  1. Hey guys, i have a question about lighting the interior of the car. Hi Ken, is it a day or a night shot? For example a night shot on a car trailler, seeing it from the front side of the car (and keeping it all the same, whatever angle you`re ging to shoot): my peronal concern is (for a narrative story) to visualize it as naturalistic as possible. That means, you don`see really much of the lights from the inside of the car on the actors faces, most of the light is reflected by street and car lights. I prefere to to have some cars with normal lights in the back (looking through the back window of the car), to set a bounce light (geled with a1/8 ctb in order to avoid some red in the face) through the windshield which is about 3,5-4 stops under (film) or 2-2,5 (video) maybe sometimes even more under, then one free fresnel (1,2HMI) which is rotateble, bounced in some warm silver reflection taped on card and gelled with the color of the corresponding street lamps (2 stops under), on left side of the car and same thing but with no color gel on the drivers side (1stop over). Both units do only appear correspondintg to street lamps or car lights. The cars in the background should also move, passing by etc. in order to avoid a monotony. I`d like so say something to the daylight scene, but I need to hurry, maybe next time. Good luck.
  2. second chance for me to reply to some of your words... I quit the first, sorry. " The bad part of it is that right now most of the people ask me for shooting video, that's driving me crazy" I think it`s essential for a filmmaker to accept the different possibilities all the different formats and systems offer. Sure, there might be few who`d prefere the finished LOOK off a whole (viewable) video production against the equal shot on film. For me, first it is important to ensure that the way the story hast to be visualized, is save i.e. I get the equipment to tell the story the way it should be. Video should be accepted as it is, another medium for us to tell stories, and as far as I concern, it also should not be the only goal to reach a whatever less or more acceptable "filmlook". It`s much more important to know how to use your own intuition in order to reach a personal point, at which you don`t need to think anymore about how using this or that or whatever, just visualize. There`s just a question from my side to all of you who have experiences with DP-agencies. Could you tell me some contact-links to trustful worldwide working agents? Sorry for my english, I`m a spaghetti working mostly in germany.
