tool, especially with the venom packs- making it less cumbersome (your d.i.t.- plugs in, checks, and detaches) and your free to move about the cabin...anyway, I have to go so Im not late for my scout :)- Joseph Labisi Director of Photography Local 600 www.JosephLabisi.com
