LTM 18k vs Arri 18k
Albion Hockney replied to Joshua Echevarria's topic in Lighting for Film & Video
hmm wish I could give better insight. I'm not sure the actual difference in beam quality and brightness. if your on set and wish you had more light out of the 18k Fresnel its unlikely that an arrimax would make THAT much of a difference. -

LTM 18k vs Arri 18k
Albion Hockney replied to Joshua Echevarria's topic in Lighting for Film & Video
are you comparing against an Arrimax? if so and you need the power the Arrimax will be much brighter. if your talking about an Arri Fresnel I would imagine its similar? make sure the bulb and ballast are in good condition -
Faking Sunlight with a small crew
Albion Hockney replied to indiana wilson's topic in Lighting for Film & Video
if you over expose an overcast day and manage the fill side to create contrast. you can create a sunny feeling for sure. just manage your backgrounds.... don't show wide open vistas of overcast light instead treat the sky like a big soft source and find backgrounds with texture. keep in mind sunny days don't always have hard light in every frame. 600d as a little backlight in tighter shots will work okay for interiors. I might try to swing for a 1200d or m18 for one of your key lights. maybe even an M40 which can be handled by a crew of 2-3 if you don't use many lights. -
Looking to buy a barney for Arriflex SR2/3
Albion Hockney replied to Felix Finken's topic in Cine Marketplace
I think they are supposed to be quiet enough to shoot dialog no problem. might want to check there aren't other issues effecting the camera? -
I would rate my camera at 7500k white balance or so and just put 1/4 or 1/2 O on the Joker (as to not diminish the intensity). I'd place that light as far as I can from the window to get the least fall of possible inside the room. I'd hang an 8x8 bounce above the window table top'd and bounce a couple lights into it for skylight make them really blue like 10000k... and just mess with the levels of both till I thought it was realistic. I'd keep a light inside with me to further fill in faces as if from a window off camera and then I'd have a pizza box or 4x4 bounce around to pick up the shafts of "sunlight" and bounce them back into my talent. it should be noted that the 8x8 over the window might play pretty subtly if its a high contrast scene with direct sunlight, but depending on much of your scene is actually lit by direct sun it might be useful. for example if you have one tiny shaft of the last light from the sun then a lot of dim blue ambiance would be noticeable from the window and that soft light could do a lot of work. if you only have 2 lights that is a challenge but if you are shooting tight you'll be fine. Just get the sunlight through the window and fill it in ...it will be dramatic looking though. to get a sharp venetian effect you there neither to use a joleko with gobo or place the blinds maybe 10 or more so feet from the light....depends on truly sharp you need it to be.

Scripts for short films
Albion Hockney replied to Jon O'Brien's topic in Students, New Filmmakers, Film Schools and Programs
all the process of making films, the lights, the cameras —the part us technicians love is in service of artists telling stories. the writing/the idea ....the thing on screen. this is the most important part of the whole deal. -
you can get a rough idea though and studying frames this way is a great way to learn.

If you want the image to look exactly like this but not see out the windows I'd just lift exposure on the window itself in the color grade. your essentially saying you like the lighting in the shot, you just want the background out the window too be brighter. if you had a budget you might just take a 12x ultrabounce and throw some light at it out there, but then you will have no texture at all out the window.
