T.V Lighting.

[Adam J McKay]

I have to make it look like a room is being lit by a t.v. Any ideas??

I have hardware lights at my disposal..

I've never done this, but you could try getting 3 or 4 tv's and just stack them close together?

Get some CTB for your worklights (not sure how much but I'd start at 1/4-1/2 if you shooting for tungsten balance) and put them on a dimmer (harbor freight has a good cheap one). Just have someone ride the dimmer up and down to get that varying look. Probably need a bit of diffusion as well to soften it up a bit. Study what that light looks like in real life and see if you've got a match. May need to get some cinefoil and make a bit of a snoot as well to choke the light down a bit if you want it just on their face.
