Rick thank you, that is enormously helpful, and very much appreciated 🙂

Ah great, thanks Todd that is a huge help to know that. It will definitely make like a lot easier!

Do you think my side of bouncing light from by the tv is good or should i just try and get a big keno flow or something and put it infront of the tv?

Thank you! 🙂

Hi Todd,

Exactly your dead right, it will be single camera so i can re set and relight. Being the first time I’ve lit something this big, my concern was that it would look odd if the lighting was slightly different on someone when we see them in a wide to seeing them in a CU?

Do you think then that as long as i keep the lighting direction and motivation the same, i should not worry too much about this?

Thanks again Todd, thats really appreciated

Hi Rick,

Thats great thanks, yes we will see the screen in some of the shots but probable only with the actor at 7 so i could relight for that.

I was thinking that for light coming from the TV i could use a red head and a bounce board to throw some soft light back on to the couch potatoes.

I was going to put an up lighting in the alcove on the left behind the sofa to lift that a bit. but could use 2/3 dedos to try and break it up a bit?

For the blacked out windows, do you mean make it look like street lighting coming through? I may have mis understood?

Thank you so much for your advice, it really does help a lot!

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your message, thats very kind. Annoyingly i don’t think i will be able to rig poles up so it will have to be done from stands.

Do you think it would work to key from the ends of the sofa and then try and fill with bounce from around where the tv is?

Thanks again,

Amber

Thanks Steve,

I will do… Yea it is good to know that it can happen your right… at least to be on the look out!

HI Steve,

I will definitely try that, though i would be wary, i noticed that even the more expensive software slightly softens the image, though i imagine to a lesser extent…

I thought that was the case with the Denoiser but had seem so many threads mentioning it i thought there might be a clever way of using it that i could not figure out!

Steve, thank you again for your help, it really is appreciated! Its so frustrating this as it seems like a freak occurrence with the lighting, but of course in the client head it will be my problem!

HI Aron,

I don’t really want to as the footage is for an internal thing for the company and they will not release it so, just want to be safer than sorry. Apologies, i hope you understand.

As you say i think some type of deflicker software is probably the best option. I have the trial of Digital Anachys programme downloaded and it seems to work well…

Thank you again for your help 🙂

[Amber Sanders]

It does, annoyingly i would not be able to mask it.

I have just tried FlickerFree by Digital Anarchy and i really seems to have don’t the job, although just using the trial at the moment, annoyingly buying it takes a chunk out of my rate for the job, but it might be the best option.

Thanks Chris i will try those now

I got that to work, but it produces a lot of motion blur?
