A few tubes swapped out as detailed below. Elsewhere we removed tubes or turned off a bulb or two and then rebuilt with our instruments, or added some gel here and there. Because of the nature of the environment, it was simplest to just embrace that we would move through multiple types of color, which made it seem even more like a journey.



I think we did build in some dynamics in color, from the back hallway and into the kitchen (where there was a skylight I couldn't block out)--two or three second dissolves between corrections to help ease the transitions.

As much as I can remember the setup, the additional lighting was:
:49 a push from the right side, probably a Cineo with Chimera
:51 a Quasar 4x2 mounted above the header before the steps as front fill
1:01 an M18 bounce onto ceiling from left side, gelled 1/2 CTB, to suggest windows
1:13 Quasars behind the free standing panels, gelled amber. There was a little leak between the first panel and the wall, I had the guys add diffusion to that to play as a little extra pop before they walk in front of the panels
1:22 overhead fluorescents--these MAY1; have been changed out, I remember them being funky
1:33 fluorescents swapped out
1:38 extremely green light over stove out of frame right gelled magenta...not enough apparently (still green!)
1:45 Quasars added inside elevator (shot cuts before you see them)

Charles, I totally missed the awesome detailed response from you! As always, thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated.

Sounds like you get a lot of mileage out of the Quasars? I still haven't added them into the mix yet, but want to start experimenting.

Again, very cool clip!

I have a simple edict to my gaffers: wherever we used to use Kino tubes, we'll use Quasars. Boom! Better in every way.
 
A lot of punch out of some Quasars! Not nearly as soft as Flo, but that punch!
