Roger Alexander Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I plant to shoot a music video next weekend at an airport hangar. The scene will be the artist getting out of a nice car and heading into a jet to conduct business. The car will be parked somewhere in front of the jet and we will do a performance scene here. We will shoot it at night and I want to wet down the concrete area that will be seen in the shot to reflect the lights used for the scene. We will have a large area of concrete to wet down under the car and jet. What are the best solutions/options for wetting such a large area outside and keeping it wet in between takes? The budget for the video is under 10k, so I'm looking for the most cost effective way to do this. My first thought is a water hose and a mop? But I feel like that would take forever. Also, what to do in a worst case scenario if I dont have access to a hose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted November 11, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted November 11, 2016 in Finland the local Fire Department can handle this kind of things in movie shoots for a reasonable fee. maybe the airport's own fire dept can help if there is any, you would save in logistics at least?

Brian Drysdale Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 On a short the fire brigade set up a hose to the nearest fire hydrant at the location and left us to operate it, then collected it at the end of the shoot. I'd check if there is water available in the hanger, although you may find the distances may be quite large compared to domestic buildings.

Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted November 11, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted November 11, 2016 someone may also have this kind of plastic tanks available which can be moved with a forklift or pickup truck etc. Just attach a hose or small pump and you're ready to go :) they can be found in sizes of for example 1000L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Mt. Mullen nailed it. Companies that do highway construction have similar truck for keeping the dust down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
