    So you are calling this 360* lighting but I’m not sure that’s what youre doing. As I understand it, 360* lighting means you can shoot you subject from any angle anywhere in the space and they’re lit correctly for the space. That’s not what this is.

    Can’t speak for Deakins, but The Fincher playbook is actually more or less the opposite.
    The look he has come up with while working with Cronenweth and maintained with subsequent DP’s here is to shoot on stages only using exterior light for green screen or ambience… pushing anything more will clip out detail in the shades or curtains in other scenes… and in this scene you would have to deal with shadows from the blinds.
    You did nail down one aspect, all of the actual light typically came from kino flows above the window… and frankly kinos make up most of the films look…led tubes are perfect for this, during the time of GWTDT led tubes were not really a thing yet.

    This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my CZcams channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,730 subs and > 1k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

    This was a great, thoughtful experimentation video. I really enjoyed it. One great distinction I noticed in the shot-reverse shot at 0:33, is the way the out-of-focus actors in the foregrounds always block our view of the window. This balances the frame nicely, avoiding having a giant white rectangle on one side of the shot to distract from the much dimmer faces. Your shot at 16:08 is great, but without another actor, the window almost feels overwhelmingly bright relative to your face. It doesn't look unprofessional, but it IS harder to see your expressions in the deep shadows (important for a closeup), and the frame feels less balanced. I've genuinely never thought about the difference this makes, until seeing this video. I suppose that's the value in studying top professionals via imitation

    If you have access to a light like the intellitech or aputure f22 you and double whammy block the sun and light inside with 2 stand a a small footprint. Granted, not the 750w but with the results you probably will not need as much power.

    Amazing video as always! When you tried the setup a second time you said you were shooting the light directly into the window through the diffusion and not 'wasting it off'. Weren't you doing that in the first setup as well? Shooting the light directly into the window through the diffusion?
