e’ve been shooting in London a lot and I have to light really low with hardly any HMIs. We used mostly tungsten lights and then
we gelled and at night I pushed the Eterna 500T one stop and found I could use existing light. Of course I put little sources up, but if you look down the road, in town, it’s amazing what it picks up.
“We started in January, and every day I mixed the stocks because even within a scene you have amaz- ing drops of light. It’s better now we’re in April, but you still have to know the stock can handle it, and that is a huge plus.
“Then in the rushes, I couldn’t believe it. I shot this black woman by a window as the sun came out and I didn’t have time to screen the win- dow. It must have been eight stops over on the walls outside, but it’s not burned out completely, I can still read emotion on this woman’s face. I’m really pushing it and it’s great; it’s so forgiving.” ■
