Mr. Mullen,
I just recently started shooting on a short (One of my first projects as a filmmaker). I shot in a kitchen with white walls. Yuck. The shots looked so flat .....even with a bit of background lighting. I decided to review a few DVD's in my collection and see what technique was used when dealling with white walls.
Apparently the secret to dealing with white walls is to not deal with them at all!.......even hospital scenes were done with green or blue.
White walls are very common in real life and seem to be rarely used on film..............and I think I am beginning to see why.
Could you comment on this and explain how you handle white rooms?
Thanks much,
kaos
