Shane you are awesome. Thanks for sharing your techniques and being a mentor to so many through your site and blog. Is there somewhere we can post pictures and questions about our own projects? Thanks again mate for giving back to the cinematography/film community.

Ad Astra,

Ben, no because by doing that all the other colors in your spectrum will be influenced. I wanted the store front reflection to feel cool, almost hyper white, If I went up to 5500 or 6000 to try and get more warmth then the store front would have looked white, probably warm and your color contrast is gone. The beauty of this shot is the red taillight, mixed with the warm practicals across the street, with the warm sodium vapor street lamps, mixed with the cool store front reflection, along with the blue light spinning on her face. This is done with lighting, not color temp.

hello i just have a quick question about the taxi cab pull up:
what id you didnt add the Rosco medium red color, and just add more whitebalance to make it look warm, won’t that give the same result?

I used Kino Flo 4 bank tetras with daylight tubes for that scene. Glad you guys enjoyed the presentation, and thanks for your words of support.

Thanks so much Craigc, the urban filters are way too warm compared to the sodium vapor street lamps that exists. It’s no substitute for the real thing, thats the reason I built 40 of these metal halide,mercury vapor, and sodium vapor lights. You can rent them at Luminys systems http://www.luminyscorp.com/. Thanks for the support and comment.

Thanks for the details Shane. Love the looks you created for this piece. I was wondering if you have tried LEE gels Urban filters as a possible substitute for an actual sodium fixture? Caught your discussion at the Tiffen booth as well, great stuff.

Hi Shane,
Thanks for that story – It sounds like one of those special moments where everyone looks at each other and you all know that you’ve nailed it. Those can be truly magical.
Oli.

Shane, thanks for this unique and valuable making of. I also used a Rosco Litepad in december while filming in a car. The light is a little colder than daylight (and a little green, but we used an early version with CRI 80, should be better now). How did you balance the color temperature of the LitePad (6000 K) with the lights outside (3200 K)? Did you gel the Rosco to match?

If anyone might be interested: here’s the link to the Internet Opera ‘Soul Seek’. Part 1 (named ‘TWO’) contains the limo-scene lit with the Rosco LitePad. http://www.slsk.nl

I was at your presentation at NAB, the shot of Emma through the cab was the “Wow” moment for the audience. I was sitting with a group that actually were freaking at that shot, I thought it was a happy accident, but now I see how much time you spent to get the reds and blues into that shot from different angles. Did you use the Celebs at 5500 when they beg the ferris wheel operator?
