Thanks Edgar. The colour temperature on camera was big worry but now i think i got it. So if i want daylight and my light its coming from the sun my camera needs to be on 5600k to get white light. Consequently if i set 3200k sun light will be bluish for camera and tungten white? I never thought about mixing tubes but i could be a really interesting option probably i´d choice to use daylight tubes with CTO to not loose light which is a big fear to me. Finally if i shot this daylight scene in night can i fake sun light with 5000KW? There is a possibility that with mid and close-up shots without showing the window i can fake the sun light?

Dave Florida is far far away. im shooting in Lima. Thanks for the formula i´ll try to get the best of it. About the time on location before the shoot is just a quick wall-through probably one or two hours. Probably tomorrow or Saturday About the mood of the bedroom scene i want to show a character that have sex "without love" and about the the living room the mood is "nostalgia". The bounce light could be a good alternative i hope that day i have time to test all my options of lighting acording to your recomendations. I´ll let you know about the visit to location. Thanks

Thanks for your answer Dave. You are right i should use the most natural light as possible and moving the furniture and actors in case i need to use 5000kw is a good idea. About the window. it will appear in a establishment shot and then probably as a background during the dialogue between the characters. So if i use natural daylight or a 5000kw with CTB i need to set the camera balance in 3200k right? Then I´d like to know if there is a formula to calculate the distance between a 5000kw and the actors in order to not overpowering them and get a 3:1 contrast ratio and then fill with kinos to get a 2:1 contrast ratio. I have always decide where to put the lights when i get to the location but if i can do that calculation on paper before the shooting it could save me a lot of time.

Greetings I will be shooting next week a living room and bedroom scene and i want my key light coming from the window. To lit the scene i got arri 5000w 2 diva lites and 2 2ft kino flo. I´d like to put the 5000w as key light outside the windows and fill with kinos but im afraid the distance for 5000w could be too short (like 5m) and get my actors uncomfortable beacuse the intensity of the light. Also i´d like to show the walls cooler and the actors warmer mixing light temperature. Mostly of shot will be filming on the mornig but a couple will be at night Please any sugestion will be a great help. Im kind of newbie. Im still studying. Thanks for your answers. Jose I am shooting with a panasonic hvx 200.
