Hi Roger I would like to ask you how you light this scene on the movie A Serious Man.

Thank you so much.

I remember the room was small and I didn’t use anything inside. There was a small window to the right so I probably had a 6K HMI and bounce source outside.

Thank you so much Roger. do you remember  if you added some cto to the light ?

I suspect that the bounce was warming the HMI a little, so I doubt I used any CTO gel. Had there been a warm practical in the kitchen I might have warmed the lamp and shot without an 85 or EF filter on the camera.
