Hi,
I have to iluminate a whole street and have the following ideas and wanted to have some opinions or ideas. First time I iluminate a big place like this. Here is a diagram

My first option is the following: Hang a couple of 2k fresnels directly down of the light post and filter them with cto and white difusion. Between the lightpost and the fresnel I will place black cardboard to hide the lights, as seen in the following image

My second option is to bounce the 2k fresnel on a white cardboard to get a softer light and hide them with black card board as well, as seen in image http://www.uniweb.cl/miguel.teitelboim/lightpost2.html
Behind camera I will have a 1.2 HMI to give blue to the street and have some blue light on the building walls.
At the end where a car is parked I will have a 2.5 HMI pointing one way and a 2k fresnel pointng the other way.
Thats my base idea for this general frame where a car stops at the end of the street and a woman walks toward camera.
The equipment I have is the following:
Three 1.2 HMI
Two 2.5 HMI
Three 2K Fresnels
Four 600 Fresnels
Four 300 Fresnels
Two Mini Brutes
One four tube Kino
Arri BL camera with zoom lens.
I will upload later a photograph of the street.
I will be working with kodak 500 ASA film and my worries are the following. I dont want to make a spot light from each light post and second the Bl camera has a maximun Fstop of 2.8 I am more atracted to the bounce option in the lightpost but I am not sure if I will get the amount of light I need.
Some suggestions would be great.
I thank in you in advance.
Miguel.
