Flags are your frind. You can even overlight the principals and then color correct to your liking in post. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/shooting-a-dark-scene-for-football#post-50585 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 07:26:09 +0000 jklucero 50585@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello, I would like to shoot a dark scene of a football player puting on pads akin to puting on armor for battle. I want to make the room look dark and industrial with minimal lighting on the player, just highlighting different parts of the process of putting on pads and such. I plan to have dramatic music build up while he is doing this and crescendo when he puts on his helmet. BTW the subject is 9 years old and this is pop warner football. I will be using my old sony DCR-TRV103 which I can adjust exposure and manually set focus. I do not know exactly how I should light this. I was given some advice to use powder or incense smoke to give depth and to use a box with rectangle cutouts in front of a flood light aimed directly at my subject.</p> <p>Does anyone have any good ideas as well? I hope I decribed my vision of this project well enough. Thanks in advanced.</p>
