studio wishlist- mounting ideas

[Ed Messina]

We are building a permanent 20'x20' studio, 11' ceiling, soundproofed, with one of the walls painted as a permanent greenscreen cyclo. It will be used for 2 year's worth of HD documentary interviews and some dramatic reinactments in front of the greenscreen, like people on different types of furniture to simulate the different locations, etc.

 

We will be using Arri 1000's, 650's, 150's, some Kino banks, etc. with baby and junior mounts. The plan is to have a grid of pipes across the ceiling on the greenscreen half of the room, and maybe some on the walls. The architect is thinking 1.25" speedrail. Any recommendations to keep cost down and maximize flexibility because of the many possible lighting setups?
