Hi, I have two situations I would be greatful for any tips/tricks.
Equipment and limitations:
Dv creator kit (tota,omni,pro) with Rifa-55, and a 5-1 reflector. I also have a regular work lamp on tripod :)
The room is not very big, but a nightmare without controlled lightning.
The walls are wood, the roof is wood, there are large windows on both 'longwalls' with some thin drapes. One side is outside, one side is inwards towards a riding hall, with much halogen.
All around the room, there is halogen lamps on the upper part of wall (towards ceiling). I did some freehand shooting there, and I get unwanted practicals almost no matter where I point the camera. ( I put in a few pictures taken from their web site). The one end that is not shown on these pictures, are filled with abig, red drape.
I was thinking I would use that for a background for some freefighting.
What would be the best utilisation of the lights I have available ? (I have started enquiry about how much power I can draw, but have gotten no answer yet)
Situation 2: I also want to change the interview setup a bit, to be a 'demostration' set. I was thinking to drop down a blue cloth (only have black and blue available, and cant use black as many of the particoners wear black outfits.
I was thinking perhaps using the rifa and reflected tota to just raise the lightlevel, but I think this will produce too much shadow. There are no white walls to bounce light off.
This is not a hollwood presentation, but I want it to be as good as it can
