Interesting! Thank you!
I think besides bouncing, the large tungsten ring light is also a really nice light source. It also works really fine as a direct light source (dimmed), as the guys show in the video. I copied it and it makes a nice soft atmosphere 😉
The 2nd image also shows how daylight and tungsten lighting can complement each other.
Thank you so much for your detailed and helpful replies!
You write:
I always control color temperature on set and definitely NOT in post processing. How do you deal with color temperature? Maybe it’s a matter of observing how the color of natural lighting changes throughout the day, or how it varies from one artificial lighting source to another.But how do you deal with it when the daylight comes from outside and you use table lamps with tungsten lighting inside? Do you work with color gel filters, etc.? Or what do you recommend to prevent an unbeautiful color cast from coming?
(The topic of mixed lighting fills entire tutorials. But there are 1000’s of opinions about it, so I’d really be interested in your expertise).
Thank you so much!
Dear Roger Deakens,
May I ask you a little more about muslin curve lighting:
For example, when I see images from the set, there are often 3 panels around a person (sitting on the sofa, for example): side, curve, front. Obviously the curve doesn’t need to be “half curved” for a better effect (in other images it is sometimes curved)? Or is the effect better curved?
How high will the unbleached muslin be for a “normal” room scene (actors at the dining table, on the sofa, etc.)? Is there an “ideal” height?
And is there an ideal distance from the actor? For example, from the muslin to the sofa where the actor is sitting?
You always say not to be afraid for mixed lighting. How do you handle the color temperatures? In postproduction? Or manual white balance?
Thank you so much for your time and feedback!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to have replied to me. Great!
You have given me beautiful moments in cinema with your very personal awesome style of creating films …Can I ask you one more question: When you bounce, do you use an extra eye light? Or only the lighting from the bounce source?
Thank you so much!
