Young Pizzy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Greetings All Pls I'm working on a Shortfilm and I'm thinking of how I'm going to light a room scene during the day to match up with daylight coming from windows with Redhead Tungstens without a CTB gel. On my own I was thinking of: 1. Bouncing the Tungsten to a white surface. 2. Position my lights and tweak the color temperature on the camera. Pls ur suggestions and thoughts will be appreciated.

Albion Hockney Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 it will never match daylight....the lights will look organge so you can play it like its coming from lamps or it can be a stylistic choice but know that it will never look "normal" you will have to create a stylized look and bouncing a light off of white will not effect the color temperature. also generally a redhead is not near bright enough to match daylight so your backround will likley be overexposed still.

Premium Member Mark Kenfield Posted September 16, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 16, 2014 If you can't correct them, you're better to key with the tungsten lights and balance your camera to 3200k. Just let the windows blow out to blue, it'll look more natural than having your interior overly orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted September 16, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 16, 2014 It won't match daylight without correction gel unless you bounce it off of a blue card. Or you can gel the window to match tungsten, but that's even more gel. Adjusting the camera settings doesn't do anything about a mismatch between two colors in the same frame. Bouncing a light off of a white surface does not change its color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted September 16, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 16, 2014 correcting the tungstens with 1/2 ctb can be enough in some cases, gives you one extra stop of light compared to full correction and 1/2 is usually enough to prevent the outside light from going overly blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Pizzy Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 And I thought again to use the Redhead as my backlight, cos I have a small white LED dat I'm thinking of using as my Keylight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
