While we're on the topic, as someone in an essentially identical circumstance as above, any advice with regard to rigging this flag would be greatly appreciated. How would one (without a sage grip, as pointed out earlier) secure a flag off the roof of a vehicle? Of course, we're assuming the vehicle isn't traveling more than 10-15 mph at the most... Thanks again guys.

Thanks fellas. You've been a tremendous help. I'll probably end up getting 2 4-banks (1 to serve as my key, 1 to throw some light into the background). You guys hit it right on the head. I plan on using the Kinos to augment the natural daylight I'll have from 3 windows in the apartment. The scene will require these windows to be in frame a decent amount, so I'll ND them down. I've been studying up on the fantastic Mr. Roger Deakins' work and have learned of his frequent use of a Muslin as a bounced fill. Apparently he's achieved many of his images without a fill and only a draped piece of Muslin in its place. So currently, that is my planned approach: 4-bank Kino as a key, Muslin bounce as a fill, maybe a CTB'd 300 as a kicker. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again.

Here is an question I am currently confronting. How much light can I expect from a 4 foot 4 bank of Kino Flos. I am currently gearing up for my next short and will be acquiring all my lighting on my own. I love the look I've had with Kinos in the past (when I could afford a gaffer, not this time!) but am trying to discern how many banks I truly need. I am lighting an apartment daytime interior. Nothing fancy. Imagine a 20 x 20 space with light colored walls. With a 4' 4 bank am I blasting a ton of light or should I consider another bank to combine as my key? What's my tungsten equivalent as far as light intensity. (comparable to a 1k? 650?) Thanks guys. You're saving me an extra rental day to discover the answer to my question. I appreciate any help!
