This is not the first time I use a soft white promist as a way of avoiding the whites to clip while using digital. I used it on a commertial we shot under an overcasted sky, as I wanted the most latitude I coul obtain on digital I set the camera (sw-750P) on minus 3dB of gain and used a soft...

Aha, that seems a good trick! Thankyou! Anyway I've been thinking about using a silk (or something thinner) and I think this would be the best way to handle a direct sun light aiming towards the actor's face and to avoid racoon eyes. As we'll be finally shooting with two cameras recording a...

Thanks a lot Mr Mullen. I´ve talked today with my gaffer and he suggested me to use only the scrims on the 12by frame, as a way of cutting the light without loosing the quality of the sun light, and told me that silks are used mainly to bounce light. Nevertheless I imagine that this technique is...

I´m going to have to shoot a little commertial in a few days that will take place in a garden, the creative wants an ambient that communicates comfort, with broken backgrounds and a shinny morning light. He wants medium shots of a person talking as if he was speaking with another persons about...

For my next shooting the director asked for a kit of shift and tilt lenses. I´ve never used this system even if I have a little idea of how they work. We´ll shoot on super 16 with 35mm shift and tilt kit and I´m not sure about how the aperature will affect the depth of field in this case, those...

I have to shoot a commertial on super 16 format and with fuji stock, as I´m new in cinematography (was photographer and videographer) In tungsten balanced fuji film stocks I found two different areas, the F classical stock and the Eterna stock. I would like to know if there´s any important...

Thank you for the answers. Finaly the shooting will be way more easy, only one location, kind of a waiting room of a dentist, they want a modern look... I guess I´ll try them to show me some pictures with modern look so we can talk visually. This is going to be my first work using super 16 and...

I´ve just been told of a new commertial I have to shoot and it´s possible we have to light a shot in a supermarket. I was wondering how to light such a big area, thinking about an easy way to do it as it´s going to be a low budget shooting... I wonder if the only way to do it is to cover all the...

First of all I would like to apologize for the lenguaje mistakes I can make. I´ve just shot my second commertial as a DP with a sdw 750 P, mainly exteriors under a cloudy day, clipped white sky and even if the light was uniform and didn´t change to much during the day, I had the problem of the...

I did the same tests with the sdx 900 and I found that the ISO was 1000. What kind of chart did you use to check the middle grey? Sometimes those cards could be a little old and show some loss of pigment so that can increase the iso rating on your camera... I´m pretty sure the ISO of the camera...

We edited the commertial on an avid xpress to make the offline with wich we took the edl to make the online on a smoke system, the color correction was made also in the flame wich was a great machine (you also need a good operator for accurate changes). We could fix the color issues, warming the...

I shot an unfinished movie a couple of years ago using reversal b/w stock, my experience with that sotck (we shot on super 8) was terrible, no details on shadows, very low latitude... in addition if you want to shoot with open faces lights, wich are strong (giving deep shadows) and not easy to...
