hi
Shot an entire short film in a car. Action took place before dawn and a little after sunrise. The car was parked so i didn-t have problems about shooting while the car was in motion.
I also used some "compact fluorescent bulbs that screw into a standard edison socket"..turned out cost effective and did the job quite well, very similar to a car kit. For the shots after the sunrise i also used some lighting from the exterior of the car but no more than 2 X 500W light sources.
At one point, the characters fall asleep and they wake up shortly after the sunrise. One of them turns off the light inside the car. The too lights from the exterior do their job but you can still "feel" the light from inside the car as it is turned off. Placed it right above the rear view mirror and didn-t bother me with any of the shots. Only problem was shooting from the back seat had to tilt the camera a bit but still had the mirror in the shot to see the character reflected as he was talking.
good luck with your shooting
