Back when I started editing we had incredible camera crews of an ENG style. They were amazing what they could do with an HL-79 Iki and BVU-200. After shooting endless travel specials across the Globe one of our premiere camera persons came back once and said, "That whole country was too backlit!" We had a good laugh at the time.
Tonight working on an exterior scene I'm tempted to say the U.S. has now fallen into the same category and it is clearly too backlit. Don't they have meters for this is the field or a magic scrim they can use. There's only so much lift I can do!!!
So clearly what was true in the 80's in foreign lands has come home to Southern California. How's the backlit on the East Coast? It might be time to move. ;-)
