@champ5mic Hi Champ5mic, Exactly

Were you given absolute control over the schedule as far as shot order, since you wanted to keep everything backlit?

@ctdonoho Yes, but the director was totally on board as long as it started with the performance. This is something he wanted in the bag early on, set the tone, get the agency and client to agree on his direction then knock it out

@ctdonoho Got it. Had they not been quite on board, would you simply use 18Ks and 20x20's to block out sun and keep it backlit all the same?

@ctdonoho That is what I did when the sun got to high and was going to go behind the trees, but we got it just in time. They nailed the performance but the big guns always need to be standing by. If not you wont be invited back.
