Stills from inside the J. Edgar Hoover building training rooms. This is where real FBI agents take classes as a part of their ongoing education. Shooting in real-world locations like this, our first step in lighting is to turn off all lights, and begin with creating contrast, which usually means turning on one diffused source on the far side of the room, shooting towards where the camera is going to be. This creates a separation of the talent from the background. Then we start filling in from there. To bring out the texture on the wall behind talent, we scraped a harder non-diffused light with a @digitalsputnik ds1 across the wood paneling to bring its texture out. #film #filmmaking #lighting #filmlighting #cinematography #cinematographer #filmproduction #production #commercialproduction #lightingtips #distantmoon #filmshoot #cinema #digitalcinema #productioncompany #filmshoot
