m lasarte Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hello all, I'm shooting a scene next week where two women are speaking in a living room, near a large window, while another situation takes place outside in the garden. I need to light the indoor scene at a level so that both scenarios are properly exposed. The women indoors will be at about 2 meters (6 feet) from the window. It'll be sunny outside. I've shot scenes like this many times, but to be honest I never really like the results. It always looks lit to me. How do you guys go about lighting scenarios like this? *** Note that this is a laundry detergent commercial, so high key and beautiful is what is being asked of me. If it where fiction, it'd be another story. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Satsuki Murashige Posted May 11, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 11, 2017 I would check out a YouTube channel called 'Meet the Gaffer', created by my friend and colleague Luke Seerveld: Here's a lighting breakdown he did for a recent high-key house interior commercial shoot: Luke shows and explains tricks like how quickly to slow down windows in shot, his go-to lighting units for small to medium-sized shoots like this that can run on house power, using large diffusion and negative fill to control contrast in a large white room, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
