A boom works great in static shots...especially closeups, you can set the mic right out of frame and pick up great sound with it.
It's easier and more cose effective to gel lights than the window (I've even heard of DP's going smaller and gelling the lens hood - BTS, Dead Poet's Society special edition, Target, cinematography master class). Check out my thread on lighting by example: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=66451 Contribute as you get footage! We don't learn unless we share information. oh yeah, and with flourescent bulbs, you don't have to worry about melting gels and starting fires. |

Also, I wanted to use floursescents but I had to go with tungstens because they fit my budget; $8 for clamp-ons, $25-30 for doubles on tripods. But yeah, I'll have a fire extinguisher close by during our shoots :) |
if you're not using flourescents, make sure you bring leather gloves, they'll get really hot...turn them off between takes and put a little extra air conditioner time in your budget (don't run it during takes though, it can ruin sound). My actors hated being in close proximity to all that heat. That's the main reason I switched to flourescent, but by all means, use what you have, then upgrade a bit at a time. I've been looking at some LED solutions (like lite panels...only cheaper). They're still scads more expensive than my flourescents, but not too far out of reach to pick up one at a time or so.

Hello again, everyone. The shooting went pretty well yesterday. I ran into a few problems here and there but most of my footage has turned out nicely. Unfortunately, I couldn't find blue cellophane before the shoot so I had to settle without it for now. The shooting is not finished so I'll probably have some in time for our next shoot. Anyway, I uploaded a few stills, feel free to leave feedback:

Looks nice so far. You may want to be careful about over exposing on the pic with the smokes on the table (unless you intended to). Pure white is hard to deal with in the frame when shooting DV. I like to avoid bright white objects and bright reds as well (compression issues)...any clips at all for us to see?
