Hi fellas
Thanks so much for the feedback. I should have mentioned a couple more details. For the wide shots there will be no dialogue which is great. The bulk of it is dancing to songs so I’ll have playback for post syching only, no quality sound needs recorded except for short links between songs which will hopefully be limited to mid shots of two to four people, in that instance I’ll be able to difuse the light coming through from above as described above. Sound should be okay as I have an experienced sound guy with a good range of mics.
My main concern is lighting those big wides. I don’t see that I can really rig above and around the cast for these shots so I really do need to try to balance against the sun as best I can. Do you think I’m better with some kind of gigantic reflector set up vs lights? I’m praying for some overcast weather but shooting in outback Australia so I’m pretty much screwed.
