Hi

Am shooting at a house that has apparently/unreliable electricity (cuts out when too many things are plugged in to wall sockets)

The production has no budget for a Silent Generator and am really wondering how much power i can actually use at this place before it will drop out.

I am going to view the house soon and am wondering if there is anyway with a volt-meter or something i can test the loading of the electricity there.

my lighting kit is 2 x 4 bank kino's, a dedo kit and 2 x 2k's.

any info would be great - thanks

Thanks for your replies.

David, here in Jakarta they dont have that accessory :(

Andres, the director doesn't want to do it in post :(

Have been told a rental house here has a "Lightning Machine" - whatever that is. i have been

told its so powerfull it needs its own generator.... i will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again!

hi all,

have to create the shadow of a person running to be projected on a wall created by a flash of lightning....

the person running is not seen - just thier shadow on the wall....

(hope this makes sense)

will be using HDV

was told to use strobes but i think they will be too fast to render any recognisable shadow...

is this at all possible or should i suggest "they do it in post"

thanks in advance
