help: light a bus interior at night

[gumonstro]

I'm thinking about adding 3x the actual fluorescent lamps' amount on the ceiling. Any ideas? We're going Sony EX-1 + M2. I consider achieving gain.

Is this done in a studio or is it a live, moving, bus?

 

[gumonstro]

it's a moving bus at night

 

[James Fox]

No I mean is the actaul bus going to be moving or is the outside/background going to be, for lake of a better term, faked or green screened?

 

[zeroblank]

Is it a city bus that's well lit or like a greyhound bus that's a little dimmer? Whats the look you are trying to achieve?

I shot a low budget feature set 50% on a bus. We shot for 3 days and nights on a bus, some moving, some PMP. I wrote about it in an online journal, there should be lots of useful nuggets for you to learn from my mistakes.
