It is insane how much value we are getting from this channel for free. Most of us shoot BTS videos, but nobody really wants to share their entire setup shot for shot. These videos completely demystify the entire process of getting certain shots. From lighting, camera, lens choice & angles to crew, set design, location & motivation. It's insane what you manage to fit in a video this short.

I have done a day for night scene before. I used cardboard to block the windows, and my single aperture MC as the moon, the only light I own, and love. It worked surprisingly well.

I was doing some still photos for a production shooting all night deep in the woods. 3 convicts huddling around a makeshift fire contrasted with the moonlight - amazing colours! The problem was that we couldn't rely on actual moonlight for the shoot so we brought in a big light that had to run off a generator. Would have been nicer to have some of your lights that could run off batteries.

True! Moonlight is very dim, and it takes a lot to actually recreate it

I did a night time shoot where the film needed to be a little more gritty, where a hard working father steps outside and looks up at the moon and takes a deep breath. I also kept the source light daylight colored and it worked for the mood really well. No gels. Even in camera and in the edit I kept it the natural daylight color to give it a realistic monotone gritty look. I love the blue stylized look but for this particular short I did, daylight balanced worked best for what we needed. :)

I created a moonlight living room scene using an Aputure MC by putting it above frame on a cstand shining down, to replicate moon light coming in from a high window in the home. This was just to get a little bit of light and (cool) color into the background. I shot at night so I didn’t have to black out the many hard to reach windows. I hid an Aputure MC in a practical lamp for warm color contrast, and used 1 other dimmable tungsten fixture. It turned out pretty great considering how inexpensive it was!

Love these videos. I once shot a whole short film, in which a really long scene was done ONLY in moonlight, because we simulated a blackout, which occurred in the city. It was a lamp outside the window, the talents sitting almost next to it. It was cool and dark, with enough light on the actors' faces in the close-ups, and a nice silhouette and back light in the two-shot. If I had to re-shoot it, a B7c would do when the electricity is coming back in the next scene :)

One method of shooting moon light that I like is to have tungsten colored lights playing as the moon & by setting the white balance to that color temp it makes everything look silvery while pulling colors out of the scene. It’s a very interesting aesthetic.

We shot a “moonlight” scene for a candle lit dinner scene in a short film a while back. The film was set in an alternative reality so we wanted to make it look familiar yet unnatural. We pushed the blue more than you would typically in an attempt to create this look and contrasted against the orange glow representing candlelight. We ended up having to tone the blue down in post as it was a bit much, but it looked alright in the end.

Ooo! This is sick. That temperature hack of keeping daylight and tungsten would be a new approach to me. I will consider doing this moving forward. For lighting my bedroom shots, i would definitely shoot my stuff at night and probably bounce lights off the wall and take the approach of using tungsten/warm lights as well for that color contrast.

I don't know if you can call it Day for Night. "Day for night is a set of cinematic techniques used to simulate a night scene while filming in daylight." Blocking all the windows and essentially creating a sterile studio space is not day for night in my opinion... Now if you were to do this with some natural light left. Then maybe?

The only problem is shifting your white balance takes away your ability to have warm lights, and I think the dp realised that mistake when she was forced to put an rgb red light in the fridge, rather than tungsten. Definitely ctb the daylight sources.

Sometimes putting up ND1.2 onto windows can provide enough exposure difference between interior and exterior to sell night without blacking out the house. When doing DFN I always add an ND to the lens so that I’m wide open and shallow, nothing screams DFT more than deep focus, visually it makes sense. I also like running camera CT at 4.2k which still gives bluish tones from daylight and warmer tones from tungsten. In all honesty I think moonlight has some lavender mixed in.
@Visethelegend
@Visethelegend 3 года назад
I don’t really love the idea of moonlight being totally blue like something taken out of the 80s, but neither only white (although that’s the natural look of it). So my take on the moonlight would be something in between (for a 5600k light make the camera something in between 4000-4500k), just a little bit of blueish tone for color contrast and maybe on color grading add a a very little tiny green tint to make it pop. It depends on the scene and the mood obviously but I think that’s how I like to handle it usually. For the quality I don’t have a side if its hard or soft, just what better fits for the mood. This was a great episode btw, love the cinematography

I was the cinematographer for a short film last month and we did all night shoots in the woods, so I took a 1.2k hmi hooked up to a generator, put it as high as I could in the air and lit the scene. I also decided to adjust the color temperature in camera. In hindsight I wish I used a 600d because the hmi was drawing so much power from our little generator that we couldn't use much fill light or a fog machine without using a less powerful moonlight source. I've been eyeing the b7c for awhile and would love to use them on a future project!
