Hi everyone.

I have a scene or two in an upcoming project that needs to be set at night. We're using the redrock m2 35mm lens adaptor which, as you know, isn't the best as far as low light goes (like most lens adaptors).

After looking at all the possible options (renting bigger lights, finding faster lens' etc) it looks like day for night really is the only way we can make it work.

I know it's a cliche. I know it's tricky. I know it doesn't actually look like night.

but....

Anyone got any tips or advice? :)
