  1. Thank you everyone for your answers! For the moonlight background, I'll do how you said and how I imagined, so I'll get something big and put it full flood far away. Yeah I don't want to lit the background too much, but just slightly more than the Dark screenshot. As for the recreating the light of the Bill Henson photo, I kept looking and imagined using one ARRI Fresnel 300 for the yellowish cast and one daylight HMI (like the ARRI D5) for the soft blueish light (or maybe another tungsten with CTB depending on budget). In all the takes, I'll use the blueish light as a key and the yellow tungsten as a backlight. Do you think this is enough? All the best, G.
  2. Thank you for your answer! The bus stop will be in the middle of nowhere, so there will be no road lights. Yes I thought of LCD panels as they are quite convenient and easy to use. What kind of tungsten do you have in mind? I was also wondering about lighting the background (which will be woods too), but I'm not sure about which kind of light to choose as I don't think we'll have enough budget to get big skypanels. So I thought about some kind of light and a big diffusion frame.
  3. Yes, the whole scene takes place at night at this bus stop. At the beginning the characters will be in the bus stop but then they walk a bit, not so far, but the light will need to different as they won't be lit by the bus stop. Concerning the color temperatures mix, yes it is first a pure aesthetic decision as the director and I really like this color palette, and then because the short has an ethereal and dreamy story and we wanted to convey that with a special lighting.
  4. Hello! As a very little experienced cinematographer, I have been hired to work on a very small budget short movie. It will take place in the countryside at a bus stop next to the road during the night. I talked with the director about the look and tone of the lighting and we agreed to go for a specific look. The bus stop will be lit using something like one or two Kino Flo 2 bank located at the top (like this scene from the TV series 'Dark'). For the rest of the shots where the two characters will not be in the bus stop, I want to create the kind of look we can find in the photography of Bill Henson, specially where the characters are lit directly and where the key and fill lights have two opposite temperatures (the key is warm and the fill pretty cold) like this shot. So I was thinking of mixing two different lights one 5600k and one 3200k or getting two 3200k and using a CTB on one of them and rate the camera in-between. Or maybe using a LED litepanel if it can be cheaper. Am I on the good track ? All the best, G.
  5. Thank you for you replies. Will Montgomery: For some reasons I can't see your attached photo. I'm considering buying something like this. Does this work? Thank you.
  6. Hi, I wanted to know if there was a way of simply taking single photographs with a Super 8 camera. I have a Canon 814 Auto Zoom and I know there is a way of doing this with the remote control which I don't have. Is there a way to replace it? How can you then for example scan the film frame? Thank you, Guillaume
  7. This film is hilarious, I laugh every time I see it.
  8. Thanks! I shot using auto exposure, so I guess it's ok.
  9. Thank you, so I guess I'm fine. What are the effects of overexposure on reversal stock?
  10. I shot few outdoor scenes. When I inserted the Ektachrome 100D cartridge, the filter switched from the bulb to the the sun. So I shot with this filter : Is it the good one? Thank you!
  11. Thank you for your reply, Mark. So I'll be shooting using the daylight filter, I think the orange can fit the scene pretty well ;) Another thing: another scene takes place in the berm of a mountain road, South facing. I live in the Southeast of France and there will be a lot of sun, so I thought about shooting the scene during the golden hour at the morning to avoid over-exposure. Is that a good idea? Because I don't have a ND filter.
  12. Thank you Matt. I'm going to shoot it at 18fps to get more time per cartridge. I would like to ask another question regarding lighting. I want to shoot an indoor scene of a man talking to the camera behind a table with a very little (25W) incandescent lamp on it, with the sunlight arriving from the right, lighting the character. I made a draft of the scene: So I know we can choose between daylight filter and Tungsten filter for indoor shooting. But since I have these two types of light lighting the scene, I don't really know what kind of filter to choose. Can anybody light me up about which filter I have to choose? Thank you!
  13. Thank you for the information. What do by "only meant for the internet or home use"? What are the uses where 18fps can cause problems?
  14. I really love your film, it's very funny actually :P So do you mean fps has no effect on sound sync problem?
  15. Yes, I have an iPhone, I'll check this apps. Finally, I'm thinking about shooting at 24fps because of dialogues and sound sync.
  16. Thank you for your reply and advice. I'll try to multiply shots to avoid this sync problem.
  17. Hello everyone, First, I'm a total newbie to Super 8, so there's a high chance that I'll say stupid things. I bought a Canon Auto Zoom 814 recently in the aim of shooting a short film at 18fps (about 7-8 minutes) with it and a bunch of Kodak Ektachrome 100D. I'll record sound and dialogues with an external microphone and then sync it with film in post. The movie itself is composed of 2 indoor scenes and 2 outdoor scenes. It's kind of a gangster movie which each scenes are mainly focused on characters. I wanted to go with film because this is how I think a film has to look, and I love the picture. I wanted to have the look of the classic films. I would like to know if some of you could give me some very general advices before starting shooting. Thank you a lot, Guillaume
