  1. Are you close to any rental shops? You need to be able to see how the Kino lamps are connected and then you can make custom wiring harnesses from Kino parts that are available for purchase. You still need the ballast to drive the Kinos so it isn't really a cheap DIY project. Although you can rent those relatively cheap. http://www.filmtools.com/kino-flo-har-4801-single-locking-harness-4.html?nosto=nosto-page-product1
  2. Look around Toronto for a canopy supply shop or Garden center. http://mpcanopies.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=13
  3. In the photo world we would build a 20x20 Black box out of 20x solids or ultra bounce- they're much lighter. 20x20 Frame 4- Hi Hi Rollers or Mombo combos at each corner or Wind Up stands. Solids all around.
  4. You can get Painting with Light at the Library :) http://catalog.lexpublib.org/#section=search&term=painting%20with%20light&page=0&sortKey=Relevancy&db=ls2pac&branchFilters=["1","2","3","4","5","6"]&facetFilters=[]&audience=[] Shelf Location at Central Library Collection Shelf Location Status Adult NonFiction 779.5343 Al79p 1995 Checked In
  5. As a student do you not have fellow students to help? Long long long time ago when I was in school we would work on each other's projects.

  7. Could be an old globe too. Should have a spare on set- rentals are sent out with a spare globe.
  8. You have contradicting ideas. ....You say you take safety seriously yet you want people to sign a waiver to cover something they have no control over i.e fog machine you bring to set. If you do take it seriously then you get insurance for your shoot because.. as you mentioned..accidents do happen. Waivers are for activities in which the participant acknowledges that the activity they are about to engage in can be dangerous and cause injury.
  9. If you are packing them up in a car I would look into Road Rags. They travel a wee bit better.
  10. Around here we can get a Tow plant and distro pretty cheap. If you only need to power up 1 M40 then a 6500/7000 watt may make sense as you can get them in a cargo van. 6500/7000 is $155.00 a day plus a couple 60amp bates @ I can have a 250 amp tow plant delivered for $85.00 and the daily rate is $325.00 500amp is $395.00
  11. Photoflex has a 39"x72" Frame and fabrics https://www.adorama.com/pflp3972wb.html https://www.adorama.com/pflp3972fr.html?RRref=productPage
  12. Looks like Chimera Universal LED light bank on whichever brans of Led panel they're using.
  13. I imagine you would need to check what the local repair shops are charging in Germany. Ramstein- spent a few years there as a youth on the Air Base.
  14. That will work but as you mentioned you'll have to step down from the 60amp bates connector to an Edison. You can get the 60amp bates from Film Tools 32 bux and then wire it to a piece of 12/3 cord and an Edison connector. http://www.filmtools.com/grip-and-electrical/electrical/ba60ampcapl.html
  15. Where are you located? We've put mounts inside 5ks to hold a flash head. Matthew Rolston shot a lot of his portraits using a Mole 5k with a Profoto twin head inside. I also have a 2k Arri whee I drilled through the back and mounted a Profoto adapter ring. Yup 4" Hole through the back of the Arri Studio 2k. If you are just using them as props then rigging a different lamp base for a lower wattage tungsten globe inside is relatively easy.
  16. Quality Light Metric 7095 Hollywood Blvd Ste 550 Hollywood, CA 90028Hollywood Get Directions Phone number(323) 467-2265 no website.
  17. I think he is asking more about the people in the film/show that are not hiding their faces. Not so much how the Filmmaker gets away with making the show. I don't think Ive seen footage that takes place in America where they haven't blocked out the participants while engaging in illegal activities. There certainly might be and if there is and the PoPo see it they will certainly go after the criminals. Cops have busted people through their stupid FB postings. I have seen footage from around the world where they follow poachers and the poachers don't seem to care if their face is seen.
  18. No problem shooting the HMI light through the windows even at the height you mentioned. Just hire a boom lift or a scissors lift. The problem is just money :)
  19. Strobe for in camera sell f the gunfire and FX in post for the muzzle effects "when Pitt pulled the trigger the strobe light duplicated the characteristic flash of light as the gun was fired (the muzzle flash itself was created in post production)."
  20. Those all look like a version of the Beadboad-Styrofoam. Foamcore is a smooth surface. It is usually used as a backing for mounting artwork, photos and anything else you need displayed.
  21. Only thing Ive seen from Arri : The L5 is approximately 45% brighter than a 300 watt tungsten Fresnel, but only consumes 115 watts. When compared to the L7, the L5 is half the weight and size. I think i read where the L10 is close to a 2k Tungsten.
  22. Search around Film Tools for USA terms. http://www.filmtools.com/1beadboard.html http://www.filmtools.com/instantsearchplus/result/?q=foamcore&page_num=2
