How do you approach lighting
for VR?
Cohen: For the exterior scene
on the tennis court, it was just planning for time of day. We had everything ready to go, and then waited for
the sun to be in a specific location so
that the actor would not cast shadows
over the camera and lens. The main
interior scene that we filmed nodally
with the C700 was inside the locker
room. Because we were filming each
hemisphere one at a time, I was able
to light without having to hide everything. For that scene, we used two
Arri SkyPanel S60s - one deep in the
background and one high up behind
camera - and one S30 tucked next to
camera. The overhead fluorescent T12
fixtures were replaced with Q-LED
Quasar [Science] tubes, and we hid an
additional 4-foot Quasar overhead
behind the clothing rack.
Our on-set VFX supervisor,
Mike Hopkinson from Legend, was
there every step of the way. There
were two window elements in the
locker room that we shot bracketed
plates of in order to correct the exposure without losing the light from the
window for the shot - but for the
most part, we lit from above and
behind the camera. Because we were
filming 180 degrees and then rotating
the camera around and filming the
other 180 degrees, we could light from
each side.
So you were shooting half of a
360-degree sphere at a time?
Cohen: Right - the C700 was
on a nodal head for the tennis scene.
In the locker room, the C700 had to be
rigged from overhead. Andrew and
Ben measured the nodal point in the
lens around which to rotate; fortunately, the image-circle overlap
allowed for some flexibility in this
instance. The Entaniya lens covers 250
