Need Help rigging the top light in this scene

[Kaushalya Patel]

This is my mastershot and I am doing a scene where it is a Support Group and people are going to be seating in circles. I am figuring out a way to have a overhead light like to have 2 kinos above but the problem is how do i rigg it bcoz the sealing is very high. Any equipment that I can use to safely rigg it to have overhead light and make them perfectly lit. Help will be much appreciated

If the ceiling is too high, perhaps a wall spreader would work if the width is not too much to span. Or if the circle isn't too large and you aren't framing wide, perhaps a menace arm rig or two, one for each Kino side-by-side, or a goal post rig if you can frame out a combo stand on each side... but anything done safely means hiring a grip who knows what they are doing!

Or use a large paper lantern, if you can get a lift to reach the ceiling to rig the cord.
