diagram: ‘is this it?’ – intimate tv watching

What’s your favorite way to set up a TV gag?

summary

key: Aputure 600d w/ F10 fresnel and full CTO through a 6×6 muslin taped outside the wall

room fill: another 600d with roscosun gel blasts through the door

adding contrast: toss a floppy just out of frame to cut the ratio down severely

clarity: an Aputure infinibar PB6 gives just a bit of an edge light to the urn

TV gag: an amaran F22c gives a catch light and mimics the flicker from a TV while our hero watches family videos during the emotional center of the film
