How to extend the golden 45 mins?

[Richard Lowther]

Hi,
I am shooting a scene that will take at least 1.5 hours to shoot and we want the warm golden hour soft lighting look that only lasts for about 45 mins.
Am I on the right track to emulate the golden hour by doing the following:

1) Use a heavy shade cloth for the first 45 mins or so of our 90 min shoot such as bleached muslin.
2) Use large 12k HMIs with at least half CTO or staw in front of them.
3) shoot all HMIs through lots of defusion
4) Use 12x12 negative black around talent as much as possible to cut down on the bluer ambient light.

Any other input that may help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Can you break it into two days?

Wished I could ....but we can only get the location for one day

Break it into close-ups/wide shots-dawn/dusk?

You might post this in David Mullen's thread. I'm sure he'd be happy to assist.

Smart arse answer: Move your location further north.

Sensible answer: Consider tungsten.

Because it was posted twice in two separate locations. And this is the location it doesn't belong in, so it shall be closed.

This discussion is also happening in the Cinematography forum.
