I am trying to shoot a forest amphitheatre scene creating a night fire scenario. I had planned on shooting at night- had a 10K skypan for ambience, several 2K's with flicker boxes and shooting through the flames of individual fires to create the scene.
Trouble is now that we are a week out from shooting we lost our night permits. The residents in the area weren't happy about us shooting all night. We can still use the location during the day however.
The amphitheatre we are using is open to the sky with a few trees providing some mixed cover and shadows. The weather is supposed to be sunny next weekend which will cause shadow problems and overall look issues.
One idea I've been toying with is to get a large camouflage canopy cover and try to break up the sky. Trouble I have with this is shadow issues again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
Please help.
