    Great lighting, nice contrasts, in just 12 days it's quite an achievement.
    But the trailer on the site sucks, sorry.
    Poor quality, buffering all the time and you have to switch off the bg music yourself...
    But great work and very good idea with the schematics!

    a simple schematics is all i'm capable of...

    • Just have someone do a clean render of what you already drew. It'd be perfect.harlequino
    • so my drawings are not getting love, huh?pr2
    • They're fine for the most part, but can't read your writing.harlequino

    You should consider creating a full "tutorial style" blog about lighting setups. Helpful, and a good idea you have here. You'd probably have a huge following of readers.

    The website for "Last Day of Summer"-- a feature-length film starring DJ Qualls and Nikki Reed i DP'ed lunched recently:
    http://www.lastdayofsummer-movie…

    You can see some footage as well as some stills from the film there.

    The film was shot with 2 Panavision Genesis cameras in... 12 days. Yes. Don't ask me how we did it. Out of curiosity i can add that i came on to the project with less then one day of prep as the original DP was fired for being too slow. The very first day i was asked by the producer (a friend of mine) to drop by the set as things were not panning out right. What i saw was a disarray with camera operator lighting the set while the DP was talking on his cellphone as if everything was fine (by then they were already half-day behind). They let him go and brought me in as otherwise they wouldn't be able to finish the film on time and budget. It's not the best looking film ever but i believe it's the best looking film that cold be completed given the schedule limitations.

    In mean time i updated my blow with tons of screen grabs (with lighting schematics, if you are interested):
