Toplight setting options

[Timo Sonnenschein]

Hey,

I'm preparing a musicvideoshoot for next week and i want to recreate a similar setting like this one. It's obviously just one headlight, that much I know. What do you think they used: a KinoFlo (isn't strong enough, right?), HMI + Diffusion? I know, it seems like the simplest lighting setting in the world, but with which option would you go? I'm curious... Thx, Timo

I don't think it's just one lamp;
I suspect two lamps at a minimum (maybe three).


It looks like a 1K chinaball up top,
or perhaps a small coffin w/ a couple lamps (hanging diffusion box).

and a straight key up and right of cam (not diffused much at all, note the hard-ish shadow on her leg left of frame)

there also looks like a bit of kiss from left of frame...
either bounce of overhead, or another lamp is in use (bounce board or netted).

I'm thinking all tungsten w/ CTB filters (The light through what looks like a window in the background is warm)
I don't think 80A lens filter or WB tweek due to that far background window light behind the wall not being "blue".
(but this based on an assumption, and its entirely possible that is not a window w/ sunlight in the background).

There seems be a bit of haze from dust, smoke, or a hazer (hard to tell from the low res compressed still).

It's a large diffused source slightly in front and tilting back. Her soft shadows are behind her.

Hey Bob, thx for your reply. Do you have any expierence on which light works best? Which light would you recommend?
