    Thanks.

    No, it was a practical location. I was scouting locations as a DP for the actresses directorial debut; liked how it was laid out, so I used it for my film.

    5Dm2 w/ the Technicolor picture profile.

    Canon mounted Zeiss Distagon primes lenses.

    I liked how the lighting had kind of a misty look if you know what I mean. Great short film man, are you a film student?

    Thanks. We had a smoke machine that pumped some atmosphere into the room.

    I think every filmmaker is a student. Haha. It wouldn't be fun if you had no more to learn.

    I graduated from the Academy of Art University in '07, but have been shooting Fine art photography for over 10 years.

    This may seem like a silly question, but I have to ask.
    Did you shoot this at the lowest most appropriat ISO, then rais brightness in post?
    Any time I shoot with a lamp against a wall, using my 5DII w/technicolor cinestyle, I usually end up blowing out the detail of the lamp, with bright-light hotspots on the wall, near it.
    How do I maintain the detail of lit objects near walls?

    Thanks! Great motion picture you made.

    It isn't a silly question. I would like to state that you should avoid using a practical as a key light. They are difficult to control and usually don't give you the exposure you need to shoot at an f-stop your AC can pull for. Second, if the budget allows try to shoot on glass other than L Series. Great for photographs, not for 1080p H.264. I used Canon mounted Zeiss Distagon Prime lenses for this film. Glass is 90% of your image so pick lenses that will give you the image quality you desire.

    To answer your question I used a 60 watt frosted bulb and ran it through a dimmer. I dropped the intensity of the bulb until I liked the look of the lamp head. The CineStyle Profile pretty much did the rest.

    For the close ups and I obviously obmeanted the exposure to give me what I needed. I didn't have a budget and had a very rushed shooting schedule. I did what I could with what I had access to.

    Thanks for the question.
