Do you think a 4×4 would work for a small crowd of people in the frame? There would be other parents on the sidelines.

That was a similar response I got and come to think of it I’ve noticed it plenty of times when I’ve been paying attention the lighting in films/commercials. Maybe just a bounce board or two would work for med/CU?

Thank you very much for these examples, the photo examples really help illustrate. How far away from a subject can a bounce board be to be effective at adding in fill light?

Thanks for the insight Rick. I might swap the Kino Flo for an HMI or scrap that idea. I have at my disposal 2 large 5-in-1 reflector panels (the kind that you unzip and flip for different reflections) as well as the 12 x 12 silk overhead. I would love to hire a DP or gaffer but alas I don’t have the budget for that for this project.

I don’t know if there is a way to estimate this, but how many stops of light would a 1/4 silk cut on an bright, overcast day on the talents faces?
