Ok, here's yet another lighting question to add to the mix.
I'm planning on doing a 4 minute "Steadycam-ese" shot in an apartment. The apartment isn't well lit, so I'm relying on a mixture of window light and lamps, fixtures, practicals, etc. Now, my camera is just a consumer grade miniDV and I can't manually set the white balance. I can however set it to indoor, outdoor, and auto WB.(I have a Sony DCR-TRV20 if you want to know). So, I'm going to be moving in and out of rooms, some of which have big windows, and others that have NO windows. Basically, here's want I want to avoid:
1) The Auto-Iris. I don't want the iris opening up and close excessively. I'm guessing the only way I can do this is by lighting the entire apartment the same brightness in every room.(I don't have a light meter btw)
2)The Color shift in rooms. I don't want one room to look blue and the next room to look orange. Even though I'll have some people trying to convince me "it looks cool dude," I think it looks amatuerish. I want to achieve a consistent color tone as I move from room to room. So, would an 80A or 80B filter do the trick for me if I set my white balance to outdoor? I'm just not sure what to do about the mix of daylight and indoor light.
Any suggestions? questions? concerns?
