Been reading these forums for a while but first-time poster. Thanks for taking the time to read.
I'm a film student who is working on a low-budget student film here in a couple weeks and our primary location is in a self storage complex, in an aisle way that looks a lot like this.
The DP wants to control the light mostly by diffusing the sunlight from overhead, probably with 2-3 20x frames of hi lite or whatever we can afford. Ideally, we want to rest the frames on the edges of the storage unit so we can shoot coverage freely underneath without stands visible. However, per my measurement the width of the aisle way is right around 20'1."
Is the measurement of the 20' frame from the inside or the outside of the rails? Also, seeing as how it looks like the distance is too great to rest the frame up above safely, is there a way to extend the frame on the sides enough to rest it on top of the storage units on both sides?
Any ideas or insight you have would be great. Obviously, I'm looking for the most economical safe solution.
