@FMEng and @ship I believe what Brian's saying is: If you're not using long / life // reduced color temperature lamps and thus changing to a higher color temperature lamp is not an available option for you, Brian's suggesting you can fool patrons' eyes with 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 blue color temperature corrector. (Brian dragged me here from ProSound about 14 years ago back in 2004 thus I'm fairly fluent in Brian-ese.)In English PLEASE?
In English?
Seconding this. Almost any single instrument isn't going to look bright compared to a general wash at full intensity in the prior scene. Do you get any time in near black before the look? If so, extending that time a few seconds may help.
This is the key. The human eye has a bright-to-dark ration of about 1,000,000 BUT not at the same time! At any one given time it's about 10,000 to 1. So, if you have been in a dark cave and come out, EVERYTHING will be super bright. Go from the sunlight into a well lit room, it still seems dark.
Anyone have any ideas for a fixture that is brighter than a Source Four with a 750W lamp? I have a 19 degree special that the director feels is not bright enough. I cannot supplement with an additional fixture because it is for a shadow effect and only one shadow is acceptable. I have "cheated" by swapping to a 14 degree barrel, but they're not happy with this solution. I have also tried the EDLT option but don't really see much difference in intensity. And yes, I have bench-focused the instrument.
