Howdy all. Just finished filming at the parking garage and managed to successfully navigate it without getting arrested or robbed. Thanks again to Dmullenasc and Roger for all of the advice! However I am now moving on to my next segment.
I am looking to turn ~350 square feet of bedroom into detective office. I want the lighting to be hard and overhead. The film is B n W so temp doesn’t matter, but i am struggling to find something that might accomplish this. I was thinking a chandelier because I would love the added visual element of it, but I am unsure if this would be enough to practically light the scene. I also have an amaran 60d that I was thinking of bouncing off of the ceiling to supplement, but I am also unsure of this as the light might be too soft. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Godspeed!

Hello,
May I suggest using low-hanging LED or flourenscent tubes. As you’re shooting B/W, there is much less reason to worry about color reproduction, so even the cheap consumer-grade ones from your local hardware store might do as long as they’re bright enough. Quality and contrast can be easily manipulated by hanging the fixtures lower or higher and the size of the tubes themselves.
