Nice work Mark congrats on the award! This looks great! Im curious to pick your brain more on your exposure process. You mentioned with the car int. and backlit exteriors you split the exposure down the middle. are you saying you took a reading of the interior of the car and then a reading of the exterior of the car and set your lens in the middle of both of those?

 

Were you trying to keep yourself at a specific stop? Example trying to always keep your self around a 2.8 or 4? Thanks for the advice! Im with everyone else would love to see a trailer or the whole short to see it in motion. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Kenny.

 

Yep, splitting the exposure is simply taking a reading on the shadow side of the face, and another from the direct sun and then going halfway between them. Works a treat.

 

I tried to keep almost the whole film between a T/2 and T/4 for depth (some shots wanted more depth of field, so I'd stop down to T/8 for those). on 250 ASA stock, it did require a LOT of ND upfront for the exteriors (which gets difficult with an optical viewfinder).
