Shootnig cars ?
Hi guys,
If I set lights ( HMI, Kino Flo or else... ) for the car to look nice, I'm going to end up with a lot of reflections, right ?
What is the best way to shoot cars in a studio ?
Thank you,

Actually it is a huge question:
In short, the best car internal shoots are in large 'egg' style studios with a huge floor to roof curved white set. You can also hand killer large diffuser.
Outside film after sunset - just after the sun gets below the horizon - you have to be quick but cars look WONDERFUL with the blue diffused sky and dark ground - it produces those classic chrome contrast lines

Thank you Mike...
That's it we did it, the DoP set the cars in a white studio and throw a lot of light with huge diffusers.
And they all look pretty good.
