There is also Dedolight's PANAURA that looks similar to the Briese. I've never used a Briese though so I can't compare it.:-)

Thank you David! As usual, a very clear explanation!

Sorry David, but can you expound on the science (or math) of this theory?

Hello everyone! I will be shooting a film in a few days. It is set in the aftermath of lahar flows from the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. Houses then were half finished and mostly lit with one incandescent bulb per room. I plan, of course, to have the practical source maybe with a 100W bulb but other than I am stumped. I would like to ask for some ideas how to light it as such but make it look more interesting. I will be shooting with the Canon C300 at 850 ISO, hopefully get a f4 stop at key. Thanks!! Nor

Check out the thread in this forum entitled "Big Sur" by David Mullen. He has some screen grabs there and discusses how he set-up his forest shot. Just to give you an idea.

Well, the hardest thing for me is trying to keep the eyelight source from keying the subject.:(

Was that an optical zoom at 0:16?

It's not on the legend on the bottom.

Hi again! Interested in seeing more of your work but I can't see the images. Were they pulled out because of restrictions?

Inspiring! Proof that one doesn't need tons of equipment to make a film look beautiful! Question about how you lit the shooting range: Was that all practicals or did you add anything to light the subject? I suppose the greenish cast is from the flourescents?

Saw an article in AC magazine April '09 issue in the Post-Focus section, Peter Wunstorf made a DIY spacelight with a laundry hamper from IKEA. Very nice! Any idea what light he put in there?

You are absolutely right! It never crossed my mind to have actors walk over the bounce instead of following them around with reflectors. And the CONVENIENCE!! I'm going to buy tons of white sheets!! HAhaha

Thanks so much for this post. Just shows how much I still need to learn especially with shooting digital. SOme of the terms(knee, detail, etc) I still need to look up. I won't bother asking you what those are. My question, actually is very simple. You said shooting exteriors you use bounce boards and white sheets. Is there a difference in quality between the bounce boards(Foam core?) and the white sheets?

Yes!! Thanks very much. Gave me lots of ideas.
