My upcoming project opens at the scene of a car crash. So I have two police squad cars coming in for the scene and I'm already worried about how to handle the light. The scene takes place at night and I can't get access to any cop cars prior to the shoot in order to test out my lighting.
Has anyone dealt with lighting a scene that features flashing police lights? Essentially the scene is a character talking with a poilce detective, so as of right now I plan on lighting the actors with halogen work lights in order to minimize the effects of the blue strobes that surround them. (don't want to give anybody a seizure at my screenings)
Like I said, when the cop cars roll in, we pretty much have to start rolling camera, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
