Hi!, I mostly have lighting experience indoors (graduating from cinemat. school), but next week I have to shot a scene on EX1 (video latitude) with a clean and really nice commercial look.

I'm looking for links/articles/tips about shooting day under sunlight. I'm looking for tips about best use of reflector-screns, silk/grid, small HMI (6K)... which is the available equipment.

Look is for advertising, nice colors, very well exposed faces and skies with good ratio control and above all keep an even exposure/ratio for one scene, but shooting during the full daylight hours, even at noon.

Thank you!!
