  1. Bill: I will definitely look into the Lee 652. Single source is the way that I want to go. Most of the shots are medium with only just one full shot. I was thinking either a 650W or something bigger and bouncing it.. Think that could work? Or rather send it though a 1/4 frame? It's digital, will be shot on a RED Epic. Mike: Thank you, just what I need!
  2. Hi, I will be shooting a commercial involving a couple of thieves breaking into a house and trying to get into a vault. I have the outdoor part covered, but where I'm having some doubts is the indoor part. My main goal is to try and be as realistic as possible and not showing more,of the room than is actually needed. I decided on going for the tungsten street light look, rather than the moonlight one. Can anyone with this sort of lighting experience give me some reference on how to approach this lighting setup? Or perhaps give me a recommendation for a break-in scene that they saw and liked?
  3. There are many solutions, but the one I would use, would be to rig the light higher, making the shadows appear below the framing. The only problem might be the talents cap, that will block the light coming into his face. You could fix that by bouncing the light from the bottom. Another thing you could do is to put the talent farther away from the walls and put the light more behind him, making the shadows appear out of the frame aswell.
  4. Where would you guys recommend buying these in Europe? Arri or Panavision..
  5. Thank you for your reply, I managed to do a light setup combined from my ideas and also yours, even though the reply came after the shoot. It worked out quite well, and should be out in a week, I'll post the links here :)
  6. Hi, I will be shooting a commercial involving children playing with lego's, drinving with toy cars, buildng houses etc. Everything will be framed very tight, so I will be only focusing on the kid's hands from the wrist down and the lego itself. The size of the lego set is only about 3x4'. It basicly resembles a small city, with a gas station, houses, firestation etc. I' am trying to come up with a lighting solution, that will cover most shots, without having to re-light all the time, except when shooting some scenes that really require it. I will have a couple of lighting setups that I will have to do - mid-day, sunset, night My idea is to have a light going through duffusion (butterfly) above the lego set, that will act as a key light, which I will be diming based on the needed look and time of day. Then I was thinking of putting a rim light behind the whole set, coming from either the far left, or far right corner, and occasionally giving me a nice lens flare. Other than that, I could have a couple of dedo's pointing out certain subjects in the frame. I would appreciate any tips on making the shots look as good a possible, while also being able to shoot from as much angles as possible.
