Hi all, apologies for the embarrassingly late reply.  I wasn’t receiving emails about replies to this topic and the site crash and so on.

Thanks all for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I’ll answer the questions in chronological order.

1- Yes I do have a site, heres the link.

2- We shot over 3 days. 2 in the trench, 1 inside. The first day in the trench was broken cloud so we waited for the sun to be covered. We did manage to shoot some close ups when the sun was out by using neg as shade for the talent against shaded backgrounds. The second day we were very lucky it was cloudy all day.

3- That bulb. One of those shots where you know when shooting it that fellow creatives will notice, but the folks at home watching on their phones won’t really. Alas, working on micro budget shorts!

4- Yes! It absolutely was a DI thing. I unfortunately was straight into another project (food on the table gig) during the post for this. It was shot in Braw on an URSA, tonnes of information retained. I have the rushes and the windows are fine. I chased them up and it was a case of someone trying to grade in a HDR workflow without having done so before.

Thanks again all. Work has picked up big time for me these past two years, mainly on documentary (as DOP) but also a few TV drama’s (as an operator). I’ll post some docu work here soon, one which no supplementary light was used and has just won a BAFTA for best factual series.

I agree, you don’t need bulbs that high in practicals these days. If it’s an in shot practical such as a desk lamp, I usually use a screw in controllable LED, like the astera globes or Aputure bulbs. You can get the warmer colour without having to have a 500w on a dimmer
