Combining Natural Daylight with Tung/HMI


Max Field

Recommended Posts

Curious to see if anyone could post some examples in which a scene was shot outdoors in the day and supplemented with Tungsten or HMIs as opposed to bounce.

 

I know I've seen it before, but I'm having trouble visualizing it.

 

Is it an uncommon practice? Is there a reason it's uncommon? I've considered it many times with my Kinos.

Supplemented in what way? As a key, fill, or backlight? Its pretty common but if you want to see a more deliberate use of HMIs to augment daylight, see War Horse Kaminski was trying to evoke the use of carbon arcs outdoors in old movies like the Technicolor movies of John Ford. You also see him doing that in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls.
