hello,

Film or Video?What camera or how many ASA?Also how many FPS?

It looks to me you are planning to use too much light for this room.

If you don't have any special effect like slow motion or anything ?

As I mentioned in my last sentence I'm shootin video (HDV) with Sony FX1.

I did some tests today with 1/4 sail grid and yes, the ammount of light I planned to use is quite a lot. I guess I'll settle with just a few floods that will cover the overhead very nicely.

Thanks!

I'm shooting a short which has a scene taking place in a very small (three 2½m wide walls, one has a window with shades) interior set with some furniture and an actor. Mostly close ups or medium shots, but also one or two wider shots.

I was planing to put an 8x8' ½ sailgrid overhead as a "ceiling" with six or eight 1k par64s punching through it to create a soft overall light . I also have three 650w fresnels and variety of small openfaces to light some details.

Any opinions on this setup would be nice, especially about my overhead lightsource if it's going to work properly. I'm shooting HDV with Sony FX1.

Jost Vacano held a Kodak sponsored lecture in Helsinki few months ago about his work in Das Boot and he said it was shot on Fuji :)
