  1. I'm shooting on a FS100 this weekend and I've been searching for a good picture profile I can use in camera. I've come across Abel Cine's AB Range which I like and it seems I can get the most dynamic range using that when grading, but does anyone else have any of their own favorites or personal preferences? The party scene will have colors like blue, green, and red throughout the room. And outside will be sunset and moonlight. Any suggestions? This is the AB Range settings. Picture Style: Abel Cine AB Range Black Level: +7 Gamma: Cinematone1 Black Gamma: High, +7 Knee: Manual, Point= 75% / Slope= +3 Color Mode: Cinematone1, Level 8 Color Level: -7 Color Phase: 0 Color Depth: R= +1, G= +5, B= -3, C= 0, M= +1, Y= +6 Detail: -7 / Manual Set= Off
  2. Thank you both for the suggestions, your comments have definitely helped me think through my lighting design. I’m leaning more towards using color bulbs as the practical lights for the room and act as motivators for the 150s that I can bounce off the walls or have them on the shadow maker to match the DJ led light. The space we’re working with is pretty small (7ft high and about 25ft wide) so I’ll use color practicals, like David recommended, to make it feel more realistic, and just use the available lights I have as extra fill. I’ll probably use the 1K arrisoft as backlight and use 300s w/ gels and the kino as light behind the camera as fill, and then make small adjustments for the close ups. But we're not filming until January 15th so I have time to make changes. Thank you both again.
  3. Hey all, I'm working on a film where a majority of the scenes take place during a party in an apartment. The director wants pops of color like cyan, purple, blue, and pink in the room; the scene is supposed to imitate a college party. I have a general idea of how I want it to look, mostly with the close ups, but I didn't know if anybody has any experience lighting for a party, especially for wide shots. Equipment I have to use: (2) 1k fresnels (2) 1k open faces 1.2 Arri HMI (1) 4'4 kino (tungsten and daylight bulbs) Arri Softbank kit (1k arrisoft, 2 650s) Arri mini fresnel kit (2 - 150s, 2 - 300s) Arri Fresnel kit (4 - 650s) 1K/750/250 rifas 1x1 three point lighting kit Shadow maker (2) 1k dimmers I read that china balls are good to add fill in the room, as well as LED bike flashing lights for MCUs/CUs. I was thinking about using a LED DJ disco light to act as a motivator for the lights. Thanks.
