Ive taken role of gaffer on a decent budget action drama short film, We have a scene with multiple sports cars, police cars and stunts, the scene is a long straight road at an industrial estate and the DP and director are wanting a super grungy look with nothing but arri fixtures. Were not limited at all in terms of what we can rent besides obviously like an ARRIMAX or something too over kill but basically what I had in mind was very yellow straight outta Compton lighting but Im debating considering theres no street lights if it would be best to fake over head street light creating a hard source of light or to instead bounce it off the industrial state buildings near by to keep it soft. The director also really wants to show color differences between the different characters cars, in a way were lighting more for the cars then anything, so let me know what your take on this is.
