In my new film, there is a few scenes where all the characters are gathered round an open fire, im am just looking for suggestions on how to light this scene, I have a few ideas but i want to know if you think they work.
Idea 1:
Put some tissue paper over the lens of a tourch and move it along a slide, to create a light flicker effect.
Idea 2:
Get some red LED's and incorporate them into the fire in the set design.

I use this for my upcoming Potter-Trailer.
Its works cool!
Just turn-off the other light, just play with the cam-settings and you got a verry cool and imposant effect
I've used a blacklight to make the neon orange flames glow and you could rotate the flame to make it flicker.
but I think if you can do LED's it would look the best.

Reflect a flashlight beam off of aluminum foil into the fireplace, and add orange headlight peices to toy with the light.
I might give it a try

Fancypants will make the answer for this
Set your Lego on fire
For the fire scene in this film, I used actual tealights. The flame flickers enough for the light to change slightly, but stays relatively constant as well.
I would caution against using LEDs for fire. While they avoid the problem of getting hot (if wired correctly), they tend to give off an unnatural, constant glow. I would try Night Owl's solution first, and as backup try the following: take a flashlight or other incandescent light source, place it below your set pointing upward through the fire, and then intermittently use a piece of tissue paper or wax paper between the light and the set to create a slight degree of flicker. You don't want a lot, just enough to establish that there is a light source with a constant glow, yet changing intensity. Another option, that may or may not look better, is to install a dimmer box connected to your light source; you could just use that to adjust the amount/degree of flicker.
