Might be, or just a curious fellow filmmaker who uses multiple internet forums to hunt information like most of us. And talking about this Ryan did you happen to find any info? In the same predicament myself as to whether drop 1K on a knockoff easyrig+Serene or save another 6K and get the real thing. If you ever ended up testing one/getting any news on it would love to know!

I was planning on purchasing a Shogun Flame for the my A7RII before I heard of the new release of the Ninja Inferno, they both supply the XLR Phantom power I was looking to add my my recorder (why ninja flame wasnt an option) From what I can see the biggest difference is that the Shogun has a SDI input and output and the Ninja can record up to 60FPS at 4K, neither of which seem apply to the A7RII but I guess would depend on which of the two is more useful for future projects with different cameras.

I have also heard that films such as Gone With The Wind and Star Wars during their respective eras had switched up the ways films where made up until then and rewrote structure and distribution of roles and work within the industry. I have found a few online articles backing this up slightly but if

Thank you all for the useful responses you have all given, I have worked my shoot now around using Pars are the primary light source to illuminate the forest, and am looking into the LED fake stone idea and the dayglo paint and UV light!

Hey there, I'm an aspiring cinematographer and at the moment am working on a short film. I have an idea but would like to know other's opinions on the matter before I go out and rent a bunch of lights. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Our script requires me to to light a forest at night during a short dream-like sequence. Within the story, there are these pebbles that visibly shine in the moonlight, which the protagonist needs to follow home (similar to the story of Tom Thumb) This is the idea I had on how to light it: 1k or 2k JEM ball with several tone setting gels (
