David Mullen ASC

Congratulations on your ASC award nomination!

Hi just thought id ask, since this was my motivation for registering, im shooting a day time car explosion, and interior and exterior night shoot of a 10 story building on fire, using 16 mm film, any advice on how to expose that?

I don't know your particular camera, but most video cameras, even consumer ones, allow you to set the white balance manually to a preset such as tungsten / 3200K -- sometimes symbolized with a light bulb. Or point the camera at a tungsten light bulb and lock the auto white balance there after it corrects for the bulb color. After that, colder light sources such as daylight, or a daylight compact fluorescent, will render blue-ish.
