I am the Cinematographer for my senior thesis class in college and our movie takes place all out in the desert. The two characters are walking at night and I was planning on using mini brutes bounced into Muslin for a side/ambient light. I was wondering what else would be good to use like source 4s to light up spots of the background? Or PAR cans hidden in the background? And should I make the back light a different color to have color contrast?
The characters then find an abandoned gas station with a flickering light and I was wondering what flicker box do people usually use and get the best effect from?
Thank you for all who post and read!
