notes: |
As lighting director on this
micro-budget project with a minimal crew, I was trusted by DoP
Richard Massey to make most of the creative and technical lighting
choices. We collaborated closely with editor/AD, Brad
Stephens, and producer/director, David Jetre, to assure our choices
best served the story and mood of the film.
As we approached
each scene, I worked with Richard and David to determine the major
action areas of the set and build rough-out lighting. Once
David started working with the cast, I identified any additional
needs (usually hair lights, edging, and fill.) With each new
angle, I made final judgments and adjustments.
When possible,
my fiercely dedicated G/E team lit ahead of the shooting team.
On the first few days, I metered to assure an F2.0 for the camera
rated at 250ASA. As I became accustomed to the lighting
levels, I began lighting by eye. |
