Lighting Cars Interiors

It is a nice day to film a car rid, but it can be quite the headache. Using day light, bring a backlight in behind your trunk. Use a reflector to guide the light on to the subject and using neutral density filter on the window to create a soft spread of light inside the front seat. Make sure to use a large black poster board to shade the wind shield, then place your camera behind the reflector and shoot away.

Fill from the key side

Adding light from one side is known as feeling in from the key side by placing both the key and fill light an angle to one side and then throwing in a back light. Our production looks a little bit more natural, yet it is still nice and illuminated.

Timelapse Lighting Tricks

Here is an easy and very effective way to show the passage of time. Simply move a lamp over an item on to a table top, letting the shadow move across the counter or table. We experimented it with a cup of different angles with the light, moving in over along side or behind our subject to see which shadow effect work best.
