I am in pre-production of a film at the moment that will require an 'aerial work platform' and a lighting rig to imitate moonlight above a wooded area.
It's part of an ambitious project and none of the crew members have had any experience with this kind of set-up other than our University, Greenwich, is often a film set (twice a month) and we often see similar set-ups, for a beginner with this kind of project, what would you recommend?
Extra info: filming in an area in the UK where no films have ever been made and its a bit of a novelty.
Some rough terrain and at least 400ft to the nearest power supply if we get the location we would like.
Currently we are looking at a 60ft high platform holding a single 12k Arri HMI Fresnel.
Any advice will be hugely appreciated
(I understand that I have recently posted in a similar topic however it was 6 years old and I would prefer much more recent experience as advice)
