Hi Todd, thanks for getting back. Yes the lectern will be placed to face the rest of the room so giving back to the windows (say where that wooden bit of the wall is the first pic – between the 3 windows on the left and the next window?). To be honest the picture is a bit on the dark side, but still.. Putting gel on the windows is not an option by the way. And finally it will be a one off scenario.

Ok thanks everyone for the kind replies!

[Mark Pirres]

Thanks for getting back.

Well, I have some light leaks installed but in the above instances – especially the first one – it seems to me to be a bit different: light leaks normally come in a bit randomly from all sort of directions. Here they seem more directionally applied. Also, they are normally used to transition to another shot while in the first case the shot stays the same? I know they don’t look too complicated but if there’s any tutorial someone could direct me to, I’d really appreciate it.

[Mark Pirres]

Thanks both for this, although Dave I think you misunderstood the second transition (maybe there was a lag with the playback): I meant the shot where there is a table with a vase of flowers on it and then it changes to a field with a tent on the back.
George I’m not 100% sure is a film burn though (I meant to write film burn in my first post instead of flare); it seems to come up from the lower part of the frame in a very steady way, while film burns seem to flicker quite a lot. You would rule out a light was created in After Effects (or similar) then?

[Mark Pirres]

Ok thanks!

Shooting stills meaning a time-lapse I take it? It might be doable for some of the shots, but they would also like shots walking around the rooms.

I might agree with the cutting, but the light would be satisfactory enough for me. Shooting very early or late in the day won’t be possible, but I’ll follow your suggestions about isolating the colors in post.

Would you reckon to set the white balance at around 3000 K (the apartment will mostly have halogen lights fitted on the ceiling)?

[Mark Pirres]

Hi Mark

my sincerest apologies for posting my previous reply – I completely misread your previous message! (never reply when travelling home on a bus!)

There’s not enough budget to use film lighting, and we need to shoot in day time (they want to see light streaming through the windows in some shots at least) – I’m obviously one of those poor guys!… I’m not sure what you mean when you talk about HDR stills, they want videos – only.

Using the following example of a video I’ve found of a quite luxury apartment though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiMayYjL6P8

It seems to me that they’ve shot some of the clips mixing natural light and light fixtures and still got quite a pleasing result. For example at 0:37, there’s a living room which seems to have a lot of mixed light. Any idea on how they’ve achieved that?

thanks

Hi there,

sorry, I should have explained a bit better – nothing that advanced, this is just a client who wants to have a video of his apartments to post on his website – we’re using DSLRs, steadicam, slider, that’s all

[Mark Pirres]

Thank you so much!! (this time I’ll keep a copy of this on my machine)

[Mark Pirres]

Hi, I’ve double checked and I got it wrong, sorry! I had googled premiere pro CS6 and somehow remembered the tutorial referring to CS6 instead of CC..

[Mark Pirres]

I’m sure the tutorial I’ve watched was saying CS6 – which is what I’m using – but they must have got it wrong.. Shame then..
Thanks anyway!
