Thoughts on how this was lit? Looks like a single light to me with some bounced fill on most shots. I really like how clean the dark greys are, and the skin looks great as well.

Sandeep.

Thanks Bryan & Michael.

Bryan, I shoot at higher T-Stops so that I can get more of the face in focus. Usually I have to deal with more forward and backward movement than in the reference, so it keeps things in focus and on the Still Lenses I normally use on this sort of project, F5.6 - 7.1 doesn't cause any problems. But I will try the Cp2's at a lower T-Stop and see.

Michael, yes I want to see Hair and Hands that's been the issue. There's a fair amount of movement, plus we don't have a lot of time to shoot, and there is the issue of redoing the makeup taking it's toll on the model's face. I use the Diffusion that comes with Briese, because sometimes the light is a bit too punchy. I find I still get a crisper light than if I were to just use something else through a 4x4. But my experience with the Briese is limited, if you have any tips to share I'd be grateful.

Hi there,

Was wondering if there is a consensus on the ideal T-Stop for something like this:

Or is it just softened / sharpened pretty heavily in Flame?

I tend to shoot at around T-8 on the 85mm, 100mm or 135mm, for this sort of work, at a much lower budget, but I have an opportunity to step up to a bigger production and am looking for tips from those that do this sort of work.

I'll be shooting on a Canon C300 Mark ii with CP2's. Will light with a Briese 77 Daylight with the Silk diffusion from above the camera and a Kino 4 Bank from below, heavily diffused.

Thanks,

Sandeep
