inside situation with outdoor light coming in...

Have you considered shooting at night?

You could hit the windows from the outside with some tungsten lights so it wouldn't look like night time, and they'd be closer to the fluors inside, as far as color goes. And you wouldn't have to worry too much about the "daylight" from the windows blowing out...unless you use 20Ks or something. :)
 
actually DVX100shooter has a good point, its spelled DUVATYNE though, i spent some time looking around, that gel seems good for what ur trying to do
 
thanks again. the only problem with shooting at night (which would def. work) is that i can only shoot for two days (one weekend) because that is when the location is free. i could shoot on two seperate weekends but that it would be difficult to get everybody back (crew and cast) as well as having a consistent picutre (lights and props). i might go with blacking the windows out or gelling the windows... whichever one is easiest and/ or cheapest.
 
well if your looking for the cheapest way to do it you should probably work around the light instead of blocking it out completely, guessing from your what you said you probably dont have the most powerful light kit, and blocking out your windows is taking away the main source of light is a bad idea...
I think the best thing to do is try and gel your lights to work around the sunlight.
 
i'm going to go with filtering the lights. i think i'll use 1/2 CTB. i'll keep you updated on how it turns out. i think i'll also put the camera on the fluo setting in order to take out the green spike in the picture. Thanks so much.
