Shooting a scene for a mini documentary that needed that quiet, middle-of-the-night feeling. So I put an Aputure 300D outside the bedroom window with blue gel to play the moon, and let it fall softly across the room.
Then I used the bedside lamp as a practical, with ND on it to pull it down. That way it adds a little warmth without fighting the moonlight.
Cool from outside, warm from inside. That contrast is the whole mood.
This is the part of filmmaking I love most
