Guy Staley Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 If you could have only one size flag/net set for small location narrative film shoots, what would it be, and how many of each (solid, single, double, etc.) would you have in said kit? TIA for any input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Casco Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 24x36 are pretty good. The 24x36 floppy flags are pretty cool. 2 of each usually does the trick, its what I have in the truck, but some extra flags For smaller places 18x24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted July 3, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2012 I always keep 2 "fast flags" or "road rags" kits on me. one's a 24x36 and the other is a 18x24. Also have a 24x36 full silk which I found in the street just driving through Philadelphia one day... which was odd. If i was inclined I'd also probably grab a 4x4 kit; because sometimes you need something bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the 4x4s: I generally use 4x frames for diffusion, but do you find that to be a useful size for flagging and/or scrimming? I want to build some collapsable 4x frames (ala "scrim jim") to keep in my rig. It should be pretty easy to design; I just need to come up with a solution for mounting the assembled frame to a grip head.

They cane be used for just about anything: cutting lighting, negative fill or even a courtesy flag on sunny exteriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Royle Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 This is an interesting question. I have found that the 24x36 and 4x4 are the most useful. For small shoots the 4x4 is so important for negative fill and sun blockage. As well as reflection issues that arise. Having some empty 4x4 frames with diffusion is also great for day exterior. The 24x36 is so versatile for light shaping and flare issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
