Memphis, TN -- "I love the shimmer that
comes off the skin when an HMI is used as a backlight. Make it look like the
sun or create a different style with diffusion -- opal, 216,251,
grid, muslin or Tough silk. Give it a character with Bastard Amber or
chocolate. Combining this treatment while changing the florescent in
the room to Chroma 50s and changing the practical to a BI delivered
all the ambiance needed to compliment the flame and barbershop
choreography. I used an ARRI SR II with Cooke 10-100 Kodak film
stock was 7293 and 7296.
Sometimes I used an extended eyepiece to give
hand-held a more fluid motion. This seems to allow for that extra
reach. When lensing a controlled hand-held situation, position the
talent so as to maximize your storyline. Rehearse the move with one
eye through the lens and one eye observing the peripheral
opportunities. Follow your gut. It always works." William W.
