Hello Mr.Deakins,
While reading Reflections, I had a question about the Amdo farmhouse set. You mention using blondes for ambient skylight and a 6K HMI for direct sunlight.
When I light day interiors, I usually think of the sky as cool and the sun as warm.
May I ask what your thought process was in this situation?
Thank you very much for your answer, and for the book. It’s been incredibly inspiring and helpful.

That was a question of cost. The Blondes were blued so the HMI was not so cold in comparison. That would not have been my choice in other circumstances but I was restricted to a lighting package that had to work for a variety of sets. I could not order in per set. The 6K HMI was also used on the ext. night shoots and was far more efficient than any alternative.
It’s always a bit comforting for me when you mention budget limitations and that you still deal with them to this day. But that’s what makes it exciting. We’re always forced to find new solutions. Thank you!
