I'm planning on lighting the set of half a plane practically with the classic moving ovals against the talent and background. I've got a few ideas as to how to create the ovals but then to have them move I'm struggling to think of a consistent method. Any advice on how to light the outside of the plane to create an even blown out background, and foreground, including moving ovals would be greatly appreciated. Chris

Hello, In a few weeks i will gaffer a short film which has a longtake scene in it. The scène is situated in a house party, the camera 'walks' through the house and will see everything. So in my opinion the best way to light this scene, is lighting only by practical lights. So I thought about the French film 'Irreversible', which has also a house party longtake scene, and also lit by practicals. I wondered if there is anybody who knows this scène, and can tell me how they did it. The actors are mostly on stop, and the DoF isn't really small though. Did they simply use high ASA, cause that's what I think (due to all the noise/grain). The film is shot on 16 and 35mm, but does something like ASA1600 or ASA3200 exists? Because I think in such low light you definitely need such ASA values. We will shoot on a Red one. Pushing the Red that far isn't an option I think. And shoot on f1.3 neither. Tips anybody?
