    it's commoon to use a piece of "dance floor" to take out the bumps from the wood flooring strips

    i love the 398A but had too stop using it some years ago. We're often working with only a few FC and it's just not accurate enough down there. I suspect the Luna Pro is the same.

    I'd love to see more discussion on this. Indie film rates are all over the place and it's really difficult. 30-40 days of on ground pre-production on a 1 million budget? How much is for talent?

    Trying to find an Arri compatible bridge or base plate that is quick mount from the top of the rail. I know I’ve seen at least one that exists. Any ideas?
  6. JB Earl
    yes they work really well especially for the price. The only other options all have a separate ballast. the Boltzen is standalone, but doesn't have as good optics for cutting

    Any good ideas on getting a light stand rigged to a fiberglass bucket on a boom truck?

    in tight spaces it's much easier to use a mat. look up LC160 lantern

    IF you're looking specifically for a very compact light, the new Smallrig spot works pretty well. Not heavy duty by any means though. I also have a CLAR 30 spot that's pretty heavy duty but daylight only. Both of those use optics like the DEDO.

    "I'm after something on that order, something that can replace a rideable dolly in at least some circumstances." Phill have you looked at the Dutti Dolly? I've made pipe dollies with ladder truss brackets.

    just tungsten film shot in daylight with no correction, i would guess

    unless you need the scene to be dramatic the white walls are fine. You could just us a clip on reflector flood (from a hardware store) bounced off one of walls outside the frame. I think the iphone does better with daylight balanced sources, so try a higher output LED daylight bulb in it (100w equivalent or more. (You could also use an LED par30 or such instead of the reflector)

    Hi Duncan, most of those questions i can't answer but I'll send more photos that you can post (i did hit the limit here)

    i'd suggest looking at a rental house website for the contents of a grip package. Just copy it and you'll have everything that's most useful and marketable. as far as lights, the standard items will always work for you (that's why they are standards ? ) I understand wanting your own preferences instead, just know that there will be times you won't rent or get hired because of it

    Don't get the Road Flags, you want flags ready to go, not have to assemble them. Lights should go on light stands, not C stands. you are getting a truck?
