I'm working on an HD short, and the director wants the camera-mounted spotlight look Ellen Kuras did in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". I'm wondering what kind of light I should rig to the camera. In the film, the light is very hard and "spotty"...I doubt there was much/any diffusion. It must have also been pretty bright--they shot 500-ASA, but the faces are often pretty blown-out. In an article, Ellen Kuras said she used sodium & mercury vapor lights...I think this was just to balance temperature to streetlights, though.
Many thanks for any suggestions/leads.
