To keep a bit of Fantasy in the shots I was planing to use the last little bit of skylight to give an edge to the buildings and using the Superspeeds wide open was the plan ,,,,
The trouble was ,,, I had three shots that needed the correct amount of skylight ,,,,,, impossible to get ,,, So my plan was to shoot a static one early and use the burnt out sky as a luminance matt to then make the sky match the other shots ,,, But it was still going to be a rush ,,, I coulden't shoot TOOO early ,,
So the plan was to build the 30ft crane for a forward looking pov in daylight and line the gutter with simple (cheep) festoon 100 watt globes ,,,,,,, Shoot one shot early and jump on the crane ,,,,, As it would be quicker to operate and not use a Hot Head etc ,,,,,, Get that then try to get the third one after that ,,,, Good luck to all ...
To trea this as a Hard NIGHT shoot would have required double the lighting crew and lights etc etc ........ But ,,,, as time ticked by and ticked by ,,,,, the crane was set up ,,,, but no camera ,,, getting darker now ,,,,,,, I would have settled for just the crane shot with skylight now ....... Not to be ,,,, We had the camera vehicle but no camera crew to be seen ,,,,,,,, Not until 9.30pm ,,,,
So moving right along now ,,,
With all the skylight gone there was no urgency with which shot to do first ,,,,,, It just lacked that infinity that the skye gave us ,,,,,,, So I put 6k down the end of the road and pointed it at camera ,,, it worked a treat ,,,,,,,,,,, Luck I was operating the crane and not remote ,,, I spotted that the 18mm was crap focus wide open and changed to the 25mm which was as sharp as a tack ,,, Like chalk and cheese ,,,, Then I thought ,,,,,,, DAM we didnt smash coconuts ,,,,, No wonder it was going pearshape ,,,
Didnt get much time to take stills with finished lighting ,, to busy ,,,
