Tiago Pimentel Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hey, This show has become more and more stylized, but I like the look. Sometimes it's so pronounced that it touches the realm of the unreal, but it fascinates me. I was watching this episode the other day and I got curious how the hell they lit this scene. How do you think it was? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Field Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Well those lamps definitely aren't creating that light on the actors. It looks like they have 2 separate spot/flood heads gobo'd to have the beam hit very narrowly on the talent. Another possibility is they have a flag setup the lights are shining through, but the light looks a tad too soft for the obstruction to be super far away. I could be wrong though, none of us were physically there. Any B-roll you can look up for this show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Aside from the practicals, the actors are lit from above, probably with small units like a 150w fresnel, or maybe a dedolight. They may well be snooted as well, to control the beam spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomo Girolamo Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 And don't forget that the spotlight are bouncing in the magazine/tablet and acting like fill for the faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted September 5, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'd really bet on a Dedo. The Lamps are also gelled on the top to keep most of the light coming from the bottom . There's also a soft top-light in the room (possibly a Kino with Muzz or these days I'd probably use 4x4 Litemat with Muzz--- maybe 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the shadow on the quilt where it dips down between them. That wouldn't be there if lit from above. But who knows? It's often hard to tell with low key scenes like these.

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted September 5, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted September 5, 2018 Could be; but It looks a little stronger in the center of the bed than would be if it were just the lamps. In any case were I to try to re-create I'd go for a toplight rig which I could turn off if the lamps in shot did the job for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiago Pimentel Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 I agree with most of what was said. I think there has to be a front light (probably two) because i can see the back of the book being well lit. And that is probably a very soft light that's being flagged. But the contour on the sheets tells me there's probably a light rigged from above? Or is it just the light from the lamps? It looks too sharp to be from the lamps, i think.

That's also what's lighting the actor's faces, although the guy on the right is also partially lit by direct light from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe is the same hard light, but in the case of the woman, is more focus on the magazine, but in he's case the light hit the tablet and he's face. Not sure, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
