Hi, could someone give me an idea of how this lighting affect was achieved in the new Brad Pitt Chanel No. 5 commercial.

They somehow created a reflected golden light along the walls as though it was reflected off a large bottle of the aftershave.

Is it as simple as reflecting a lamp off a bottle / pool of water, kind of like what you do with a watch-face in bright sunlight against a wall.

Some advice please and apologies for the link in advance if it isn't allowed

Many thanks.

Hi I'm looking for any breakdowns of the early Ridley scott movies (Alien, Blade Runner, Legend, Black Rain) which illustrate from shot to shot which focal lengths were used either in text or image form.

Does anyone know if anything like this exists?

Many thanks

You can create that with the blades inside a Source-4 Leko. The brightest would be a Joker 800 HMI Source-4 Leko conversion. The brightest tungsten is the 750w version.

 

If you want two stripes with one light, you'd need to order a special gobo for the Leko with that pattern.

Just the one stripe.

Appreciate the help. Very kind of you.

It's not meant to cover the entire car, just sections at a time so a beam three inches or so wide and as long as I can get it hopefully at least two to three feet long.

Hi all,

I would like to pull off some unique lighting idea for a project I saw something similar on another project.

Basically it involves using a light of somekind to create a narrow beam of light that has as little feathering across as possible and can be used to flash over a car.

As though the light was a beam around three to four inches across and as long as the shot requires so we can see it 'scan' over surfaces.

The image I found is this.

Couldn't this be a simple practical lighting effect which would make the days shoot far easier to control than doing multiple passes or VFX.

It would be great to hear from you all.
