Testing out some moody, cinematic lighting scenarios in the studio.

Inspired by the cinematography of the Dune "Gom Jabbar" scene.

Lit with an Aputure 1200D shooting down through a double silked 8×8 diffusion and a bead board for fill. May add a bit of hair light for next test, but pleased with this look so far.

Shot on FX3 with ZEISS Camera Lenses Compact Primes.

‼️ This is another test ‼️

Dialing in our "day-for-night to dawn" transition. We shot this in the middle of a bright and sunny day. Quite a stark improvement from our last go around, but already we can see some areas where we need to improve upon.

For one, we did not have enough ND to make outside truly appear as night. Ideally, I would have liked to at least had one more full-stop of ND to darken our image, but then our lights would have not been powerful enough. We also wanted to stay pretty shallow with our DoF at T4.0 to get some bokeh and hide imperfections in the background that would give away the time of day.

Originally, I'd wanted to blast some light onto the background where the fence line was, but it couldn't overtake the sunlight at full blast, and we were left with little light on our subject to bring them back to day, so we had to cut that light and move it inside for our key.

This was a 3-point lighting setup, so pretty simple. One Aputure 1200D as backlight right outside the sliding glass door motivating our sunlight and another 1200D inside on our subject side-lit with gridded diffusion and some CTOs to warm up the tone a bit, and then a 300x on fill side set to 2700K. To bring up the lights, we did the 300x manually while bringing up the 1200Ds with the Sidus Link application on our phones.

On cam, we had 4 stops of ND and a circular polarizer adding about half a stop, then set our temp at 3200K to render the scene blue when the lights were dim and become warmer as the lights come up.

Lastly, in the opening night portion, our subject is pretty dark in the face, even with a supposed computer display on in front of them, which does take away from the mise-en-scene of the shot. Of course, we planned for this, but our little block light was dead and corroded, so we had to make due.

Still far from perfection, but we did better than the last time, and we will do even better on the next one.

‼️This is a test‼️

Showing the team some "Day for Night" lighting scenarios that transition into "Daylight/Dawn."

This was a 2 light set-up (well, technically 3) utilizing some natural light spilling in through the window and a 1200d with a softbox and CTO motivating the outside light and acting as our "daylight." We then added a 300x for fill on shadow side, but being limited on time, we had to make some quick decisions:

We had to use 4 stops of ND, as well as a polarizer adding about half a stop, to actually get dark enough to achieve "night," so we found that the 300x was simply not enough light for our subject whenever we had the softbox with silks. We ended up removing our softbox from our 300x and adding a cone with a honeycomb for directional light on the subject. If you pay close attention, you will notice a hard shadow across the subject's chest in "night" AND "day" whenever he raises his hand with the phone. Not as noticeable in the "night" portion, but definitely so in the "day."

Ideally, we would have wanted to use another 1200d with a softbox and silk or an 8x8 silk on some tallboys for our subject since the cam is stopped down so much, but this was just a test to get us used to the workflow, and we were limited on time and gear.

Nonetheless, I feel satisfied where we left this. Now we know what NOT to do.
