Day for Night and RED...

[Puven Pather]

Anybody had experience with the RED and doing this.

I have 12 days (nights) with snow, trees and rocks pretty much like the photo attached. Possibly have blue sky sunny days. I'm thinking it would work better on cloudy days. Apparently only fools and flatlander's can predict mountain weather, so it would be good to have ideas for both scenarios. Does anybody have any tips, suggestions?

Thanks.

here is another shot of one of the locations. The photos look like they are BW but are actually color photo's.

Thanks

Any body use the Tiffen day for night filter with RED?

I'm very fond of Magic Bullet Looks and it has an amazing Day for Night setting in. One you can parameter and tweak as you like, which sounds like more control over the image to me as well... With your subjects well lit and care of the shadows, it works wonders...

Day for night generally works best when you don't see the sky, or you can replace the sky digitally in post. If you can't do that, then maybe some ND grads to knock the sky down. You may be better off doing the day for night look in your DI or whatever grading you are going to do rather than "in camera" with a filter. Seems like you would want to expose to make sure the snow is well below clipping. Then, grade it to look like night and replace the sky if you can.
