I'm shooting a scene for my short film tomorrow and need some help with an effects lighting aspect of it.
In this scene we see the drug dealers in an underground car park and they get busted by the police.
The idea is that we don't actually see the police cars (for logistical reasons), just the light thrown onto the dealers and the wall behind them.
Now, my issue is that I might not be able to access the LED par can lights to simulate the look of flashing police car lights.
Is there a way I can add in a similar effect to this in post without having the actual lights themselves?
Technical note: Shooting with a Sony XD EX3 camera and editing in Final Cut Pro (not FCPX, the version before)
All the help I can get with this would be greatly appreciated, I will try and get a photo of the location up ASAP too.
Cheers guys,
Josh
