  1. I have a 2k light that will be outside shining in through a window, the light is tungsten so I wanted to figure out a way to block the sunlight around it. The window is about 2ft x 3ft, the light will be about 2-3 feet away from the window. Im trying to figure out what materials to use and do it as inexpensively as possible. The interior lights are tungsten as well so I don't want to gel the light blue and then gel the window orange because it would stop the light down too much. Thanks in advance for any help!!
  2. We have a 2k coming in a bathroom window about 2ft x 3ft window, light will be approx 3 feet away from the window.
  3. There are several different lengths available 3", 12" , 18" etc. How do you choose which ones you need for which situations? Initially I am only going to purchase one and am wondering what I should go with. Thanks in advance!
  4. What is the best way and best materials to use to block out the sunlight around a light shining into a window? Definitely trying to do it for as little money as possible. :) Thanks in advance for any help!!
  5. What are some of the main differences between a filter you put directly on a lens versus using a filter in a mattebox? Obviously a mattebox filter would allow you to change lenses and use the same filter but other than this are there any other pros or cons? Thanks in advance for any help! ;)
  6. Anyone know the approximate color temperature of those blue 150 watt reptile lights? I have included a link http://www.ozbo.com/Reptile-Red-Bulb-Night/M/B000YJ0L7O.htm Thanks in advance!
  7. Thanks for the advice guys! Paul, removing the roof was the first thing we tried. We had it cut and then removed via airlift by four helicopters but city officials immediately showed up and told us we had to put the roof back on the house or pay a very high fine. So it looks like I will have to go with the other ideas instead ;)
  8. I am doing a shoot in a couple of weeks and wanted to get some input. I will be shooting with an HVX200. Everything takes place in a house that has lots of windows. In the script it takes place from 10:00am until around 5:00pm. For our shoot we are trying to shoot from about 8am to 6pm. Its a drama and i wanted very soft lighting augmented by the lights coming through the windows. here are the questions I have 1) Should I cover the windows with an ND gel, if so how many stops should I decrease by? 2) Should i use orange gels on the windows to match the color of the tungsten lighting we will be using or should I change all the interior lights to blue or keep both temperatures? 3) What kind of lights would you recommend using? I have a couple of 500 watt soft boxes but didnt know where to go from there. I will also have some silks, flags, and 4 500 watt lights. 4) If I should gel the windows, what is the best kind of tape to use to put the gels up? We are shooting at someones home so I dont want to leave any residue on anything. Also, does the color of the tape matter much? If someone could provide a link to some products that would be really awesome. Thanks in advance for any help, any other advice, tips or suggestions would be most welcome! -Clay
