I wanted to create a follow up to MJ Sinclair's first piece, as she would get asked by friends and colleagues, "Where's part 2?" Lol.
So this time I wanted to experiment filming inside a car, but with a really barebones setup. Just my Micro Cinema handheld on a bag on my lap. I used a dracast LED light, double diffused with 216 film which I placed in the instrument panel.
I was going for a high contrast, downside to camera and it was a happy accident that the position of the light in the instrument panel, afforded me a nice fall off on her left cheek. Still not 100% downside, but the jawline has a nice shadow, particularily when she turns her face toward camera a little.
As always I exposed at ISO200 to keep noise low. No noise reduction at all on this. Added some sharpening and then output at Ultra HD to fight youtube compression as much as possible.
