Spitfire Pictures called me to be the Lighting Director for the title sequence of "THE WHO" documentary. The producer, Agi Orsi, had used me some years before to light some of the scenes in another documentary, "Big Wave" about the origins of modern surfing. For this production the producers found a beautiful turntable and record collection that we could photograph in High Definition Video. The house was small so I decided to do as much of the lighting through the windows as was possible.
I subrented a 500 amp generator and did all the broad strokes through the windows with HMI's simulating a brightly lit day with sunlight streaming through the windows. I filled with jokers with chimeras and kinos from inside the house. We shot both on sticks and with a steadicam.
