hey mike
to answer
inverter w/ deep cycle batteries may be the solution but a brand new inverter is about $1000 per 1k and batteries are heavy, prone to temp and environment and takes a long time to charge..... but good if there is nothiing else
digibeta ... w flicker free ballast. electronic ballast mean that you can shoot off frame and PAL settings etc without the concern of the power source affecting your light source. flicker free + electronic = shoot freely
have you looked into a 2k honda portable generator? or even beter a 5500w honda generator w/ a transformer? then you don't need a larger CS gen set or messy inverter battery deals. i'm sure that alaska has an abundance of portable generators!
dark blue sky .... like a day for night ? or polarizer or a mattebox full of graduated filters or in post "magic windows" program or FCP 5.1.4 HD studio w/ motion? color?
good luck
