Dark Matters supplemental lights. On the wall side, we rigged six 12K Pars with wide lenses out the windows of the top floor of the wing we were shooting in, bouncing the light off the wall across the way.” 18K HMI Fresnels, 12K and 6K Pars were then used to push “daylight” through the lab windows. Scenes set at Scully’s hospital, another location, were also shot night-for-day. “In Scully’s office, we blew out the windows with HMIs,” says Roe, “and because we wanted the hospital scenes to feel a little different, we gelled the HMIs with 1⁄2 CTO to warm them up slightly, then used a mix of small tungsten practicals inside and shot with an 81EF on the lens.” A bathroom at the hospital is the site of a long dialogue scene between Scully and Mulder. “It was one of those times where you wish you could pull walls,” says Roe. “We couldn’t dolly much, so we had to stage it the right way.

Interior location work was also challenging, in part because the team was usually shooting night-for-day. In one location, used for an FBI lab/office, Tickell and his crew created ambient daylight at night by taking advantage of a forested hillside that lay outside one set of windows and a wall that stood about 30' from another set of windows. He explains, “On the hillside, we hung two 20-by UltraBounces and had three 12K Pars with medium lenses going into each, and we also had four 18Ks set up on two 80-foot Condors raking the trees and hillside, as well as some 34 August 2008
