Hello guys! I'm a student film maker from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'm in the second year and we are going to shoot our first film, a documentary.
So, we managed to arrange a helicopter to make a take from an avenue.(that's going to be the main subject of the documentary)
We will be using the camera that the university will give to us, a Canon GL1, but maybe we can borrow a Sony PD from a friend of us to make the helicopter take (our photography teacher told us that the PD lens would go wider than the Canon)
So my biggest concern is, how to take a correct light metering on a helicopter? we arranged the helicopter for free, so we can't lose time making tests... that's my biggest concern...
I'm a still photographer, but I don't have experience with hand-held light meters, I assume I have to take a reflective light metering, is that correct?
Thanks a lot!
Ivan
