Hughes testifies before a panel of congressmen about his alleged ethical lapses. Shot within Montreal’s City Hall, the scene presented Richardson with an interesting lighting challenge. “We built period lamps into large, photogenic, practical illumination panels somewhat similar to a Dino bank, about twice the height and width. But the bulbs within the unit were much smaller in power than those in a Dino, and the housing was aged egg white, which gave [the units] a beautiful, soft quality. Furthermore, we had the light panels on dimmers, and when the TV cameras began filming, we brought the panels up to an extremely high level of overexposure to emphasize the disorienting effect they were having on Hughes. After a short period, on a dialogue cue, we brought them down to normal and used them at that color temperature for the remainder of the scene.” (Image 2 of 2) |
