[@ChadtheFilipino]

man gotta love the mirror boards! would have loved to see the hassle of flagging the interior of that kitchen just for proof of principle. i think its always good to know the difference between working smarter vs harder, especially for people who don't know the other tools that are out there!

[@ivanguenkov]

Very cool

[@ManpritShergill]

Damn chris looking good in the shot.. Lovely lighting.. Good job.

[@davidschwan]

Amazing

[@DineshBhadwal]

Essentially what we are doing here is how to merge/combine available day light with artificial sources to create neat close ups. These closeups are then edited together with wide shots of actual location in day light with the sky in the frame.

As always..get the little things tuned crisply and the big things fall right where you want them and the final product is sharp, clean and allows the audience to be emotionally inside the story.

[@MitchDrescher]

This stuff is all just invaluable
