ok so maybe I'm a little nuts, but it seems to me that the best way to end my short film is to burn everything to the ground. :)
Problem is, the fire occurs on a talkshow and will be "spontaneous" SO...I'm thinking that a sudden burst of flame will completely ruin my manual white balance/exposure settings for the scene.
I realize I could simply cut away and back again with new settings but I think it will be much funnier to keep it as one continual shot. Actually, I'm not quite sure how to get those new settings without burning the set twice...I've also thought about leaving it in auto, but I'm worried this will make the last scene look different than the others.
Any thoughts?
