Sorry I shouldn't have written that last post in a hurry. Camera was at 24FPS ISO160 F1.4,I am watching the footage back in quicktime having imported straight from MPEG Streamclip where it was converted from MTS to Apple proxy 422(LT).I have only looked at it on my 2011 Macbook Pro screen.

I have shot quite a lot with my GH2 now with no problems until today. I shot some footage in a hallway,the shot shows an actor looking in the mirror and is shot over his shoulder so you can see it is him in the mirror. The shoot was good and the footage looked really nice but now I have...

Thanks guys, the scene is a tv screen lighting a mans face whilst he sits on the sofa, then the tv goes off and he is sat in darkness with the only light being moonlight coming in from a big window. The current plan is to use the big 3 bulb fluro light with a gel on it, placed outside of the...

Cheers Jax,the penny has finally dropped for me!5600k plus a 1/2 CTB is what I am going to try first.

Hmm now I read this and I'm even more confused.Why will 4100k be bluer if the higher the colour temperature the bluer the look? http://www.thelightbulbshop.co.uk/colourtemp.htm If that's the case surely my 5600k will be nearer the moon light 'look' (Although not technically the colour of...

Just so I have it clarified in my head,5600k is rather white,as I go lower towards 4100k it will get bluer,passing that it will slowly start to go yellow?

Thanks Jax, I will order a 1/2 CTO gel now and if it isn't blue enough I'll adjust in post.I just want to get filming now.

Thanks Jax, what would be needed to put on a 5600k light to make it look 4100k?

The moon lighting is really holding up production now,I need it for a few shots and I'm really struggling to find the right bulbs or lighting setup in the UK.I want to make a DIY light but 4100K bulbs seem to be only available in the US or be stupid money over here.

Loved it, managed to pack more scares into 13 minutes than a lot of current hollywood horrors,top stuff.

Fantastic thanks for that,I am very very new to editing so a lot of that I will have to go off and research to know what you mean but thanks for a very informative answer! Off to google handle frames....

I have watched a few AE tutorials on youtube today and really do like the idea of giving it a go,if not to fully learn how to use it to its potential then to at least have the basics down in order to be able to empathise with FX guys I may work with in the future. I have read plenty of comments...

Thanks IP.I don't have a field monitor I just tend to check the footage on my macbook pro,I figure this short will only ever go on youtube so as long as it looks right on this it should be fine? I'll pick up a nice field monitor when funds allow but for now I'm all spent up.

Thanks folks, I am in the envious position of shooting in my own house so I can basically shoot any night I like. Thanks for the advice Craig,maybe I will try the white balance trick and see If I can get away with avoiding shots that mix the 2 light sources.If not I will just make a light box...

Ok having had a scout around on google,apparently my 5600k light is the temperature of daylight/sunlight? So that will be no good to me as it is,where as moon light is 4100k(despite being sunlight reflected back which has confused me a bit but hey-ho.). My interior light fittings in the house...

Thanks chaps,you have email Jaz whenever you have a spare minute mate. I don't know if for my first short I am over doing it,I know its my first film and it's probably not going to be brilliant,but I want to learn a lot from it and the best way to do that in my opinion is to look into every...

Made me chuckle.

Brilliant,well done!An inspiration.

Fantastic!How do I download the whole album?

Cheers Jax(Just emailed you BTW).I'm not sure exactly what I want as yet,it needs that dark,alone in the house atmosphere but where the audience can still see what is going on.
