Pre-rig if possible. 3 to 1 ratio: the light part of the face should be 3 times the brightness as the shadow part of the face. Negative fill: if too much light, use black cloth off camera to stop bouncing. Contrast: can add some in post, but not take away, so err on the "flat" side. Windows: use CTO Neutral Density Gel to correct for daylight. Dark and light skin tone in same shot? Expose for the lighter skin so it doesn't over expose. In general, always expose for highlights. Most important thing in shot should be the brightest thing. Your eye will go to it. Keep light off walls (end up too bright) and keep subject away from walls. *** TRAILER FOR "THE DEAD DEADS" Presented by Eric Maira and Patrick Montanaro *** MEETING END: 8:30 pm
