    Expect to do a lot of the darkening after the fact. Shoot closer to normal and color-correct for your dark look. Reason? You can take information away after recording, but you can’t put something back that wasn’t there at the start.

    And hazing the room with a fog machine may well give you a look you like for something sort of odd like this.

    A minute is a very long shot duration even in a feature film. Are you sure?

    Keep going to the movies and observe the lighting, watch how the sun travels across the sky and through windows, how it plays on walls when broken up by leafy trees blowing in the wind (as it is today in my house in Los Angeles).

    Keep reading lighting books (there are many) and thinking “how did they light that?” when you watch TV or go the movies. Go to trade shows whenever possible, observe tv/movie crews in action, ask questions, read catalogs of lighting/grip equipment manufacturers, visit their office showrooms and dealers.

    And go to art museums and stare – literally stare – at Flemish and Dutch painting. Vermeer and Rembrandt, just to name the two best known, were incredible observers of the behavior of light.

  • And the question is legitimately asked of the third-party developers. They know there is a 64-bit only version coming down the road. Why are people saying Adobe is leaving them in the lurch when they did not develop the outside plugins? How is it Adobe’s problem?

  • How many of these plugins are Adobe products? Realistically, how can they take responsibility for supporting someone else’s product?

    Third-party plugins are the responsibility of their developers.

    Grain (if it’s moving) will help a bit. So will sneaking in a tiny bit of “nat sound” if possible. Hearing something can reinforce the illusion.

    How long does the shot have to be up? One second? Two? Maybe a bit of very subtle light change?

    They also did the little stills montages into the lives of the people she passed as she ran.

    If your editing program has a good vectorscope that might make your life somewhat easier.

    Amen. Simply not being square to the window in the BG would have solved it.
