Do I have to? No. Did I want to? Yes. Am I crazy? Does that need an answer? I felt like a lot of students just do shorts and not that there's anything wrong with shorts, but if you can pull off a feature while in school you've got major cajones. We've got about 95% of photography done. What's lacking is the aforementioned shot. It's about 6 pages left out of a 103 page script. The principal photography was done over 10 days (my spring break) and this final scene is 1/2 reshoot 1/2 finish shoot. I'll post a trailer once we've got an edit. - Ken PS I really appreciate the input! :D

I've got a budget...an ultra-low micro one :P From the moment it was suggested I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to attempt something like that but occasionally there's a no budget alternative that works out pretty well. Thought I'd flatter my exec and at least look into it.

Believe it or not but the Brevis works great in low light conditions. I think the whole setup only loses about half a stop of light. That being said I don't think I have the logistical capability to recreate day at night. I can't even begin to imagine how many 20k's I'd need.

I have the Duel Adapter and I have found that it'll DL to an internal hard drive slightly faster than realtime. If you go to an external Firewire 800 drive it's just slightly slower than realtime.

Agreed, I used the Brevis35 on a feature I just shot and we never had any trouble with it cutting too much light. Even with the flip module you won't lose but 1 stop (.7 or .8 I think)

I'm assuming that's a 20x20 black flag?

Hello everyone, My name is Ken Morris and I am a student at SMU in Dallas, TX. I'm currently producing and directing a feature film as my last hurrah before graduation. Anyway, my exec has really latched on to the idea of faking daylight...at night. He says it adds a creepy feel that we wouldn't get during the day. My response is, it's an ultra-low budget film composed of other students, how would we do that. His response, get some lights.... <_< My exec is willing to pay for it the only problem is I have no idea how to do even approach such a scene. It's about a 6 min scene with five characters and a moderate amount of movement. We're shooting on the HVX200 with a Brevis35 adapter. Thanks in advance, - Ken
