The first shot
on the left we shot at night, bouncing light off 12 * 12's to
get a soft overcast look. This caused too many problems with distracting
drivers and blinding people :-)
By frame 3
we had adopted the approach of silking off the area we were shooting
in and then adding rim light as appropriate. The problem with
this approach became apparent when we got to this shot. We were
shooting with long lenses to compress the scene but this meant
that we had to silk VERY long areas to allow him to ride down
the street.
We started
silking this shot at 7am and eventually turned over at 4:40pm
having brought in silks from every lighting company in London
and we were using several construction cranes to support it all.
