Ok, here is the current crisis I am face with my upcoming project. I have a sequence in which a firearm must be fired in a small interior setting. The firing must be onscreen. I have a decent idea of how to create the visual muzzle flash exiting the barrel of the weapon, however I am at a loss as to how to make the room "light up" when the gun is fired.
I have heard recommendations such as using a camera flashbulb to simulate the flash, though it seems to me that doing this would create a color issue (seeing as a camera would create a blue/white flash vs. the orange flash of a pistol)
So, any recommendations on how to create a convincing flash that will interact with the interior enviroment in a natural way?
