I'm going to be lighting a small room (home office) for a shoot in a couple of weeks. We go location scouting this week, but I've been given to understand the window in the room faces south or west, and it's an all-day shoot, so the light will vary too much to use.
So...the director wants to cover the window entirely. (No, I don't have a budget to use 15k lights to make a fake sunlight coming in...)
How best to do this? Some site recommend simple black fabric attached inside or outside window (outside is supposed to be best). I notice that B&H has this product that may work:

It's like black aluminum foil. Should be easy to tape outside the window.
Any other suggestions? I believe window is a 4X5 foot window.
