Ask David Mullen ANYTHING

[Rodrigo Prata]

Thanks very much for all your input here David, it will make a difference on the final result for sure.

My biggest problem is that, not only I need the blue light to be blue, but I also need the warm light to be really warm.

I`ll keep testing, and I`ll post the final picture here!

Again, thanks very much!

If there is a tungsten practical in the frame that you cannot gel, then you need to make the blue light bluer in relation, then you can set a higher color temp on the camera to warm up the tungsten practical (you could also put a brighter bulb in and dim it down warmer as well.)

Your biggest problem is the white bookcase right behind the actor. The background either needs to be painted blue, so that it always stays blue, or it needs to be far enough back that the warm light can be flagged off of it. It's also had to make a scene dark and moody in a white room because if you underexpose enough to make the wall look dark then the faces will be too dark.
