I understand that Kinoflo Parabeams are intended as studio lights, but on my current film budgetary, crew, & power restraints are forcing us to use them on location.
That said, I was wondering what the best way would be to rig these lights out over a small location with a high ceiling without it showing in the wide shots. Is speedrail armed out over the room on a hi-hi, heavily bagged, ratchet strapped, and safety cable attached an option? Or is there a possibility of it sagging? Steel piping any better?
What about diffusing said lights? What's the best way to attach a skinned frame? (C-boom in front of the light? Big ben with C-stand arm and knuckle holding frame?)
Thanks for any help you can provide!
