Behind the scenes - Mitsubishi Electric commercial
Lighting breakdown:
We had multiple effects programmed and moved numerous fixtures at the same time during takes.
The base effect consisted of 80 titan tubes individually jumping from 25% intensity to 100% intensity as the talent walked under the given tube. We had 2 COB led’s with softboxes as travelling keys for two talents, a dmx dimmed globe, anotger COB turning off when the bulb inside the globe turned on and all titan tubes dimming to base intensity.
We removed a 6x6 neg from the floor during take, which has helped us to eliminate the reflection of the studio floor from the other side of the globe in the beginning of the take, but would be later visible in frame had it not been moved.
We used multiple practicals on robots, in a car engine, under the car and at many different spots. A soon as the male lead passed the server room, we used a travelling 2x1 panel light with two Long Johns on a truss above the actress.

Lighting breakdown:
The main moving element was a 2x1 panel light with softbox on a @matthewsgrip Max Menace Arm. This setup was constantly traveling above talent. A secondary traveling source was an COB with an octave on a wind-up stand. All the effects were controlled in real time with via console.

Lighting windows from outside is the best way to make sure your key feels natural. Whenever you have the luxury of space and budget, you should go for lights being outside vs inside.☀️

@david_gaffer gives us a detailed breakdown of how they lit this scene:
How we lit this project with DP: @thommysoys
Our two challenges for this short 8 hour day were lighting a stationary ambulance and a moving passenger vehicle in a studio.
The ambulance part was fairly straightforward. We have utilised an RGBWW COB light with a softbox as our key, using LEE 652 urban sodium. We had a backlight, a panel bouncing into a styro in the back compartment, hitting the driver with a nice soft wrap from behind. Another panel was used as the blue strobe effect from a 45 degree angle slightly above eyeline.
The second part was the tricky one, filming a moving car. Our starting point was from pitch black, so that we could dial in every effect one by one without stepping into chaos.
We started with the COB light and the softbox, using a randomised (2s-4.6s pulse), on 6500K + 1/2 green.
The second part was a panel on a desaturated red setting, also pulsing, mimicking braking cars and passing streetlights in front.
From camera side, we used a line consisting of 8 LED tubes, running a simple one color chase with LEE 652.
The cherry on top was an additional panel directly from behind, hitting the rear view mirror and reflecting 6500K white onto the driver’s eyeline. I have done this effect manually from time to time on the sidus link console page to mimic cars pulling up behind the driver.
We had a few LED spotlights randomly shining onto the windows and windshield, just to add a more organic feeling by introducing more changes to the luminescent environment.
All the projections were done with a semi-translucent screen and a high power projector. We matched our light colors to the projection in real time.

Why is this Joker scene so iconic? We do a full cinematography breakdown and show you how to analyse a frame. It’s part one in our three part series of how to recreate a film scene 🎥 what makes us qualified? Our recreation of this scene & the BTS we made won us the shot deck recreation contest - so we know what we’re talking about a little bit… 🤏🏼

We have have talked about many quality standards, this one is still underrated: Spectral Power Distribution - the fingerprint of a lights source.

It’s SSI time! Do you often use SSI to match your fixtures to other „natural” sources?
