  1. Hey guys. A few weeks ago I saw an ad somewhere online – I can't find it anymore, but really liked the effect they used to tell the story and would like to present it to one of my clients – because it would be perfect for a project we're doing right now. The ad was made up of a single tracking shot, with the camera pulling back through all these "layers" of the set: basically it started in one setting (like a room i think, i think there was a baby involved), then pulled back, revealing the room was just a set built in an otherwise empty room (maybe a warehouse?) – moving further back, revealing another set right in front of that one. And so on. Bascially each "set" was comprosised of big pieces of set design / props; a wall was just a piece of cardboard etc. For you to better understand what the hell I'm talking about, check out this music video by "Gesaffelstein": https://vimeo.com/68389373 You can see what I mean at from 0:28–0:35 and also from 1:40 –2:00. They might have done the first example with green screen, but the second part is basically what the ad was made up of: one set in front of the other, with the camera pulling back and revealing each set one by one. I would appreciate any help in finding this ad or any other video that resembles this! Thanks!
  2. Wonderful stuff, Guy. I think I speak for everyone in saying that all the details you provide are much appreciated.
  3. Stuart, yes i mean par cans. And thank you for clarifying regarding the CTB light loss. Zachary, I will be shooting on Red Epic, rating it at 800ISO. I'm trying to achieve a stop of 2.8 on the key (being the backlight from the par's in this case). I have to add, the row of windows will be covered to a certain extent by wooden boards. please see attached image of the row of windows. i'd say about 60-70% of each single window will be covered with wood. do you think I will get proper shafts using a 1k Par 64 on each of the windows?
  4. i'm researching films/commercials/etc in which the camera moves "through the wall" from one room to another. any links are appreciated, the more i have the better. to be more precise: 2 rooms are next to each other, we see a wide shot into the room, the camera dollies over to the side and enters the next room by passing the wall. i'm trying to pitch this concept to a client but having a hard time finding any references (though i've seen this a million times). also, i'm searching for music videos shot in a typical industrial apartment/loft. i appreciate your help. best, markus
  5. one more thing (editing the post doesn't seem to work): - do your recommend using an array of 1k pars per window in order to provide decent illumination of the light shafts, or would one per window (there are about 6 in total) provide (assuming they are the only light source + diffusion through haze)? i guess this also comes down to which bulb would be the right choice. i'm also asking this because i'm considering using the pars on scenes set in daylight, to provide daylight shafts trough windows. obviously, there would be a lot of light loss due to the strong gelling, the pars having a native temp of 3200k. right? i fear single 1ks won't be enough the get a shaft of light through the window at afternoon light. then again, i have no experience in how pars output their light :) thanks for your help. best, markus
  6. hey guys, i'm planning on using par 64s to create strong shafts of light coming through a row of windows, imitating moonlight. The action will be backlit entirely by this, some fill being provided by redish alarm lights in the foreground (practicals). I have never used par 64s before (but they make sense in terms of budget), so I'm unsure regarding the following issues: - in order to give the pars a blueish tint, i will have to gel them with some degree of ctb. how much light will i loose doing this / is the loss as significant as with tungsten lights? - i want my light shafts to be rather large, filling whole windows. i'm unsure whether i would need to go with a nsp in order to provide the necessary beam structure and if this will cover an area too small. will i be ok with a wide flood bulb or will it be impossible to get a strong shaft out of this? the interior will be hazed, of course. thanks for your help. best, markus
