    Or another option is a kit with 2x Bowens Gemini 500 Monolights.

    Any experience/comments on the Lowel DV Core 500 kit? I’m looking at renting a basic kit and have this available at a local rental house. Would using this with a gel to get closer to a daylight look work in your opinion?

    Thanks Todd. I’m definitely going to attempt to go the natural light route, but am thinking about having the HMIs as a backup plan. Thanks for the tips!

    They do. As I mentioned, my goal is to be able to shoot with the city as the backdrop and had assumed this would be more difficult. What I don’t know is if having this available light, I could redirect it to bounce back to light the subject as I see fit, or if external lighting sources would be necessary.

    The shot is basically the subject filling 1/3 of the screen, maybe a small table beside her and the cityscape as a backdrop. I haven’t visited the room where we will be shooting, but from what I hear it has a lot of windows and is very luminous. Always seeking simplicity, and liking natural light, I had hoped to be able to play with the available light.

    As a failsafe, I had considered your suggestion of having one shoulder facing the window so as to use direct sunlight as our sole means of lighting. But naturally, trying to get the cityscape as part of the image in the background.

    Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome.

    So rather than offer any help, you prefer wasting my time as well as the other readers of this forum by nitpicking over commonly used terminology?

    Any idea what a ballpark price for an HDV 1080i60 project to a 24p DCP conversion would be?

    What sort of levels are optimal then? Project includes interview footage, field shoot, music, sound effects… overall mix level should be in what range?

    That will work for me. That’s kind of what I meant. Rather than the entire film being a single rendered video clip, each scene can be its own separate clip but being in the same track there will be no noticeable audio or video jumps, flickers or glitches?

    Got it. Follow-up question:

    Is there a down side to breaking up the sequence into various scenes. Then laying each scene in DVDSP as a separate track? This would allow me to just export those scenes that have video changes, taking advantage of the time I have now to export the work in progress.

    That was what I want to do – disconnect the stereo pair in the entire sequence. Is there a quick way of doing this or do I need to go clip by clip?
