How do you light a scene at night and still make it look like night? Is there some kind of filter I'd need for the lights or the camera? Maybe I don't need lights at all? TIA |

Last night shoot I usedtwo 500 watt photofloods set 10 feet up on a balcony and pointing down, added actual lighting from within ght einterior of the house and then gave the actors a green hue (spaceship present) or blue hue (moonlight with no spaceship) by habnging a colored plastic report cover (about $1.50 for an assortment of colors) in front of a 100 watt clamp lamp that my wife pik\cked up at Wal Mart for about $6.00 plus bulb.Hope this helps

You need to use blue gel CTB. Experiment with 1/4 1/2 and full until you get the look that you want. |

Personally when making a night shot I think what looks best is when you light pools of light... Like don't light everything, leave most stuff very dimly lit so it shows up as almost black, except for the key elements in the shot, like say an actors eyes, or his hand, or whatever... |
