At work, old school way of doing 'day for night' is using a black fabric called 'douvatein'. A cotton based, high heat fabric that does a nice job of stopping any light.
On the movie, 'The Client', the company rented this old house in Memphis, TN..
The grips sunk, and four cornered 40' telephone poles. Had some custome made douvatein shipped in from Hollywood, CA. Threw gromets on the fabric, added tie line, and a whole bunch of 3/4" hemp, and nails and actually made the house 'day for night' 24/7 until the shot was done. Pretty f...ing cool.
Sorry, just wanted to share.
Back to being invisable.
