The first thought that crosses my mind, if you want to go with the metaphor you do is to use a pretty strong moonlight. Put a bright daylight balanced light out of window just pointed straight in. The window already has that privacy texture, which may give it a similar feel right away.
If that looks great, then just having a self RBG light on standy for the close to soften up any close up shots.
If you’re shooting on anything that doesn’t have raw adjust the CTB a to more 2800-3600 and it will really exaggerate the blue of moonlight/water.
Hey Roger! I was going to start a thread but thought I’d ask here since this is a similar question to mine. I’m shooting some scenes in a hospital room that we are making into a set for a few days. Some day scenes some night. Luckily we are on the first floor so we will have ability to light the windows when needed. But I’m thinking I just want to let them sort of blow out. We will put up some vertical blinds that will be partially open to see light come through but I dont want to see outside.
It’s one small window about 4’ x 8’. We are going to tent around it outside so we have control. I dont have anything on hand very big lighting wise but I’ll have 3 Joker 1600s. My plan was just to tee up a 8x or 12 ultra about 4-6 feet away from the window and have all three bouncing into it.
Originally I was thinking or something like 1/4 or 1/2 grid on the window so it was a consistent soft light. I didn’t even think of a frost. If you were in a similar situation would you go with something light like hamp or opal? Obviously I would play around while on set but I can add some frosts to my order if they might be better. Are they more natural to you?
I added a grab from A serious man with a window similar to what I’m looking for.
Thanks so much!
