Thank you for your precious thoughts, David! I should have added, that I also have to light the rooms from the outside, as they are quite small and have low ceilings. And we should be able to move around quite a bit, not 360 degrees, but handheld and lots of long shots.

Thank you for your replies!

Renting a backdrop is not an option as it is set in a very specific time and place. I´ve never tried projecting the background in front of the window. Did you achieve good results with that?

Yes, we all are glad that you´ve asked him that question! =)

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for the answer – the “Red Resert” scene is also a very good example for what we are aiming for.

I´ve just relistened to the podcast episode with Aleksey Rodionov and actually, Roger, you even did ask him about the light an the fog – he answered that he used smoke cans for the effect. He prefered that to regular smoke machines, because its smoke is heavier, so it stays longer and didn´t have a blueish tint. They had around 20 people with cans on set. And they were lucky with the wind, but it even was a sunny day..who would have thought. Your reply then was “it sounds so easy” haha =)

So, Roger, I guess that shot of Blade Runner 2049 was on an indoor stage, right?
