Hey Shane,

Thanks for the interesting article and your help with budget lighting. A great read.
May I ask if you ever encounter a snotty, or perhaps patronising attitude towards DIY lighting a “Hollywood” scene?

Or is it a case of “Whatever works”..?

Thanks!

Hi Nor. Yes, I have run into flickering with CFLs, and I combat this by dialing in the shutter angle to eliminate the flickering.

Hi Shane!

Do you not get a flickering or “breathing” problems with CFLs? We were shooting with a RED One once and opted to leave the practical flourescents on but the DIT noticed the very subtle flickering. Could it have been our shutter angle setting?

Thanks!

Nor

Doug Brown, that could be. The CFL take about 4 minutes to reach there color temp. I try never to use them for lighting faces, mainly background practicals.

Shane – This looks great! Thanks so much for sharing. My question: On a recent shoot I was using CFL bulbs and wound up with the light level cycling through a +- of 2 stops. Is this an issue with the shutter speed?

Hi Shane, thanks for another inspiring article.

I can’t find Part 1 of this article. I remember reading it, but now it seems to have disappeared. Have I lost my mind?

Hate to beat a dead horse but I’m thinking that many of us are not sure what you mean by painting out the moire frame by frame…

Can you elaborate on how you go about painting moire out?

Once again, Shane- as always- this has given me a lot more information and inspiration for my shots.

I’ve been experimenting w/ using practicals as well, so seeing this was perfect timing.

Oh and BTW, wassup Wes! Haven’t seen ya in awhile lol

Sebastian, Thank you so much for those wonderful words. AOV was an amazing experience and no it was not shot all on the 5D. It was 75% Canon 5D, 20% 35mm film and 5% Sony F950 for all the aerials. If I was to shoot this movie again with all the new emerging technology I would shoot with the Canon 5D again and the Arri Alexa nothing else. With the new 120fps firmware upgrade on the Alexa it can do it all. Then you use the 5D to cover action and get into places that you have never seen before. What makes AOV different is where we put the camera and the fact that we had 8-12 rolling in most of our actions sequences. Capturing a film like a play gives you this sense of reality, not just for the shot, look at me look at me, but in the moment, visceral, immersive.
