I use a large source for softness, but if a small source is close then it would do the same thing. Libor, It all depends on how close that your Kino flo is to the actor.

I purchased a canon 5D II in Feb. and I've been working to get more glass and accessories. I've done some music videos and commercials and I really want to get to the point where I can actually make a living doing what I love. I really appreciate learning from you it gives me that extra drive to try to make my film come true. Thanks Bro Shane I think this blog is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I started out the same way in music videos. Got my narrative break on a Donna Summer music vid that I was shooting for the film Daylight. The director visited the set and was blown away with my lighting and the way I ran it. The next day I go a call to shoot a pilot for NBC and then I was offered the Rat Pack. Narrative work will find its way to you as long as you continue to do your best. The opportunities will arise, and you have to be able to go for it and take them, even though it might not be for the right amount of money. I tried my best to save while I was doing commercials and music vids so that if that right project came along I could do it. Their is a ton of narrative work in NYC. The people that you are working wit now will soon be the Spielberg's of tomorrow. I hope this helped.

I have been a fan of your work before this blog launched but now, after seeing you work on set and how you treat your crew, you are at the top of the list. Many thanks. I've been shooting "professionally" for close to 10yrs but came up in a more video/TV environment than a narrative film one. That is also what's paying the bills at the moment. That said, storytelling through images is my passion and I want to parlay my experience w/ light, composition and lenses into a more fulfilling area of production- namely filmmaking rather than shooting Tv and industrials. What do you think the best avenue to take is at this point? The problem with the intensive cinematography courses is that they are so damn expensive. I have a family and am lucky enough to be steadily working and living a decent lifestyle but I'm still reasonably young and wonder what you feel the most valuable "experience" would be at this point? Just start shooting more narratives? buck up and take a particular course? any opinion would be greatly appreciated. I'm NYC based and it's not as easy to access big time DP's as in LA so this blog is a huge resource. Sorry for the long email and cheers to the exceptional work..

I light to eye. I used my HP Dreamcolor and starved the sensor of light to get that low light feel, probably underexposed the sensor about 3.5 stops. I also work with very warm bulbs, my baton lights that you see I think a picture on episode I of the BTS of L3M. They are about 2600 degree kelvin. These lights give me a beautiful skin tone.

On behalf of cinematography students everywhere, thank you so much for this. I have a question that may give away my ignorance. I noticed in the final result for this scene and the bedroom scene you got a really lovely intimate mood though soft warm lighting. My question is: In those scenes, did you set the key a stop or two below 18% grey reflectance, or did you have have an 18% grey or above key, and then bring down the mid tones in post?

Amazing that you were able to create all off that in the bokeh by simply using lights. What's your trick to nailing skin tones spot on with the DSLRs? I'm having issues with my 7D. I've been told a ton of different things about flattening profiles v.s. not flattening, exposing to the highlights v.s. midtones. I've also been told things about lighting soft v.s. harsh and using daylight v.s. tungsten. What are your thoughts? How do you setup your camera and light specifically when you are shooting with the 7D or 5D DSLRS? Thanks! This is great!

I have found the Canon lenses are worth a look. They rocked out the "Last 3 Minutes" and I projected that on a 60' screen at the Mann Chinese. Just a little tedious with prep on the focus. But Duclos just came out with a mod for the Canon glass that sets stops so that you don't have to deal with the endless focus ring disaster. Thank you and I will keep kicking ass.

Bokeh, baby! Yeah! Love the way you organised this shot. It shows that dealing with DSLRs doesn't mean you don't need to light a scene anymore. Would a Primo lens with proper T-Stops have helped you in pulling focus? Do you find the Canon lenses reliable when racking focus? Keep up the great work! This is amazing! Bokeh, baby! Yeah!
