Timothy Dolan Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 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!

timHealy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Sounds like you may have the perfect opportunity to shoot day for night just like the old westerns. I assume since it is a college class you won't have lights and generators to do night for night. If you do night for night, your background will be dark.
