Shooting a big sun/moon
Could someone please tell me how I can shoot a scene where the sun (or moon) fills the screen with "regular sized" people or objects in the foreground?
Also, I've read about the dangers of filming the sun - is there a way to protect the camera? Thanks |

Paul I should think it could be done by green screening.

All those images you have seen of big sun/moon amongst regular sized objects (buildings/people) are all composited (such as the scene in Koyanisqatsi).
The sun/moon has to be shot with a telephoto lense. Shooting the sun can be problematic... I don't know what precautions you will need, other than UV filter and one heck of a ND filter!

So Koyaanisqatsi famous moon and building scene is composited?
Hmmm, I was wondering about that. But since this film was all fancy shot in 65mm I thought they were using some crazy long telephoto lenses or something like it. |

Thanks for the replies. I recalled telephoto was one way but my initial tests were not very satisfactory. I had hoped I was missing something, and I am - a much longer lens.
I'll try compositing - sounds interesting. |
