Yeah its a night scene... Do you guys have any suggestions about the colors. I wanted to have yellow/green light coming in from the outside and mix it with red light from bulbs hanging on the ceiling. Any experience with effect gels? Which mix good

Yes, there are two windows along the top of the drawing. It is a built set. I can arrange the walls. I am planning to not show the outside of those two windows. Only the window on the right will have something like a neonsign behind it. My fill light will be red (or maybe even blacklight aka congo blue lee filters on those soft lights). The cross lighting is correct. I would only use some fresnels for rimlights (on standby).

http://s7.directupload.net/images/130629/822ukqg4.jpg Hi, I am studying cinematography (first year) and we are about to shoot our first studio exercise. I wanted to ask you about my lighting setup. What do you think of it? The story is a about a prostitute and a punter. She can't cope with her life anymore (there is no space for real love in this profession...) I wanted to create a very moody, gritty lighting design. I wanted to add a lot of texture (gobos, gradients) to the lighting to keep it quite hard. Color contrast was quite important to me as well (not always the same orange, blue lighting). Do you have any further suggestion? Any help is much appreciated. I will keep you updated!! :) :wub: :) Cheers, David
