  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Dark skin in high contrast situations

I'm not sure if this is 100% relevant, but I figured it was worth sharing.

I shot a music video on Super16 a few years ago and our main subject was a very dark-skinned man. I hadn't shot film in a bit and was pretty nervous as we didn't have much room for mistakes. I used my light-meter and found that adjusting 1/3stop up for his particular complexion worked really well. This is obviously not speaking about lighting, but about a way to meter exposure.
