Dinner and Death satire scene

[grjohnson]

Here is a brief clip of a scene from a comedy movie I am currently shooting in Germany using the AG-DVX100. This scene was shot using the P6 (24fps Progressive Advanced) factory default settings. To achieve the "look" for our film we are using a rose colored haze filter on the lens and a rose colored gel on the backlight. This gives the movie a warmer and richer texture. Editing was done in Vegas 6. Here is a link to a DivX copy of the scene:

The lighting looked pretty arkward...since there were many visible shadows at the back..and poor old dead man...

The space we shot that scene in was a real kitchen nook with a VERY low ceiling. Unfortunately, there was no way to get the key lights high enough to avoid the shadows. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks

I've added a second scene to the initial one you saw and it follows immediately on the same link. It is the next scene that follows that one and you will see a considerable difference in how this one is lit and staged. I would appreciate your feedback on the lighting difference.

The additional scene (The Princess) has my two lead actors and is on the movie's anchor set. The name of the movie is "Puss N Boots - NOT" and after seeing this additional scene you will have a much better feel for the context of this comedy. Again, thanks for the feedback.
