Watson, gaffer Johann Cruickshank, dolly

Trevor work in the office location.
The goal in the office was a sterile,
"stripped-back look," says Watson. "I
embraced the location's existing lighting,
ceiling-fitted Osram Dulux L 36-watt
compact fluorescents, and used ½ Frost
diffusion to soften only the lights around
Ewen that gave unwanted shadows.
Because the Osram fluorescents give you
a little too much green, I also put a 4-foot
4-bank Kino Flo with a mix of tungsten
and daylight tubes above Ewen's desk to
get a better skin tone." (The production's
lighting came from Sola Lighting in
London.)
To help separate Bremner from his
surroundings, Watson also employed a
larger soft source, "a 2.5K HMI bounced
into some muslin bed sheets," about 10'
from the actor. "I wanted to light the
space so Daniel and Ewen could have as
much flexibility as possible," he adds.
The office was lined with
windows, which placed the production at
the mercy of the short December days.
"Luckily, the majority of the office was
north-facing, so there was never any
direct light to control," notes Watson.
"Most of our angles had windows in
shot, so we arranged the schedule to
shoot those first, and then grab any
cutaways and close-ups when the
daylight went."
