Hey guys! I'm new here, so hello!
I am DPing my first feature(horror genre) and due to the fast pace schedule we have, we will only have time and budget for minimal lightning - so I want to rely heavily on natural,practical and modified practical lighting, working with the PD to light the scene- a lot like what Dallas Buyer club did.
I know that a lot of the work will be in finding the right locations, but setting that aside, what are some tips you guys have, or innovative ways you guys have lit practically!
Currently, I have thought of the possibility of using
oil/Gas lambs, multi wick candles, china balls, replacing bulbs in household lambs with higher wattage ones, replacing standard fluorescent tubes with kino tubes
Any other ideas or great ways to use these?
We are shooting Alexa with cooke s4(f2.8) lenses btw
Thanks guys!
