Hello

Trying to create sodium mercury vapor look on HMI's or SoftSuns. What gel combination is recommended?

Thanks

Why do you want to HMI ? are you shooting daylight stock or tungsten ?

the gels used by different ciematographers I know are chrome orange, deep amber or apricot, all looking nearly the same...

Another suggestion ?

7218, Night sequence. The tonal sequence is a play between the sodium mercury vapor and moonlight thus the HMI's—warm vs cold.

Chrome orange might do the trick. I'll test.

By the way, the film is being shot of Super 16mm.


Thanks
