Well I'm currently shooting a Egyptian feature involving a lot of Basketball, and since stadiums in egypt are lit quiet poorly, I had to start from scratch. Well we've been shooting with 3 Arri cameras simultaneously (because of time constraints) :( So I had to pretty much light for everything. I used mainly spacelights (8 to 10), spread around the court. I took the diffusion off the bottom of 3, 2 of which were above the hoops and one in the centre of the court, to have some hotspots...I didn't duve the sides of the spacelights to push some fill to the audiences. The lighting scheme was more dramatic then realistic. I'll can post some schemes and stills if u need them.. Hope I helped, Good Luck.

here's the story... I am an Egyptian cinematographer residing in good o'l Cairo... and i mainly shoot music videos (mostly s16mm sometimes 35mm)... and since i have some down time between projects... i got some offers for some short films ( which i kinda have a thing for) to shoot on digital... they saw some of my stuff shot with the m2 ( back when i was in chicago, where i shot practicaly everything with) and loved it... so i'm considering getting an adapter... but since i solely worked with the m2... i feel there might be a better one (calculating price, quality, PREP TIME.. etc).. so alright... I think i researched every dark hole in cyber space to try and reach a tiping point for one or the other of these adapters... from the infamous redrock m2 to the letus35 to its less known rival the cinevate brevis35... but failed miserably... and since I'm way out here in the Sahara, where's there's no way to rent and do tests... I'm planning to purchase with a leap of faith... based on ur feedbacks... (hopefully there's someone out there that tried all of them :)... i apprectiate your comments in advance... cheers...
